Springlike weather is arriving late this year, but it's shaping up to be a long, hot summer for the Chicago Transit Authority.
CTA President Forrest Claypool and his team will manage two difficult projects that are already unpopular with many riders — the five-month shutdown of the Dan Ryan branch of the Red Line for track-replacement work starting in mid-May, and a new fare-payment system called Ventra that will go into effect for CTA and Pace riders sometime this summer, officials said.
CTA rider Ankit Patel has launched an online petition drive telling Claypool and Mayor Rahm Emanuel, "We don't want the new Ventra CTA system."
The petition states numerous reasons, including the 33 percent increase in the price, to $3 from the current $2.25, of a single-ride disposable rail ticket if riders choose not to use Ventra; and the slew of fees and service charges that accompany a prepaid MasterCard debit account that the CTA will offer many Ventra card customers.
The petition is at change.org/petitions/rahm-emanuel-forrest-claypool-cta-chicago-we-don-t-want-the-new-ventra-cta-system.
"I have been pretty irritated ever since I started hearing about the Ventra and what it entailed," Patel, 33, told Getting Around in an email interview.
Patel, a software engineer who lives in the city and said he rides the CTA every day, said the CTA should upgrade the current Chicago Card using the contactless technology in the Ventra card, without imposing "the hidden charges" linked to the controversial debit account. The debit account is optional and would be used for retail purchases, not CTA or Pace fares.
"I am a rookie when it comes to this (mounting a petition drive), but I know a lot of people don't like the Ventra initiative," Patel said. "At the end of the day, this deal, like every other Chicago deal, will go through. But the least we can do is express our disappointment."
"Disappointment" is a mild way to describe many CTA riders' feelings about Ventra and how CTA officials appear less than upfront in providing information about the new system, especially the fees linked to the debit account.
For instance, a $2.95 reload fee will be charged each time Ventra debit account customers add money to the account using a personal credit card. No fee will be charged when money is added to the separate transit account, officials said.
Claypool said it's purely riders' prerogative whether to open a debit account for retail purchases, after educating themselves on the fees that will be outlined in literature accompanying each card.
"It's totally up to the riders," Claypool said last week. "Everybody can make their choice as a consumer and what's in their best interests. This is one more option in the marketplace, like the debit card you already have in your wallet today."
In an email he sent to Claypool and Joseph Costello, executive director of the Regional Transportation Authority, Dane Tidwell of Chicago said Ventra seems to be set up to "push Chicago's low-income residents into a debit card that literally nickel-and-dimes them to death."
"Low-income families can't afford to have $20 to $100 sitting on a transit card that they can't use for food, rent, school supplies, etc. That's why they use the floppy cards to begin with," Tidwell said in the email also to Getting Around.
Chicagoan Jacquie Brave compared the Ventra deal, which effectively turns over CTA fare-collection duties to private-sector companies, to the unpopular parking-meter privatization that former Mayor Richard M. Daley pushed through the City Council.
"This is deja vu all over again," Brave said in an email to Getting Around, adding, "The Ventra deal smells just as rotten."
"I am appalled at the cavalier and deer-in-the-headlights attitude of Mr. Claypool, champion good guy. The chicanery and subterfuge that he now owns clearly identifies his cabal as making out like bandits too. Claypool can take off his good-guy cape now, but throwing it over the mud puddle will not keep him clean anymore," Brave said. "If Claypool says he did not read the small print in the Ventra contract, he should change his name to ClayFOOL."
Phil Collins, of Mundelein, who said he rides the CTA only about once a month, doesn't understand why the CTA is switching from a fare system that appears to work well to a completely new system that is costing the CTA $454 million to develop through contractor Cubic Transportation Systems Inc.
"The current cards are easy to use, and the prices are OK,'' Collins said in an email.
He and others wonder how $5 million in annual savings that the CTA projects will result by using Ventra — or $50 million saved over the 10-year operating life of the $454 million contract — is good for the CTA or its customers.
Claypool said the $50 million in savings is a conservative estimate. But more important, it would likely cost the CTA more than $454 million to build a new system from scratch, instead of contracting with low-bidder Cubic, he said.
The current CTA fare-card technology is becoming outmoded, Claypool said. Even though the Chicago Card functions well for many CTA riders, many need to replace their cards more than once because they fail. And next year, the manufacturer of the Chicago Card computer chip will stop producing the chips, Claypool said.
"We essentially would have to invest massive amounts of money to upgrade or rebuild the current system," Claypool said. "The savings is on build versus buy."
But the CTA faces the monumental burden of selling the public on the new fare-payment system because many riders can avoid Ventra entirely by using personal credit or debit cards outfitted with contactless radio-frequency technology.
Officials said no convenience fees or other charges would be incurred if a credit or debit card is used to pay transit fares or to load money or multiday transit passes onto a Ventra account.
Your Getting Around reporter has heard complaints about Ventra from just about every possible transit constituency. In the few months before the Ventra card goes on sale for $5 (with the $5 applied to transit fares if the card owner registers the card within 90 days), the CTA must build confidence and acceptance.
Senior citizens and disabled riders enrolled in the RTA's reduced-fare program won't have the option of adding a MasterCard debit account to their Ventra card, and that rubs some the wrong way.
Senior Eugene Wildman objects to the policy, regardless of whether he would want a debit account.
"On the face of it, not offering the prepaid debit card sounds discriminatory, even punitive," Wildman said in an email.

