With Harvey J. Butchart
February 3, Saturday, 1973
Dr. Butchart, Jan Jensen and I took off from Flagstaff at 6:00am in Dr. Butchart's 68 Ford pickup. It was cold in Flagstaff at 8 degrees and some high cloudiness; no wind.
It was also dark as we headed north on highway 89. Dr. Butchart likes to talk about the canyon whenever possible and Jan and I like to listen. He will be 66 in May this year. He came to Flagstaff in 1945 and began his hiking experience in Grand Canyon then but in full force in the 1950's. His first hike was down the Kaibab Trail and out the Bright Angel Trail in one day. Dr. Butchart was born in China and grew up in the Midwest around Kansas and Nebraska. He did a lot of hiking in the Rocky Mountains as a boy.
Our plans today were two things: I was interested in finding a way down to the river in Tanner Wash as I had thought I saw a trail from the west side of the river last time I hiked from Soap Creek to Rider Canyon. Dr. Butchart was sure there was no way down. He said he wanted to go from Tanner Wash down river to Hot Na Na Wash and out Hot Na Na.
It was partly cloudy when we stopped a half mile from the highway at Bitter Springs near Tanner Wash. There is a junk pile here that sure is an eye sore. All this junk washes down Tannery Wash. The sun was up an hour now but not reaching this place due to the high Echo Cliffs to the east and heavy high clouds. There was no wind and it was 25 degrees as we started off at 8:00am.
Snow covered most of the area about 3 inches deep and more. We tromped through snow and hard sand quite a bit of the way. My old boots were soon soaked with melted snow. Dr. Butchart set a hard pace as Jan and I jogged along behind him. He figured 3 hours to reach the river. At this rate, it would be less than that. Snow was a problem for me due to soaked feet and cold. In places the snow was about 8 inches deep. We passed 4 head of cattle trying to graze in the clear places of the canyon. Trash was evident all the way that the Navajos have been dumping in the stream. The Navajos have very little respect for the land on some things. Everywhere one goes on the reservation there are trash dumps. There is not a square mile that has no trash. I'm very disgusted with some Navajos that say they love the land but are in truth are not taking care of it.
We finally reached the Beta Member of the Toroweap where we began our contouring along the west side of the canyon. This contouring was not easy and loose boulders and slide like shale and mudstone hampered our fast progress to a more reasonable rate of speed of 2 or 3 mph. The snow was less now but still covered the slope in shady areas. The pools in the Coconino below were frozen solid as Jan and I threw large rock down onto them some 100 feet or more below and the rocks broke on the ice and the ice didn't even crack.

We contoured for quite awhile on the boulder slope and finally came to the place a large talus slope reached up to the level we were at. This large talus slope is very steep in angle and consists of loose materials that have fallen from the upper Kaibab and Toroweap. Large and small boulders and lots of mud has accumulated in this part of the canyon to form this large talus slope on both sides of Tanner Wash for several hundred feet up the canyon walls. Tanner Wash is in the process of cutting through all this garbage and carrying it on down to the river. As a result, Tanner Wash has cut a very deep cut through the boulder slope and into the Hermit Shale for a very steep sided canyon within the canyon. Getting over to that slope was a problem. We had to climb up about 100 feet into the Toroweap Alfa to get around a very steep slide to reach the main slope. Once past this, it was steep loose materials all the way down to the canyon floor.
The talus slope just barely reached to the cliff unit of the Toroweap beta member. A narrow bit of loose mud and rock about one foot wide just stretched up over the cliff enough for us to get down on. One side of the narrow bridge of talus material had a shear drop of over 300 feet while the other side (downstream side) had a very steep talus slope dotted with boulders.

7. Talus clogged Tanner Wash Canyon downstream from Coconino drop off. 2/3/73.
8. Below us was the large drop off in the Coconino Sandstone with a frozen spring below it. Large masses of ice were hanging some 15 to 20 feet down off the Coconino cliffs, mostly into the Hermit Shale. 2-3-73. 2010
We were spaced pretty far apart due to the numerous rocks that would come loose and go crashing down the slope. We each had plenty of time to find cover. The three of us had been hiking enough in this type of stuff to know without words that we should space ourselves apart and take our time. The lower part of the slope was more like a sheer cliff than a slope. The boulder pile looked like it would slide down into the narrow wash below with very little agitation. Dr. Butchart said it was a tricky way to get down and he decided to find another way further downstream. Jan went over the bad place first and I waited till he reached the bottom. All the rocks and boulders were held in place by mud and were still partly frozen. The temperature was now 30 degrees and no wind and very cloudy.
