  1. Yes indeed. Thanks for fav from youth - before the “alas” became too clear.

  2. Hey Capt Fax relax, take the chill pill. You and Ms X have reservation
    We cleaned up a lot of confusion on Friday. Time for a breather to let BVR ponder whether he wants to ask for a recount — tee hee

  3. Strange to recall a time when the “news” was the daily paper, a half hour each of Fahey Flynn and Huntley and Brinkley, and a weekly magazine’s cover art could pack a wallop.

    Trippy to see the Golden Jet pop up there among Ho Chi Minh, LBJ, Nixon and Breznev.

  4. My soul was psychedelicized a long time ago.

    It’s time for Illinois to legalize marijuana. Legalization is on the move in other states. Tick tock, Illinois.

  5. I tried to Google the answer but I seem to recall (as a very young man) at least one legislative session that went past the 4th of July. This was of course prior to the deadline being changed from 6/30 to 5/31. This is shaping up to be one of those years.

  6. Stones, we were in session into August more than once under RRB’s reign of error.

  8. Ugh. Using Time magazine covers to reflect an era from half a century ago, sure makes that era look like a waste of time.

  9. Rich,
    Great start to the day. Brings back all the memories of going to Chances R in Champaign and hearing this song during my college days in the late 60’s. What a terrible era in our country.
