Actually, let's put it another way...

Saddam probably committed the best con job the world has ever, or probably will ever, see. He conned the experts in the intelligence agencies of the USA, France, Germany, Israel, and the UN experts.

The CBS thing is so small in comparison it's not even at the same radar resolution.

Another law that should be enforced is voter fraud. So many people vote in one state and then winter in another and vote a second time. This has got to STOP.

I'm with you in Fogland, lysie. But comparing the potential consequences of making the wrong judgement call is one avenue I'd pursue. I.E. ...Could we take a chance that the WMD reports were false???

Got Bennett back on....

GOOD MORNING EVERYBODY!! I'm back with high speed wireless internet, YAY! Yesterday we drove to a campground in KS City area that has the highspeed, boy is it great.

Last report from the festival: Friday and Saturday were a blur of activities as usual. Saw some excellent talent both on stage and off. Stayed up WAY too late playing music. As usual.

So what was the "magic moment" this year? In addition to the stage areas and campground jams another location that provides a good deal of "entertainment" especially at night, is the gravel road that runs through the campground, . People congregate under the street lights in walk-up jams, others walk the road to listen, dance, sing along or otherwise participate. The area often becomes street theatre with costumes etc. We saw a fellow carrying around a tuba (sans mouthpiece and keys) that was somehow attached to a banjo so that presumably the sound of the banjo came out of the tuba horn. He called it a "sousa-jo". Weird stuff. Usually the road holds little interest for me other than the amusement aspect because frankly, sometimes those who've imbibed a bit too much frequent the area.

Our friends have a 9 year old son who is learning to play fiddle. He knows one tune, Angelina Baker, that he played over and over and over all weekend and stumbles a bit on the timing especially the 2nd part. Matthew is a bit precocious and decided he would go stand on the side of the road Saturday night and play his tune. Soon he had a crowd of about two dozen people standing around watching him. He seemed completely unphased by the crowd and just kept fiddlin'. In fact he played the tune the best I'd heard him play it all weekend, especially when the crowd started clapping in time. Some were dancing.

Then somebody walked up and put a dollar in Matthew's case. And somebody else did. And another and another. Before he quit the kid had $18 he'd picked up on the Walnut Valley road. It was the funniest, most special moment of the weekend. Matt is now a bona fide Road Toad, LOLOLOL!!

Sunday morning brought the usual clink-clink-clink sound of camps being taken down. By early afternoon our friends were starting to head out for home. Hugs, kisses, warm wishes, promises to come again next year and tears quickly wiped away. The usual Sunday balance of sadness at parting to a weekend filled with fun and excitement. It was an especially good year at Walnut Valley.

Oh, thought I'd include that those who saw our young guitar-playing friend compete in the National Contest all said they thought he'd nailed his pieces. But, as so often happens in competitions, he didn't make the final cut. So, a good experience for him and one that may spur him to keep trying.

It's wonderful to be posting to you all and FReeping today. Not sure how long we will be in KC.

Prairie

Savage did not answer the guys question. He said he needed to think about it further. I would like to email him our ideas.

I've noticed Sandy Berger's absence, but have no idea what is up.

I need to get my day started. If somebody finds out where Berger is hiding, please let me know.

I feel as though I may be coming down with a cold. I have a Cold-eze in my mouth as I type.

Oh no. There is a bad flu going around down here. Knocks you out for about a wk. TKD kids have passed it around for about a month now. :(

Hope it works for you as well as it did for me...One bad thing about those lozenges...I wish they were sugar-free!

So I was careful to brush teeth often, those 2 days I used them continuously.

Last winter, I seemed to start a new pattern for catching colds....seems like this cold season, I'm continuing down the same road, so the Cold-Eze are an added weapon in my arsenal!! (To the echinacea...)

Now I remember...I swept the basement floor yesterday...lots of dust and cat/dog fur. I think I'll be fine.

Toby, where are you? I have noticed your morning absence.

There you are...

Two marching band situations to report..

Friday night game. Over 600 marchers on field. 2 bands. The director of guest (Solon) band was on Home (Hudson) band staff last year but let go when Levy did not pass.

FANTASTIC show. they coordinated the precision drills, the dance teams, flag teams. Music was outstanding.

Band Show in Massilon Sat... The host band killed all lights in stadium/stands. Every instrument & marching uniform in the Hoover band (numbering over 200) was lit.. each one was like a Christmas tree. They did a Movie sequence beginning with Star wars etc. about 15 minutes.

could never do this during game when most of people are wandering around & have little interest in half time show.