His argument is framed around the old 'Europe, yes or no' question, instead of the far more relevant question today of 'What kind of Europe do we want?' His argument is all about being 'pro' or 'anti' EU; about "Britain on its own", or going along with everything the EU does without criticism. He even goes into the old debate about whether British people have more in common with Americans or Europeans.
The notion of 'euroscepticism' is becoming more and more shaded all the time. It is no longer the case that those who reject further European integration are 'anti'-European or even anti-EU. As the EU gathers more and more capacity to act in more and more areas of our lives, it inevitably starts to pick up more and more critics. People are critical of the EU for all sorts of different and valid reasons.
Indeed critics of the EU these days come in many different shapes and sizes, and until the EU and its strongest supporters such as the CER start to acknowledge that, then the whole idea of the EU will move further and further away from the people until there is no way back.
The British people may well be the most 'eurosceptic' people in the EU (with some very close competition from the Austrians, Latvians and others), but that does not mean they reject the EU outright. The polls show that given a choice, the majority of British people want to remain in the EU, but are sceptical about the agenda for further integration and ever closer union. That is a healthy and legitimate position and should not be dismissed.
Grant argues that British euroscepticism is down to five things: history, geography, the economy, the social and cultural environment, and above all, it seems, the "eurosceptic" British media. He says: "the steady drip, drip, of anti-EU propaganda over many years, having permeated deep into Britain's political culture, has made a major contribution to the shift in British public opinion since the late 1980s: the country has become more eurosceptic."
In this sense the paper reads very much like the note leaked by the European Commission recently to the Irish press, which complained that the 'Eurosceptic' British media was behind the Irish no vote.
There is no doubt that all these things are part of the picture about why the EU is increasingly unpopular in the UK. But, just like the Commission's own communication strategy documents (as we've explored elsewhere) it totally ignores the possibility that, shock horror, people might have valid objections to the EU's policies, its method of decision-making, its approach. Maybe, just maybe, people are genuinely concerned about what is going wrong - on everything from trade to foreign policy to overregulation and poor accountability and transparency.
It is a very patronising argument.
It's patting heads and saying, "it's ok, you're only criticial of the EU because of your country's political and economic standing, its history and geography, and the lies peddled to you by the papers you read." It completely fails to take seriously the growing discontent with the EU, and it also gives the impression that criticism of the EU is unacceptable and intolerable, rather than a very healthy part of democracy.
Out of 6,000 words about why people are turning away from the EU, 480 in the CER paper discuss the failure of the EU to sign off its accounts for 14 years in a row, and the failing Common Agricultural Policy. Even this is qualified with: "The inability of the EU institutions to explain simply and clearly why they do what they do, and how EU policies and programmes help ordinary citizens, is legendary."
Only in passing, does it mention that many small businesses are 'eurosceptic' because they see the EU as a source of red tape, implying by the tone that this is an unjustified misperception. It's hard to think of a more valid reason why a business would be critical of an organisation it felt was costing it more to run.
Grant laments the fact that 'even' the "Pro-European" newspapers "still print much that criticises the EU". What good would the free press be if it didn't criticise government?
He complains that "The British media – and not just the tabloids, but also the BBC – like to portray Brussels as a story about epic battles, victories and defeats." But isn't this the way to get people to actually engage with the EU - which the Commission always says it wants to? As LSE Professor Simon Hix writes in his book 'What's wrong with the European Union and how to fix it', "until there is genuine political drama and intrigue in Brussels, TV and newspaper editors will have no incentive to cover EU politics".
At least the British media covers the issue of the EU to some degree. As a journalist from one of the main quality German papers recently reminded us, during the debate on the EU Constitution, several papers in the UK published summaries of the Constitution, something which would never happen in Germany, for instance. This, he said, shows that the media in the UK at least tries to shoulder its responsibility to inform the public. In contrast, coverage of EU affairs in European newspapers is paltry for the most part.
Yes, sometimes the papers do get it wrong. But it's not just the tabloids, as Grant claims. For example, several continue to constantly claim that the Lisbon Treaty would significantly increase the powers of national parliaments, even though this has been shown to be false by the Commons EU Scrutiny Committee, among others.
It's interesting that Grant has a go at "bold, striking and often inaccurate front pages" in the British press. Presumably he isn't referring to the "Pro-European" Independent, whose last bold and striking front page on the subject claimed that '50 reasons to love the EU' included "Europe has revolutionised British attitudes to food and cooking", "Britons now feel a lot less insular", "British restaurants now much more cosmopolitan" and, to finish: "Lists like this drive the Eurosceptics mad".
Yes, very accurate and professional journalism from the 'pro' EU media there.
Grant also claims that "the most eurosceptic newspapers – the ones which claim that Brussels bureaucrats exercise increasing power over Britain – do not bother to have full-time correspondents in Brussels". Again, presumably he isn't talking about the Independent, which also doesn't bother to send a correspondent, but which regularly writes favourably about the EU.
At the end of the essay, Grant admits that "even if the British people tend to be the most
eurosceptical, as the Eurobarometer surveys show, their views on the EU are less divergent from the rest of Europe than they used to be."
Surely this means the time is now riper than ever to have a more serious debate about the future of the EU and Britain's relationship with it? To stop dismissing people's concerns about the EU as simply the result of their entrenched historical, geographical, economic and social DNA and start to have a real debate about what kind of EU we want?
The paper boldly says: "The British are the last people in Europe to understand how the EU is changing." Maybe that is because they never get asked what they think. Research shows that referendums held on EU issues in countries like Ireland, Denmark, Norway, Switzerland makes them far more likely to answer questions about the EU correctly. If we want people to understand the EU, then it's time we had a proper debate.

Panic at Emirates reflected in ill-advised Cabaye bid
The panic has well and truly set in.
You can almost hear the alarm bells ringing at Arsenal from a mile off. The transfer window is closing in. Less than two weeks until it closes.
And, frankly, Yohan Cabaye is not what Arsenal need, in my humble opinion.
That's not to say he is not a good player. He is top-quality, classy, a proven international who has vision and is a good passer.
-Report: Newcastle reject Gunners bid
-Video: Cabaye out of opener
-Video: Time to spend money, Arsenal
Trouble is, Arsenal have got enough of those already. And quite apart from looking like a panic buy, this deal has danger written all over it.
Why? Because Arsenal, even with their new riches, cannot compete financially with the other interested club.
And furthermore, French international Cabaye, 27, would prefer to go to Paris Saint-Germain over Arsenal.
Arsenal have already had a bid of £10m turned down for Cabaye and the knock-on effect is more criticism of Arsene Wenger for being skinflint and afraid to pay the market value.
They have already had enough of that with Liverpool's criticism of Arsenal's tactics over Luis Suarez and their ill judged £40,000,001 bid which ended up alienating everyone and making any deal seemingly impossible.
Now they are at it again. If Arsenal really value Cabaye -- who joined Newcastle from Lille for £4.75m two years ago -- as a £10m player, then is he good enough to get in their team? Arguably not, at that price. Clearly, it's all about starting low and building up. But you also risk annoying the other club so much that they end up refusing to sell.
Arsenal will no doubt go back again with an improved bid and, for the sake of their reputation, cannot afford to miss out on another target after Suarez, Luiz Gustavo and Gonzalo Higuain. They will become a laughingstock.
The other worrying aspect to this deal is that Arsenal reportedly made their bid on Friday, after learning that Mikel Arteta would be out eight weeks.
In fairness, Arsenal did look at Cabaye in January and are long-term admirers. But going for a player after another gets injured smacks of a panic buy, which are often disastrous.
The really surprising part is most Arsenal fans would argue that what they really need is a midfield anchorman -- a big, physical presence to shield the back four.
The really noticeable thing about Aston Villa's 3-1 victory on Saturday -- apart from the fan unrest and almost open revolt -- was just how easy the visitors ploughed through Arsenal's nonexistent midfield.
Look at Gabby Agbonlahor and his run that led to Villa's first penalty. He ran from deep, unchallenged through the middle of the pitch and straight into the box, where he was upended by Arsenal keeper Wojciech Szczesny.
Arguably, Arteta would have stopped him if he were playing. Arteta has been superb for Arsenal, but he's not a classic midfield holding man. Far from it. He's more a No. 8. And they miss his presence from that role. In fact, he's rather wasted as a holding player.
Wenger's vision is to have three small, mobile passing midfielders who can play good football and pass their way through the opposition.
But the trouble is, they already have plenty. Jack Wilshere, Arteta, Aaron Ramsey, Tomas Rosicky, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Santi Cazorla. Even youngster Gedion Zelalem is coming through.
Cabaye would be a welcome addition. Would he get in ahead of Wilshere, Arteta or Cazorla? That's a fair question.
Arsenal need depth and quality, having off-loaded so many players and only signed rookie French striker Yaya Sanogo this summer.
But surely there are other priorities. A new keeper, defender, holding midfielder, wide man and top-quality striker.
Trying to sign Cabaye and, in the process, getting involved in another ugly transfer tug-of-war where they could miss out is probably the last thing they need.
Good player, but a bit of a bizarre choice with panic timing.

