    Da bus just broke down. We need to fix the flat and flat the fix. My word scrambler is broken too, but there isn't a voice specialist anywhere near here. Ba dus! Ah, there it is. I just need to keep practicing. Plus, anyone got a spare radiator hose in their back pocket? It's not for the bus, the beer bong when out the window in Bendover, so I'm making a new one out of spare auto parts. The new one is going to get much better MPB (miles per beer).

Mine is pronounced either like "church" or "sharon." Chandra or Chandra. Both are valid, as long as it's "ah-ndra." How do you pronounce your name Devil's Friend?

"Hate Hate" the first is a verb the second a noun repeat. It is a wonderfully negatively positive thing to chant. or is it positively negative? *note* it should not be taught to children who have not passed the irony threshold, otherwise negativity might win. But to anyone with a touch of Irony, I find it to be an aggressively positive mantra. -- TH

(IMO) I don't see that anyone has been wronged here, and from my perspective you were acting with good intentions. But I was not involved with any part of the alleged agreement so I cannot speak for others who may have been involved. All I can say is you certainly haven't wronged me in any way and I hold no ill-will towards you. I can't speak for the whole group, but you are still welcome here as far as I am concerned. - your Mayor

wish I had some for lunch. For one summer, we had a lady who brought her outta-this-world homemade tamales to our local farmers market. I'd buy a dozen at a time, and be lucky to get half of them home without snarfin' 'em at the market. Then, *poof*. She disappeared, never to return. Most likely got an awesome catering gig, but my heart still yearns for her chicken tamales.

Just in from "Those Who Keep Track of Things Important" Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye! We are one month old today!!! Yes, on March 21st, our fearless founder and seeker of truth, TFont, announced our new Name: The Sunshine Daydreamers! Here's his email from that fateful morning: "GROUP NAME: Well gang, nearly and I mean nearly ALL of you voted and the final tabulations are in. Right now, you can break out your 1973 release of the late, great Jim Croce’s “I Got a Name” on 45 (shit, I’m guessing there are folks here who weren’t even born in ’73 and may need an explanation as to what a “45" is? lol…). Anyway, I digress…or as we like to say in the Dead vernacular, I’m a Ramblin’ - sorry, Rose. So the vote was cast wide and deep. Reflective of our coast-to-coast and sea to shining sea group. We had, incredibly, 20 creative names to pick from (thanks, again, to all of you for that). And while the voting did indicate a critical mass around a few prospective names, the one undisputed leader and the one that received the most #1 votes (there were no ties here) was………modest snare drum roll now over-dubbed to that Croce classic you have spinning in the background: SUNSHINE DAYDREAMERS \o/\o/\o/\o/\o/\o/\o/\o/ Lift a glass, stand in front of a mirror and sing a selfie-toast, "We are the Daydreamers and we are one month old. We Miss Jerry but we will get by, because we are friends and the music never stopped." Then tuurn and take a bow, for you are Someone Who Counts. Take care one and all! geopartymeister

Happy birthday, deeeaaaarrrrrr uuuuuuuuhhhhuuuuuhhhs, happy birthday to us! All I ate this morning was a hard-boiled egg. No cake, no other culinary delights--so unDaydreamer-like. Fueled by delicious coffee and yolk, lol. Oh, well, all in the name of shining sails and patching rails at work. See you all around our third anniversary and I hope the honeymoon never ends . . . .

Happy Birthday Anniversary and happy unbirthday to us all of the other days. We certainly have put a lot of mileage on this bus and by the time we "get there" we'll be experts (at being beginners). Today I'll have coffee before taking the wheel but the wheels know where we're going so... until then.... I'm trying to imagine post-CHI SD land. Silly? Where's my coffee.

No way, Stella - ain't happening. We'll always have and forever be the SD'ers. Next time Bobby in whatever iteration comes down here to So Fla, you're all invited down. Plenty of room at the ranch. No reservation needed. We'll be dancing amongst the palm trees in our flip-flops, SD T's and tin foil hats baby !! BTW, it's Taco Tuesday here - who's hungry?
