Well, Tippins is closed, huh...ain't that a sign of the end times?
Bud, speaking of "Nixey", me and JVG had a tune a few years back, an instru-mental to be exact, called "The Nixey Blues". I'll have to dust it off and bring it back. It wudn't bad. My Ozarkian anscestors were fond of calling Sedalia; "Sedaily", and Tulsa, "Tulsy". You do know who you're dealing with when that particular accent and vernacular grace your tympanic membrane. As for Hurley, I have spent many hours 'sploring the blacktops and gravel roads in the greater Hurley metroplex, and they are very nice for mid-speed driving and thinking.
At this point I will issue my customary pre-emptive "Nausea Warning", as the debacles known as the "political conventions" begin. Just my opinion. As for myself, I'm a radical de-centrist, hoping to bring down the man and his system through apathy...as if I cared.

more later, be good.