This column, and all of Dobber's work, can also be read on The Hockey News, ESPN.com and MSN.ca.
It is no secret that the power play is the most important element of offense in the playoffs. This makes the participants of the power play the most fantasy worthy in terms of playoff pools. Defensemen who quarterback the PP actually see their production rise by as much as 40 per cent. This makes moving them up your draft list a no-brainer. Today, FPL will take a look at the Western Conference quarterbacks. Wednesday I will take a look at the East. Anaheim
The Ducks are one of just two teams in the West with three solid options – four if you count Ric Jackman. It's hard to improve on nearly a point-per-game as a defenseman, so in the cases of Chris Pronger and Scott Niedermayer I would leave them right where they are on your draft list…that is, high. Francois Beauchemin is another matter, however. He has been hot down the stretch and with his low season totals he is bound to slip through to the later rounds. Expect a point for every two games from him. Jackman will likely not be a factor unless one of the above three rearguards get hurt.
Dion Phaneuf, as a rookie, had a horrible playoff debut last season. Do not expect that to be repeated this year. If the Flames go two rounds, expect at least eight or nine points from the youngster. Roman Hamrlik makes an excellent dark horse. He has 31 points in his last 49 games, which translates to six or seven points in two rounds of playoff action. All this, of course, is going on the assumption that the Flames get into the playoffs and although Colorado may have something to say about that, it's looking pretty good at this point.
The Stars have been a team all season long that has relied on their defense for offense. This will be magnified starting April 11. Sergei Zubov and Philippe Boucher have, on several occasions, led this team in scoring. Both players are capable of 15 points if Dallas goes three rounds.
There are no surprises here. The more games this team plays in the postseason, the more points Nik Lidstrom and Matt Schneider will get for you. These are two of the best, in terms of offensive blueliners. Both men are capable of tallying a point per game over a short 10- or 15-game span. Youngster Nik Kronwall was starting to have a decent season offensively before he was injured on Friday and will be out for what looks like the first three rounds.
The Wild do not have a defenseman amongst their top nine scorers. This opens the door wide for a dark horse. Kim Johnsson is the obvious choice, but Brent Burns has 18 points in his last 40 games. I like Burns here as the guy who will step up and post more than a point for every two postseason contests. Other candidates: Petteri Nummelin has talent, but is a risk in that he is a healthy scratch quite often. Ditto for Kurtis Foster.
The other western team with four options, the Preds can look to Marek Zidlicky, Kimmo Timonen, Ryan Suter, or Shea Weber. Suter is probably a little young to be considered a possible dark horse, so focus on the other three. Zidlicky has had several long cold spells this season. He could be the player you choose that gets you zero points in 10 games. He could also be the savior of your team, tallying 15 points during a run the Stanley Cup Final. Timonen and Weber are the safe bets.
San Jose
While rookie Matt Carle is head and shoulders above the other picks here, don't count out the likes of Christian Ehrhoff, rookie Marc-Edouard Vlasic, or Craig Rivet. All three of these players have been hot down the stretch and any one of them could have a dozen points in the postseason. Rivet has eight points in 14 games in a San Jose uniform.
Kevin Bieksa all the way. If the Canucks play 15 games this postseason, Bieksa will get 12 points. Do not take a chance on Sami Salo – his groin injury is too high a risk. Matthias Ohlund is as steady as it gets and will do what you would expect. It is Bieksa, however, that runs the power play and he will shoulder most of the offense from the back end.

"The Lying Game" follows Emma, a kind-hearted foster kid who learns she has an identical twin sister, Sutton. Sutton, unlike Emma, was adopted by wealthy parents and is seemingly living an ideal life. After their initial meeting, Sutton talks Emma into stepping into her life for a few days while she pursues a lead on the mysterious identity of their birth mother. After Sutton inexplicably fails to return to the girls' designated meeting place, Emma must decide whether to come clean about her identity and risk her own safety in the hope of uncovering her twin sister's whereabouts, along with the truth about why they were separated in the first place.
The show airs Mondays at 9 PM EST on ABC Family. (I did look but if I overlooked an existing thread for this, let me know and I'll merge them. Thanks!)

Shari lumbered into the infirmary several paces after Kai, bitterly picking at a pottery shard lodged in her left hand. The whole ordeal had gone down whilst the monk was fetching food for herself and her ninja companion, but she'd crushed the bowls in a fit of irrepressible rage upon watching what Qing had done. She was still too angry to even attempt comforting Yoko, just staying in the background and doing little other than offer support by simply being there.
A few minutes and a single rather forced smile later, Shari pelted the freed splinter to the floor. She then made a jerky lean towards Yaunjun that was probably supposed to be subtle, but came across as extremely agitated instead. "I know you probably don't need me to tell you this, but..." Her whisper was hoarse like a weapon in itself. "If you get the chance, please kill that fucking inbred bitch. I'm past caring who does it."

