SWEET shot did you take that, and right back at cha

I wish!  I got that off google images. 

In San Francisco, the first day of summer was Thursday. It was basically the first day to hit 80 degrees all summer long. Been very foggy and kinda cold, more so than usual

I saw folks wearing coats at the Merry Prankster show that Mr. Druba posted a few days ago.

We are having a nice stretch of clear-warm weather, summer is here for few more weeks, after a summer with muggy and not so many pretty days.

Most of the time kids on Long Island are in just T-shirts all the way through until Halloween.  New York is awesome around then. Such a special place.

But by November 7th, the party is over, the weather is unsettling on both "Mother Earth" & our bodies.

Some how its always serene on Thanksgiving.

God loves us ~

Rained a touch this morning but not really measurable. Maybe Druba knows offhand how long it's been since we had any real rain in W. OR. Supposed to be sunny and in the 70s for the next week or so. This is the good part of fall.

It rained in Eugene on Sept 10, snapping the old record dry spell of 83 days (1998),  the new record is now 84 days (2018)

We had lite morning showers, with random acts of Fall Festival here in Cornholio...  

Tomorrow going to funk it up with "Citizens of the Universe" from 3:30 to 5pm (Corvallis Fall Festival, OR) 

Got it. So its not like London at all.

Have fun at the funk concert, Mr Druba.

Seattle is more like London...  twice as many days with rain, but has half the annual amount!  

Meanwhile, Corvallis Fall Festival Schedule tomorrow (along with many arts / crafts, and good food, food profits go to local charities)

Looks real fun, for sure.

Did Craig Wright show up at the Prankster gig? i didn't see him in any of the photos.

I knew Craig & in 2004 / 2005 he wanted to have me try & book him into a club out east.

He's a full time English College Professor up there.

Yeah, he played (was in the pics)

Wow.Yes, I did see that one

He does not look healthy at all (14 years later).

I'll light a candle ~

Corvallis Fall Festival finished off quite nicely with "Citizens of the Universe" today, a nice mix of funk, african, soul, etc...

Now that's a cool looking band ^

Wow.

Most are old friends, great players, so cool to see them smoke out a set of tight grooves for the local family
