I was fortunate to make her acquaintance after she finished her show at a local small festival in 1989(?). We talked about 10-15 minutes while the next band (Ozark Mountain Daredevils, as I recall?) was setting up. She was super friendly and charming, even moreso than I expected. And she was *very* short - like 5 ft. if even that. Coulda even been 4'11". I remember wanting to ask her stuff about working with Neil or Emmylou, but figured I'd better not go there. That was when she was past her prime, hit-wise, but she gave a fine performance. Her backing band was only so-so, and quite unremarkable.

"I got that song off a tape I found lying on the floor of Neil's car," she once said of her initial hit. "I popped it in the tape player and commented on what a great song it was. Neil said, You want it? It's yours.' "

Yeah - I knew her and Neil were an item for a while, which is why I decided not to bring that up. I do not remember knowing at that time that she and Linda R. were roommates and close for quite a while.
I *might* have seen here when she was singing with Buffet once, too, but don't specifically remember that. Normally it was what's-her-name.
Saw here husband play literally countless times in all kinds of great bands, but I'm sure many here also did.

Linda introduced her to Neil when Neil was looking for a singer, she was at Linda's when Neil called and he came over and they went right to work. (read in wikipedia) She sang with lots of folks. Neil's sister said she took a lot of valium and tylenol pm. Probably with alcohol.

A Memphis teacher abducted in broad daylight is merely "collateral damage" since the open borders benefit so much to so many others--sounds like some John Stuat Mill bull**** argument on greatest-happiness, or some other crap...or, am I being racist?

I've given up on seeing a star filled sky again. At first glance there doesn't appear more than a few hundred. It's a far cry from the sky I saw on a moonless night near Salton Sea. That was something to behold. To me, even the night skies over the Big Island didn't seem as clear.

Glad you appreciated that, ix. I imagine you, and/or many others here are familiar with the late, great mountaineer, explorer, photographer, and author Galen Rowell, who published many books (some of the "coffee-table" genre). A lot of his most famous "jaw-dropping" stuff is from that part of Asia in general - the Himalayas, the Tian Shin, Xinjiang, Mongolia, Tibet, etc. Just fabulous work, and he was probably the best ever at what he did. The Chinese company that made that video (as well as others including launching a drone from the very top of Everest!) seems to have almost inherited his vision and spiritual connection to those places. It's the first stuff I've seen since Rowell died that made me think "so *that's* where his spirtit went".

That's completely crazy, of course. Is that the same course as that other video someone posted a few years ago? It was somewhere in S.A., but I didn't remember it being Santiago. But maybe it was. And the course wasn't totally familiar. I may try to find it.
And.......once again........niggling little visa paperwork issues kept me from competing this year. Sigh......

No, the previous one was from Medellin. I can't find it quickly on this site, but the link below is a version of it, filmed via helmet-cam. (It may be the exact video.) Both methods have their pros and cons. I actually think the Medellin course is scarier; certainly longer. Both almost look speeded-up, but of course they're not.

At 12 percent alcoholic content...whew, the booze burned the back of one's throat upon drinking...not good, but, halfway there to a solid buzz drinking merely one beer (for my then tender liver)...French beer, not Spanish, I suspected...

These eyeglasses may be even better than I suspected...wearing them at a distance of approx. nine feet from the television, I pulled up the Snellen chart from my YouTube app and read all the lines, all the down!
I don't wear them for computer usage, they're a bit too strong for anything under five feet distance, but...
Wait a minute, I need to sit six meters distance from the chart, not a mere three...