"Oxygen is the backdrop on which this story is playing out on, but really, this is a tale of the evolution of this very intense metabolism that happened once—an evolutionary singularity that transformed the planet," says Woodward Fischer, assistant professor of geobiology at Caltech and a coauthor of the study. "We've provided insight into how the evolution of one of these remarkable molecular machines led up to the oxidation of our planet's atmosphere, and now we're going to follow up on all angles of our findings."
"Water-oxidizing or water-splitting photosynthesis was invented by cyanobacteria approximately 2.4 billion years ago and then borrowed by other groups of organisms thereafter," explains Fischer. "Algae borrowed this photosynthetic system from cyanobacteria, and plants are just a group of algae that took photosynthesis on land, so we think with this finding we're looking at the inception of the molecular machinery that would give rise to oxygen."
The findings, outlined in the June 24 early edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), strongly support the idea that manganese oxidation—which, despite the name, is a chemical reaction that does not have to involve oxygen—provided an evolutionary stepping-stone for the development of water-oxidizing photosynthesis in cyanobacteria.

John & Michele in the Morning
After 15 years, we're down to the last week. July 12, 2013 will be the last show for John & Michele in the Morning. There's nothing scandalous to report...sorry!
John will continue his reign as Springfield's morning show king, but he'll just be doing it with someone new.
Michele is moving on to a new phase of her career in the radio business. She'll still be in Springfield and still with Neuhoff Media, however instead of being on the air she's going to be focusing on all things digital. It's been a great 15 years, and John & Michele plan to spend this last week reminiscing with guests and playing some of the best moments of the past.
Michele would LOVE to hear from you this week. Write on the

Just Days In, and the New "Idol" Judges Are Already Denying Feud
There have only been a couple of days of auditions with the four new "American Idol" judges, but rumors are already swirling that there's a feud between Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj. They both deny the rumors. Carey wondered to reporters how they could be fighting after only two days saying, "I think feud takes a little longer to spread out." Minaj agreed saying, "We're getting along wonderfully, darling." Third judge Randy Jackson said the judges are having a good time. No word from fourth judge, Keith Urban.
25th Season of "Survivor" Starts Tonight
Another set of castaways get starting playing for a million dollars tonight on CBS. "Survivor: Philippines" will feature a few familiar faces.

There are also three former players returning after having their season cut short due to medical emergency. The special 90-minute premiere starts at 7pm.
Lindsay Lohan Arrested for Hit & Run
More trouble for Lindsay Lohan. TMZ reports the actress was parking her Porsche in downtown New York City when she hit the knee of a man standing nearby. Then one of her passengers got out of the car to check for damage and the group went into the Dream Hotel. Someone called police and when Lohan came out of the hotel about 1:30am our time, officers arrested her for leaving the scene of an accident.

The Toyota Radiator is a critical part of your Toyota's cooling system and when working properly will keep your Toyota's temperature regulated through whatever demands are placed on it. Your Toyota is a high quality and durable vehicle, and you can count on all its parts being made with the same level of quality and durability. You can expect your Radiator to last and perform reliably for years. However, if your Toyota's Radiator should be damaged or deteriorate because of rust or corrosion due to the wet environment inside the radiator, make sure you install only high quality and durable parts on your Toyota, to complement these qualities. You chose a Toyota because of these same qualities of high quality and long-lasting reliability, in addition to classic good looks, and you do not want to compromise these attributes by installing any lesser quality parts. You especially do not want to compromise on a part as important as your Radiator, as if your Radiator is not working properly your Toyota could overheat, not only leaving you stranded by the side of the road, but potentially even causing damage to your engine. Definitely a situation to be avoided. Choose a manufacturer whose focus is on high quality and durability, to enhance and maximize these qualities in your Toyota. In addition, select a manufacturer who has experience making parts for Toyotas specifically, to ensure correct fit and function. Auto Parts Network (APN), has a wide selection of quality Toyota Radiators.

