JSS: Keys or Sabbath?-- 66-- Cut the Grass?-- Drought

JSS--  Just Some Stuff.

1.  KEYS OR SABBATH--  Lyn Braemer and newscaster Mary Dixon have been talking a lot about this weekend's Lollapalooza show in Chicago on their morning show on WXRT and are planning to catch some of it.  Not me.  Evidently, fest-goers will have to choose between seeing Black Sabbath and the Black Keys.  Braemer says he would base the decision on whether or not you own a turntable.  That would be a good indicator.

I bought the very first Black Sabbath album back in the early 70s when you had to play it on a turntable.  I listened a lot to the El Camino CD by the Black Keys on my recent North Carolina trip.  I like both groups and I own about seven turntables and seven CD players.  What to do?  Well, I'm not going anyway so guess that's a moot question.


2.  66--  Always a good thing to hear that great old "Get Your Kicks on Route 66" song, which I did on Lyn Braemer's WXRT morning show yesterday at 7:57 AM. It was the Rolling Stones' version.


3.  CUT THE GRASS?--  Believe it or not, I believe the time has come for me to actually cut the yard, well, cut the weeds, which seem unaffected by the #4.  I did have to cut one small strip of the yard last weekend and that was the grass over one of our septic lines which was growing fine.

Well, at least I wasn't having to buy gas for the lawn tractor so the GRBs didn't get more of their beloved money.


4.  DROUGHT--  Just heard that over hald the counties in the whole country are under drought.  Here in Illinois, 98 of the 102 counties are classified as under drought conditions.  I can believe it.  We've greened up a little bit (see #3), but still having the stuff die.
