Lately, I keep thinking that Internet music is just too good to last.  At the same time, FM radio is a wasteland of the lamest music I have ever heard.  There is some kind of harmonic convergence happening with creativity and Internet music.   

Here is Basia Bulat just vibrating with technical talent and creativity:

    Now granite, I work with some people like that.  For the most part, they're good guys, and are generally pretty self defecating.

acyrologia
An incorrect use of words - particulately replacing one word with another word that sounds similar but has a diffident meaning - possibly fuelled by a deep seeded desire to sound more educated, witch results in an attempt to pawn off an incorrect word in place of a correct one.
In academia, such flaunting of common social morays is seen as almost sorted and might result in the offender becoming a piranha, in the Monday world, after all is set and done, such a miner era will often leave normal people unphased.
This is just as well sense people of that elk are unlikely to tow the line irregardless of any attempt to better educate them.
A small percentage, however, suffer from severe acyrologiaphobia, and it is their upmost desire to see English used properly.
Exposure may cause them symptoms that may resemble post -dramatic stress disorder and, eventually, descend into whole-scale outrage as they go star-craving mad.
Eventually, they will succumb to the stings and arrows of such a barrage, and suffer a complete metal breakdown, leaving them curled up in the feeble position.

Townsville will seem like it has gone through a time warp. Troop trains will be arriving, 1940s music playing, even Eleanor Roosevelt's visit to the town will be re-enacted. The Museum of Tropical Queensland will mount an exhibition of the actual battle.

Mrs. Roosevelt wishes to recognize the service of our Veterans (past and present) on this Veterans Day.

So did Eleanor take the train to Nevada and dedicate what is now known as area 51 ? ?

 

Hmmmm...That's an interesting question.

I have a friend down here who has a bright orange 71 Corvette.

 

That is a hardtop though......

Hi Ed:

Know what you are referring to with the hardtop on the early models.  Mine was a '57 and I had both tops, and it made it sound like a completely different car when the hardtop was installed...I had a small hoist in the garage to pull it off or hang there for brief time.  The car became more solid....like a coupe, instead of the feelings of a convertible.  Those were very nice hardtops.

Loved the car too.....

[edblysard]

Guy on the next block over has an old Vette…the one with the dual headlights and the removable hardtop…

That is a classic design, looks just as cool now as when it was new.

Looks fantastic with the hardtop on, one of the few removable hardtops that works right with the rest of the car!

The car is all original, motor, tranny and interior is just like it came from the factory, his dad bought it new, and he is the second owner.

Fire engine red with everything else chrome, you can hear him start it from the next block over, not loud, but powerful sounding, has that slight lope to the idle that tells you he keeps it tuned to run, and run fast.

Thanks Murray...it is a beauty.  I've had some beautiful pic's of it for some time now...Check my facebook...and articles in major auto magazines that I have subscriptions to.  It appears to me a very beautiful design....The best since the beginning of the Vet...Perticularly, the '57 model.  Thanks for a heads up re; the article.