I read a bio of him called Teenage Idol-Travelin Man.
His last years were pretty sad also.
Eric Hilliard "Ricky" Nelson was born on May 8, 1940, in Teaneck, New Jersey. He was the second son of Ozzie Nelson, the leader of a big band, and Harriet Hilliard Nelson, the band's singer. Ricky was the wise-cracking younger sibling in the long-running television series "Ozzie and Harriet," which ran on radio and TV from 1944-1966. Along with older brother David, the family was a huge hit on television. But little could anyone imagine in the early days what fate had in store for Ricky.
As the story goes, Ricky was dating a girl who was an Elvis Presley fan, when Ricky remarked to her that he, too, could sing. The girl laughed at him, and so to impress her, Nelson found a drug store recording booth and recorded a song he had written, "I'm Walkin'."
"My dad was kind of shy, because he knew that anything he said or did around the house might end up as an episode on the show," said Ricky Nelson's son, Matthew. "Singing was his way of expressing himself without anyone knowing about it. He would sit in the closet in his room and sing his songs, and after he recorded "I'm Walkin' " he would only listen to it in there.
"But then my grandfather happened to hear him playing it one day, and asked him 'Who is that?' My dad said 'Well, it's me, Pop.' My grandfather thought it would make a great episode, and so he had dad sing it at the end of one of the shows."
That was in 1957, and suddenly Ricky Nelson was on his way to becoming the first real American teen idol.
"Ozzie was smart enough to cut a deal with Verve Records after that, and the song sold a million copies in a week," Matthew said. "It was a phenomenon. What some people don't realize, though, is that my dad was so serious about his music. There were no such things as producers or agents then, young singers had to produce themselves. And he knew what he was doing."
From 1957 to 1962, Nelson had 30 top-40 hits, more than any other artist at the time except Elvis. Many of Nelson's early records were double hits, with both the A side and the B side hitting the billboard charts.
While Nelson preferred "Rockabilly" and uptempo rock songs like "Hello Mary Lou." "It's Late," "Stood Up," and "Be-Bop Baby," his smooth, calm voice made him a natural to sing ballads. He had major success with "Travelin' Man," "Poor Little Fool," "Young World," "Lonesome Town," and "Teenage Idol," which clearly could have been about Ricky himself at the time. The 1964 hit "For You" would be his last top 40 song until 1970, when he recorded Bob Dylan's "She Belongs To Me" with the Stone Canyon Band. In 1972, he would hit the top 40 one last time with "Garden Party," a song he wrote in disgust after a Madison Square Garden audience booed him when he tried playing new songs instead of his old hits from the 1950s and '60s.
Rick Nelson also had his demons. By the late 1970s, he had gone through divorce, he wasn't making records, and his live appearances were infrequent. According to many sources he began using drugs, primarily marijuana.
But in 1985, he joined a nostalgia rock tour of England, and the resulting success revived interest in his music. He had just begun an American revival tour when he died in a plane crash in De Kalb, Texas on New Year's Eve, 1985. He was on his way to a concert in Dallas. The last song he sang on stage was Buddy Holly's "Rave On."
"One of the songs I remember most is "Easy To Be Free," Matthew said. "It was a mid-chart success, and most people don't know it. It's very Dylanesque - Bob Dylan and dad were good friends - and when I play it, I can see what it does to an audience. For a long time it was something I just kept for myself, and never played in public. I sang it at his memorial service, and it's something that makes me miss him a lot less.
"It's been 20 years; I can't believe that it's been so long since he's been gone," Matthew said. "I was 18 when he passed away, and dad was my best friend. We bonded through music, and every time I play I feel that we're closer still."
I read a bio of him called Teenage Idol-Travelin Man.
His last years were pretty sad also.
I love watching the old "Ozzie And Harriet" shows have a bunch on DVD. The show is very very simple and I like that. It is not deep in any way shape or form. Just fun.
Ricky is also one of my favorite Elvis contemporary singers. He has the look of a typical all american boy pack with talent.
"The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet" Ricky Nelson and his older brother David were on the show as -their kids. They literally grew up on tv and its some great family entertainment. But I have to warn you many find it- corny.
I'm right at home in corny. After Rick began his singing career he sang many times on the show(worked into the plot of course)
Are there any pics of Elvis and Ricky together?
Thanks, for posting Jen!
I always felt that Ricky was a more tortured soul than Elvis was even. He was a nice looking man, had an interesting singing voice, not the quality of Elvis for sure, but pleasant. I don't remember him with much of a sense of humor.
Yes that is sad KPM to die just when you are getting your head back together again.
Even Johnny Cash was disappointed with the country music scene at some time. It's not due to a lack of quality or anything like that, it's simply because of corruption. Johnny was happy to find this guy named Rick Rubin and was able to keep on doing his thing, without minding the corpocracy too much. It still takes stinging-nettle,- or cactus kind of character to keep your artistic independence. I think Elvis would have been happiest doing the songs he loved the most without minding hit-potential too much, had he lived. His name would still have drawn an audience, although it wouldn't be like 1956, of course.

I was not trying to point out the size of one's shows.
What I did mean to point out is that Elvis still would have drawn a large crowd, but I do think the 'shape' or content of a concert by a 72 yo Elvis would have been different from that of a 21 or 22 yo Elvis, had he lived. That's because people age and develop.
Elvis' 70's were more about live shows rather than hit potential, though some records did pretty well. I do think Elvis would have been unhappy just chasing hit potential.

