My friends have seen Tyler around town here since he’s recording and living here for a while. They commented on the multicolor hair and how skinny he is. I love this town.

I’ve always thought Tyler was pretty weird-and he’s always looked skeletal to me-and no one can scream quite like he does-like in “What it Takes”-the concrete guy I work with says that is his favorite crying and beer drinking song that isn’t a C&W one...

I do like most of their music. No one can scream staccato like him. He is jackhammer fast.
Hey, I'm getting 2 blue eggs and one tan egg a day from my little pullets. I highly recommend these gals as very useful pets.

[Texan5]

That is so cool-as soon as I have my place where I can build a secure area for them I’m good to go.

I work 4 tens so Friday is off. Just got back from fishing with the g-kids. I am wore out. I would tell you about our fishing trip but it would sound like a mendacious exaggeration.

[tioga]

After 4 tens I would need a day of rest.

Women always try to do what they can and need to do.

Ted Cruz is accused of being mendacious.

So is hillary but she is just a common street variety liar

It is 59 and sunny now, but it was 35 this AM when I went off to deliver invoices. On the way home, I noticed that the yard at the vaca place is full of macho bikes and guys in leather-I can smell the testosterone from nearly a mile down the road...

It appears that this part of the road will be treated to a night of music, bike noise, drunken shouting and maybe a fight or two-I think I’ll sit on the deck for awhile this evening and be a voyeur-enjoy the music and eavesdrop on the chaos...
