Pale Rider in the dark shadows
My new habit of carrying the small camera everywhere with me is a good one I think. We are also entering prime cycling weather. A certain amount of wind chill is an incredible feeling.

Open Mic Night once again
I did the open mic night at Limerick for the first time in quite a while last night. The songs I played were Blackjack County Chain, Red Clay Halo, Will You Miss Me, and
Waitin’ Around to Die. I played breaks on Blackjack County Chain and Will You Miss Me. It’s hard to tell how it all sounded with the PA the way it is. I’m bringing my pre-amp next time.The A-Sides are in the photo above.

Tuesday rapid fire
I’m back from Kentucky, I’ll have a recap of that soon, in the meantime, here are some interesting links
- Harry Anderson and New Orleans
- An underappreciated man of all time
- Ranking Blogs as newspapers
- Radio Shack fires 400 people by email
- Offshore wind mills – seems pretty cool
- Man Lives to 112 Despite Junk-Food Diet
- This was the funniest SNL skit of all time, surprisingly it’s not on YouTube
- Another good skit is, specifically, Seinfeld meets Oz.
- A seemingly major oil discovery. Probably not as big a deal as everyone thinks it is, but then again, maybe not.

From Stone Mountain Park
The Scott Boulevard Ace Hardware. It’s a close second to their best billboard, which is “Grills, Grills, Grills!”

Midweek rapid fire
- Real life Pac Man – hysterical
- One must not question the existence of Global Warming – This is in line with a trend I’ve been noticing in the media and it’s associated hacks, which is the annoying “No serious [insert either scientist, economist, expert, industry insider, analyst] disputes the existence of [insert theory that one is pushing]” mantra.
- Proportionate responses – one of the more daft comments on the Israel -Hezbollah conflict was that Israel’s response was disproportionate. Intentionally proportionate responses went out with the Greeks, and it’s only by accident now when the response is proportionate. The whole notion of strategy is matching strength to weakness. That is most of Sun Tsu’s Art of war.
- AcousticFriends.com – MySpace for the bluegrass/acoustic crowd. I’m listed on there as “Pale Rider”.

Funny
Chinese officials have decided to crack down on the practice at some rural villages of hiring strippers to perform at funerals. The practice is intended to attract more attendees to funerals because many people believe that a greater number of people improve the deceased’s chances for better afterlife.