Yes I think 76 and 77 he was not worried about hits, he sang best what he felt. The few songs which truely meant something to him were the ones he did best.
"Rick tore into a procession of his old hits, some, like "Poor Little Fool" and "Lonesome Town," worked up especially for the occasion, feeding the Garden crowd the pure nostalgia they came to hear. But when Rick took off his gutiar and stepped to the piano for the next-to-last tune of his twelve-song set, an incident took place in the remote seats of the far upper balcony that changed the tone of the evening for him and the band.
The cheap seating sections near the rafters, painted blue and referred to as blue heaven, were a notorius nesting place of rowdies looking to raise hell at hockey matches, basketball games, and rock ocncerts. The security guards chose this moment to clear an entire section of drunken fans in these rear seats, and the crowd raised a lusty roar at the police action. These boos coincided with Rick's sitting down at the piano to play, "Honky Tonk Women," a number from his "Rudy The Fifth" album and a recent hit by the Rolling Stones. Some of the people down front took the balcony booing as a cue to express displeasure at this departure from a rigid oldies program and picked up the boos. "There is no such thing as a quiet boo," said (Ralph) Nader.
Rick came offstage shaken. "It was shivering," said Kemp, all these people booing. We were all upset. Rick kept saying, 'I knew we shouldn't have done it.'" A few minutes later, a security guard came into the dressing room and explained the real reason for the booing, and the mood in the band room changed to a relieved giddiness.
About six months later, a song jelled in Rick's head. He stayed up all night finishing it. "I ended up writing it on one piece of paper," said Rick. "I didn't want to get up. It just started happening. I really heard the instrumentation exactly as I wanted it to sound and, at the end, I had a Carl Perkins-type ending on it. It was all just there."
"I remember falling asleep listening to Pop play the piano," Rick's daughter, Tracy, recalled, "cause the music room was right below me. And one morning I went downstairs to go to school at about seven, and I knocked on the door. It took a while for him to answer. I said, 'What are you doing, Pop?" He said, 'I got up about three in the morning and I've been writing this song, "Garden Party," and I've been writing all night. I haven't been able to stop. I just felt compelled to write it." Later on we used this as an example of what it means to be an artist. Sometimes things just come through you. He said that night he felt he was given a gift. The music just came through him.
In May 1972 Rick and the band went into the studio to record "Garden Party" and a few other songs. He got the band members to agreee to stick to the story about what had happened that night at the Garden. No mention would be made of the police clearing out drunken fans to ruin the drama of the story. Rick knew he had something. He insisted the record company release the cut as a single immediately. Decca Records had been merged with other labels into a conglomerate called MCA Records, and undoubtedly many of the new company's executives didn't even know they had Rick Nelson under contract. The record wouldn't have gone anywhere without some extraordinary cooperation from the record label. His cousin Willy Nelson now managed him. Willy Nelson, son of Ozzie's older brother, Al, had been a singer himself and also had been part of a vocal group that appeared on TV's "Shindig" called the Shindogs. He also worked in management with Del Shannon and Brian Hyland.
Cousin Willy went to meet with Rich Frio, vice president in charge of marketing at MCA, to discuss the single. "He poured out his heart to me," said Frio, "what Rick's feelings really were, what the record meant. It put everything in perspective for me. I was in a very powerful position at the company. While Willy sat there, I put together a conference call with all thirty of my promition men. I told them I was going to go to lunch with Willy Nelson at the Universal commissary, and when I got back from lunch, I wanted them each logging in with at least one radio station. Lo and behold, when I got back, the calls were coming in."
What Frio put in motion didn't stop until the single of "Garden Party" climbed all the way to number six on the charts. It was one of the most unprecedented comeback hits in the history of rock music."
(The rest of the details are pretty graphic so I will not post them here...and I apologize if I got carried away and posted too much information...all I will say is that Selvin's book says that the remains of the passengers were burned so badly that identification had to be made through dental records and it took two hours for the fire department to stop the flames and even then it took nearly ten hours for the plane to cool down long enough for the victims to be removed)."The flight went quietly. Rich and Helen (Blair) curled up on opposite benches and slept in the rear of the cabin. The other band members either dozed or rested quietly under blankets. Bobby Neal joined copilot Ken Ferguson in the cockpit for a while, as pilot Rank ambled through the passenger cabin, talking with Pat Woodward about commercial flights from Dallas to Los Angeles since Woodward had recently moved to Dallas and would be staying behind for a couple of weeks after the New Year's gig.
About three hours into the flight, Rick complained to Rank about being cold, and Rank told his copilot toturn on the heater. After a number of unsuccessful attempts to make the heater work from the cockpit, Rank went back into the aft of the cabin to try to make the heater work.
"He signaled for me to turn it on or he came up front and told to turn it on or whatever," Ferguson later testified. "This happened several times. One of the times I refused to turn it on. I was getting nervous. I didn't think we should be messing with the heater en route. I had discussed this with him on previous flights. He turned it on again." Pat Woodward came into the cockpit. "There is smoke in the cabin," he told Ferguson.
Rank later said he went back to the cabin and noticed some smoke curling around where Rich and Helen were asleep. He went back to investigate the heater and found it cool to his touch. He nevertheless activated one of the built-in fire extinguishers and opened fres-air inlets on his way back through the cabin. Woodward helped him. Rick and Helen woke up startled to see wisps of smoke filling the plane.
Ferguson was already on the radio, beginning communications with Forth Worth and changing the palne's direction to reroute it to Texarkana airport. Rank resumed his seat behind the controls , and the two began to make preparations for landing.
In less than a minute, the "little problem" Ferguson mentioned to the Forth Worth tower turned into catastrophe. Black smoke boiled into the cockpit. The control panel was no longer visible, and they were choking and gagging on the smoke. The front window was stained. Rank broke out his side window and leaned out so he could see. Ferguson broke out his, and the open window acted like a chimney, drawing flames around him. He stuck his body out the window, to close down the chimney effect, and burned his hand while reaching for the lever that controlled the flaps. They began looking for an open space to make an emergency landing. Texarkana was out of the question.
Smoke in the cabin was so thick that Rank could no longer see his copilot. He saw a highway but discarded the idea of trying a landing there because there were ditches and power lines on both sides. He found the Joneses' cow pasture and brought the airplane down on the field, clipping phone wires as he flew over Debbie Potters house and made a nearly perfect three-point landing. It all happened so fast, nobody had time to react on anything more than instinct. Less than four minutes after first advising Forth Worth they were in difficulty, the plane rolled to a crashing halt in a patch of trees at the far side of the field. Rank climed out of his window. Inside the plane all he could see was flames and black smoke.
Ferguson tumbled head-first out of his side and staggered away from the plane, afraid of an explosion. Badly burned and dazed by shock, he was sitting in the field when Rank ran up to him. "Dont say anything about the heather," Rank said. "Don't say anything about the heater."
The bodies of road manager Clark Russell and Bobby Neal were located in the compainionway between the cockpit and the cabin. Rick and Helen were found together a few feet behind with Pat Woodward nearby Andy Chapin and Ricky Intveld lay slighty forward of mid-cabin.
Sadly, there are no pics of Elvis and Rick together.....

Rick had tasted the success in the 50s and wanted it again pure and simple. He wanted to be taken serious for his songwriting talents and he did have talent IMO. But after "Garden Party" he really just never got on track with a direction for his music. He hated the Ricky Nelson image-Rick Nelson is who he wanted to be. Its understandable- the conflict in that.
I like this guy......that's all i have to say
Jen, thanks for the article

A Tribute to The Tiger of Jelutong:
Legacy of the 'Tiger of Jelutong' will endure
by Aimee Gulliver @www.malaysiakini.com
- Cowards die many times before their deaths;
The valiant never taste of death but once.
Of all the wonders that I yet have heard,
It seems to me most strange that men should fear;
Seeing that death, a necessary end,
Will come when it will come.
- Julius Caesar Act II, scene 2, line 33.
Karpal Singh's story may have come to an abrupt end this morning, but the author of his biography says the legacy of the 'Tiger of Jelutong' will endure in Malaysia, where he was a warrior in the fight for equality and justice.
New Zealand journalist Tim Donoghue first met Karpal in Penang in 1987 and spent nearly 30 years researching the biography he wrote on the fearless lawyer and advocate, titled "Karpal Singh – Tiger of Jelutong", which was published in 2013.
"I've done a few things in journalism, but I'm particularly proud of that because this man was the ultimate scrapper, but he had a sense of humour," Donoghue said.
"The things he had to deal with, the life and death issues that he had to deal with, he smiled his way through them all, and he helped a lot of people out along the way. There was always that great twinkle in his eyes, and you just knew that no matter what anyone was ever going to throw at that guy, he was never going to kow-tow to any man."
Karpal and his aide Michael Cornelius Selvam Vellu, 39, were killed in a road accident about 1.10 this morning near Kampar in Perak. The former DAP chairperson's sudden departure has shocked the nation, and elicated a flood of eulogies from both sides of the political divide.
His death comes as the 74-year-old was gearing up to appeal his recent conviction for sedition that was cross-appealed by the government, which is seeking have the wheelchair-bound politician jailed.
"I don't think the legal system has brought any great credit upon itself by convicting this man of sedition."I think that is something that those in the ruling political and legal establishment of Malaysia do need to think about.", Donoghue said.
The government's persecution of the man who stood up and fought for human rights in Malaysia had made a martyr out of him, Donoghue said.
"Now that Karpal has gone to his death under threat of imprisonment for this sedition charge, I think he will be a great rallying point come the next election – there will be a huge groundswell of support among the opposition parties in the country."
A long line of challenges
Karpal's conviction for sedition was just the latest in a long line of challenges for the "Sikh warrior in legal attire". "Back when he was 65, after the car accident, most people said he was gone. Even his best friends, with the best intentions in the world, were saying it would have been a far more merciful end if he had died at that time."
"But the Tiger of Jelutong had a message for those who doubted him.
"He suffered a huge amount of pain as a result of that accident, but he vowed, with the help of his family, to get back out there into the realm of both politics and the law in Malaysia and to keep challenging those in power."
"Karpal continued his work, and some of his most notable achievements came in the years following his debilitating accident", Donoghue said.
"After his car accident, his life was totally shattered. But I do think he did his best work, both in the law and in politics, in the seven or eight years that he had after his accident. He did some amazing things in his life. "He would say to me, 'retirement is not a word in my dictionary'. And the reason I think he hung on was as a result of the pain he suffered because of that accident."
Donoghue said the manner of Karpal's death could be considered a merciful release in some ways, but his family would not agree.
Backed by family, every step of the way
"Every step of the way they backed him, they fought with him, and they lifted and laid him. They fought to keep him going." It was with the support of his family, and his devoted assistant Michael Cornelius Selvam Vellu, 39, who was also killed in this morning's accident, that Karpal was able to continue his work after the 2005 accident.
"Michael gave his life for this man. He worked around the clock, 24 hours a day, just to support Karpal, and the whole family is very, very, grateful for the job he has done.
"Everything Karpal has done in the last few years has been with the support of (his wife) Gurmit Kaur and Michael. They've kept him going, really."
When he came to Malaysia to launch Karpal's biography in 2013, Donoghue said he could tell Karpal was extremely proud of what he had achieved in his life.
"Basically, his legacy is one of uncompromising challenge to human rights on a number of fronts throughout his 40-plus years in legal practice.
"I suppose what endeared him to me was he challenged, he challenged, he challenged – and he did it in such a way that everybody enjoyed the trip."
Although he was an eminently patient man, Donoghue said, Karpal would occasionally get frustrated with him, and ask when the book would be completed.
"I would tell him we would finish when he gave me an ending. We had the final ending this morning, and I think Karpal Singh will go down as one of the great warriors of the Malaysian legal and political fraternities."
"He was a man who, as long as he had breath going into his lungs, was always going to fight. And in the wake of this man's life, the fight will go on in Malaysia."

April Daring Cook's Challenge: A fresh and CSA style take on Brunswick stew
We were supposed to be camping this week, but the rain and a great deal in Tahoe forced us to the snow. I am not a cold weather person, but the boys were so excited I couldn't deny them! So I am here with 10,000 layers of clothes, and actually having fun. And as a bonus, the weather actually fit this month's Daring Cook's challenge - Brunswick stew.
The 2010 April Daring Cooks challenge was hosted by Wolf of Wolf's Den. She chose to challenge Daring Cooks to make Brunswick Stew. Wolf chose recipes for her challenge from The Lee Bros. Southern Cookbook by Matt Lee and Ted Lee, and from the Callaway, Virginia Ruritan Club.
This is a southern long cooked stew, traditionally with rabbit and chicken I am told, with a nice bacon-y base. However, we are cooking away from our kitchen, and therefore have very limited resources. Also, we schlepped our bag of CSA veggies with us so it wouldn't go to waste. I didn't want to buy a bunch of veggies, so we used what we had. The exception was the butterbeans or lima beans which seemed to be an integral part of the stew, but alas the store here didn't have lima beans. They had frozen turnip greens and no lima beans. How odd is that?
The result with all of our substitutions : edamame for butterbeans, all chicken instead of rabbit, and turnips for potatoes: was a lovely bacon scented chicken stew with a fresh light flavor. It was a nice dish for a wintery spring break.
Recipe One, the Long Way-
From "The Lee Bros. Southern Cookbook: Stories and Recipes for Southerners and Would-Be Southerners" by Matt Lee and Ted Lee
Serves about 12 (I cut the recipe to about 1/3)
1/4 lb / 113.88 grams / 4 oz slab bacon, rough diced
2 Serrano, Thai or other dried red chiles, stems trimmed, sliced, seeded, flattened
1lb / 455.52 grams / 16oz rabbit, quartered, skinned
1 4-5lb / 1822.08- 2277.6 grams / 64-80oz chicken, quartered, skinned, and most of the fat removed
1 Tablespoon / 14.235 grams / ½ oz sea salt for seasoning, plus extra to taste
2-3 quarts / 8-12 cups / 64.607-96.9oz chicken broth
2 Bay leaves
2 large celery stalks
2lbs / 911.04 grams / 32oz Yukon Gold potatoes, or other waxy type potatoes, peeled, rough diced
1 ½ cups / 344.88 grams / 12.114oz carrots (about 5 small carrots), chopped
3 ½ / 804.72 grams / 28.266oz cups onion (about 4 medium onions) chopped
2 cups / 459.84 grams / 16.152oz fresh corn kernels, cut from the cob (about 4 ears)
3 cups / 689.76 grams / 24.228oz butterbeans, preferably fresh (1 ¼ lbs) or defrosted frozen
1 35oz can / 996.45 grams / 4 cups whole, peeled tomatoes, drained
¼ cup / 57.48 grams / 2.019 oz red wine vinegar
Juice of 2 lemons
Tabasco sauce to taste
Recipe 1-
1-In the largest stockpot you have, which is hopefully larger than the 5 qt ones I have, preferably a 10-12 qt or even a Dutch Oven if you're lucky enough to have one, fry the bacon over medium-high heat until it just starts to crisp. Transfer to a large bowl, and set aside. Reserve most of the bacon fat in your pan, and with the pan on the burner, add in the chiles. Toast the chiles until they just start to smell good, or make your nose tingle, about a minute tops. Remove to bowl with the bacon.
2- Season liberally both sides of the rabbit and chicken pieces with sea salt and pepper. Place the rabbit pieces in the pot and sear off all sides possible. You just want to brown them, not cook them completely. Remove to bowl with bacon and chiles, add more bacon fat if needed, or olive oil, or other oil of your choice, then add in chicken pieces, again, browning all sides nicely. Remember not to crowd your pieces, especially if you have a narrow bottomed pot. Put the chicken in the bowl with the bacon, chiles and rabbit. Set it aside.
3- Add 2 cups of your chicken broth or stock, if you prefer, to the pan and basically deglaze the4 pan, making sure to get all the goodness cooked onto the bottom. The stock will become a nice rich dark color and start smelling good. Bring it up to a boil and let it boil away until reduced by at least half. Add your remaining stock, the bay leaves, celery, potatoes, chicken, rabbit, bacon, chiles and any liquid that may have gathered at the bottom of the bowl they were resting in. Bring the pot back up to a low boil/high simmer, over medium/high heat. Reduce heat to low and cover, remember to stir every 15 minutes, give or take, to thoroughly meld the flavors. Simmer, on low, for approximately 1 ½ hours. Supposedly, the stock may become a yellow tinge with pieces of chicken or rabbit floating up, the celery will be very limp, as will the chiles. Taste the stock, according to the recipe, it "should taste like the best chicken soup you've ever had".
4- With a pair of tongs, remove the chicken and rabbit pieces to a colander over the bowl you used earlier. Be careful, as by this time, the meats will be very tender and may start falling apart. Remove the bay leaf, celery, chiles, bacon and discard.5 After you've allowed the meat to cool enough to handle, carefully remove all the meat from the bones, shredding it as you go. Return the meat to the pot, throwing away the bones. Add in your carrots, and stir gently, allowing it to come back to a slow simmer. Simmer gently, uncovered, for at least 25 minutes, or until the carrots have started to soften.
5- Add in your onion, butterbeans, corn and tomatoes. As you add the tomatoes, crush them up, be careful not to pull a me, and squirt juice straight up into the air, requiring cleaning of the entire stove. Simmer for another 30 minutes, stirring every so often until the stew has reduced slightly, and onions, corn and butterbeans are tender. Remove from heat and add in vinegar, lemon juice, stir to blend in well. Season to taste with sea salt, pepper, and Tabasco sauce if desired.
6 You can either serve immediately or refrigerate for 24 hours, which makes the flavors meld more and makes the overall stew even better. Serve hot, either on its own, or with a side of corn bread, over steamed white rice, with any braised greens as a side.

Wow great substitution of edamame for the beans. Your stew looks delicious!ReplyDelete
Great job on your stew and I love the change you've made. Pictures are awesome as well.ReplyDelete
The edamame look really great in the stew! I'm sure they tasted fantastic, too!ReplyDelete
The edamame look like an awesome sub for the butter/lima beans (which seem to be either hard to find or hard to like), and as much as I loved the stew I think the hit of green must have made it even better.ReplyDelete
Your version looks wonderful.

Swiss Bank Account For Your Personal Data to Counter Spying?
NEW YORK ( MainStreet) When computer specialist and former CIA employee Edward Snowden blew the whistle on NSA's mass surveillance techniques, controversy escalated around the world. Whether Snowden was a hero or a traitor divided public opinion. Whatever our feelings are about the whistleblower, his revelations have created an almost paranoid concern that our digital exploits are being watched.
Since the NSA documents were leaked in June this year, a string of spying scandals have surfaced, including that the agency spied on the cellphone of German Chancellor Angela Merkel. According to a recent survey following the NSA revelations, Germans' opinion of their long-term ally have plunged as mistrust in the United States soared - a sentiment that is felt around much of the world.
Snowden, alongside his journalist sidekick Glen Greenwald may have taken it upon themselves to unravel to the world the truth and many may be asking, if it wasn't for Snowden and Greenwald, who would protect our civil liberties? The Switzerland-based telco Swisscom claims to have the answer.
An alternative to the U.S. techno giants
As the spying storm shows no sign of settling, Swisscom has been busy building a means to loosen the grip of the U.S. technology giants. Instead of operating on-site, cloud computing enables businesses to utilise services such as business software and email remotely. Not only does this cost cuts but it also gives IT departments greater flexibility. However, in the wake of the scandal that NSA has been gathering private data from U.S. tech giants such as Google, Facebook and Apple, concern has surfaced that the privacy of cloud services can be compromised. With such pressing anxieties being at the vanguard of company issues, a niche has certainly opened for alternative technology providers that are more sensitive to protecting user data.
Swisscom is pioneering the way in creating an alternative to the U.S. technology giants that might have an NSA siphon of data. In storing data in the "Swiss Cloud", Swisscom could offer higher levels of security from government watchers. This heightened level of security is, Swisscom claims, unavailable elsewhere in the world.
Switzerland's strict data privacy laws
Unlike the U.S., in which the 2001 Patriot Act and the 2008 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act enables U.S. intelligence agencies to implement mass information gathering, Swisscom would have to have a formal request from a prosecutor before the access to data was authorised.
Talking to Reuters, Swisscom's head of IT services, Andreas Koenig said as the technology to counter data surveillance progresses, it will make more sense to store data in locations where laws make it more difficult for sensitive information to be retrieved.
"Data protection and privacy is a long tradition in Switzerland, and that's why it's pretty difficult to get to something," Koenig told Reuters.

Since a lot of us may be off work, we may as well go play. There's no firm date, but the day before or day after Christmas look promising. Who wants in?
The day before Christmas if probably out for me due to family commitments but I'm sure I could be persuaded to play on the day after Christmas to work off all of the extra food I will be eating.
For those of us in the northeast, your invite is appreciated, but just plain cruel!! Ground frozen, little reprieve anytime in the future here on Cape Cod... BUt have lots of fun!! Where it is warm enough to play!!!
Come on down to Texas where it is warm (ok, other than the ice storm last week, we are back into the 70's for this week, probably back to snow and ice next week, just wait and it will change). Who could pass up spending time with Fred?
I can't make it on Christmas eve, but the day after Christmas would work best for me.
Love to join your group for a FJC outing but looks I will be playing Christmas eve in Memphis, TN, with my brother-in-law........and maybe Memphisunited would like to join us.......if my BIL sets up a tee time.....it is deer season in West Tennessee and he has 180 acres of prime land where the deer play.......Merry Christmas to the DFW golfers........
I'll be on the hill with a snowboard strapped to my feet. This time of year unless I'm travelling there won't be any golf for me :(
Have fun Freddy.
Enjoy your Xmas rounds. I will be with the family.
No golf in my future 2-4 inches on its way tonight!
Wish I could come out and join, Fred. But, most my away golf for a while will be planned around my wife's vacation time as well. We're headed to Las Vegas the day after Christmas. It's a lot of fun out there with golf.
Maybe the day after for me.
Redskins87No golf in my future 2-4 inches on its way tonight!
Yeah, I don't think we're getting it after all. It's supposed to be 63 on Saturday.
So far, the day after Christmas looks great. I'm saddened you guys up yonder can' make it. We do expect a cold snap with a high temp of only 57 degrees.