9. Jan Jensen in boulder pile of lower slope in Tanner Wash. 2-3-73.
Getting down this shear mass of protruding boulders and loose rock was something I don't relish very much. In fact I kept changing my route due to a rock I thought might not hold my weight. Weight is a most crucial factor in this type of thing and I was at a disadvantage with my 185 pounds. Some of the foot holds gave way when I thought they would hold. My hand holds always held me though. I nearly chickened out but gave one last try. I was glad of my long reach; otherwise I would have given up and followed the canyon bottom where Jan was breaking ice on a pool with rocks.
We went down the wash jumping over boulders and slopping through partly frozen mud. There was much evidence of fresh boulders having fallen recently as pock holes marked the impact of boulders where they hit the bottom. Some rock left a cone of whitish powder where they had hit. Others left quite a hole in the mud but none of them stuck where they hit. We heard Dr. Butchart holler ahead of us and we soon caught up to him. He did fine another way down that was not quite as bad as the way we came down but it was steep and loose as well. 2011
Further on down we came to more and more water in the Hermit Shale. One place we came to on a sharp bend of the stream where it was undercutting a large bank of talus. The whole bank had collapsed not along ago, sometime within the last month. Huge boulders covered the area along with tons and tons of small rock and mud. Below this we came to a small spring where the water was flowing out of a crack in the Hermit Shale in the stream bed (fig 10). Green grass was growing around this spring and a little further down the ice began to form. This spring flowed about a half-gallon per minute.
10. Dr. Butchart at spring in Hermit Shale, Tanner Wash. 2-3-73.
Further on we came to a frozen waterfall of about 25 feet. Ice was caked in huge stalactites over the falls and it looked like a giant ice castle. These icicles were huge and up to 20 feet long. 2012
11. Jan Jensen at frozen falls in Tanner Wash. 2-3-73.
12. Dr. Harvey Butchart below frozen falls in Tanner Wash. 2-3-73. 2014
13. Ice creep as mass of ice slowly slides down rock. 2-3-73.
Below this ice fall was a level area with cottonwood trees on the east side where a large lake of thick ice filled the stream bed. Below this ice field was another 15 foot fall ice fall with tons of ice there as well.
14. Frozen pond below ice falls, Tanner Wash. 2-3-73.
15. 2nd ice falls, 15 ft., Tanner Wash. Esplanade Sandstone. 2-3-73. 2016
Finally we came to the lighter colored sandstone of the Esplanade Sandstone. Here was another ice fall with icicles up to 15 feet long.
16. Dr. Harvey Butchart at 15 ft. ice fall, Tanner Wash. 2-3-73.
17. Jan Jensen at 15 ft. ice fall, Tanner Wash. 2-3-73.
The stream bed here was solid rock and narrow and smooth with drop off after drop off. We were about a mile from the river. Here we stopped and had lunch since there was plenty of running water at 11:30am. Temperature down here was about 38 degrees and cloudy skies; no wind.
18. Dr. Butchart and Jan Jensen at lunch stop in Esplanade Sandstone, Tanner Wash. 2-3-73.
We made plans as we spent a half hour for lunch here. We climbed back up above the Esplanade and Dr. Butchart went downstream on the west side of the canyon while Jan and I went downstream on the east side at the Esplanade level. 2018
19. View up Tanner Wash to lunch stop at top of Esplanade Sandstone; left is east. 2-3-73.
Going along the Esplanade level was not easy either. Boulders kept getting in the way and we had to climb up and down and in and out. Dr. Butchart was keeping up with us on the west side of the canyon. We all reached the Colorado River at about the same time. Dr. Butchart went on downstream at this same level to Hot Na Na Canyon while Jan and I looked around for a trail down to the river some 250 feet below. The river was flowing about 15,000cfs over Shear Wall Rapid below. It was a brilliant clear green color and we could see all the boulders in the rapid and in the river bottom from up here. It was no trick to toss a rock from up here into the river below.
20. View looking down into Tanner Wash near the Colorado River. 2-3-73.
21. Shear Wall Rapids below Tanner Wash. View from top of Esplanade Sandstone east side of river. 2-3-73.
We searched and searched for a trail but found no way to get down over the sandstone cliffs. The view up stream was spectacular and beautiful, especially when the sun came out for a while. First sun today.
22. View upriver from Tanner Wash on Esplanade Sandstone. 2-3-73. 2021
23. View downriver below Shear Wall Rapids from above Tanner Wash. 2-3-73. 2022
We sat there just looking for about 45 minutes and then began our hike back up Tanner Wash the same way we came down since it's the only way out. So by 1:00pm we were on our way back up the canyon. We kept up a fairly good pace back up the canyon. Dr. Butchart said he would meet us at the truck about 6:30pm. If we got out first we were to leave a rock on the hood of the truck and walk over to the gas station at Bitter Springs. If he got out first he would meet us at the gas station (Chevron). We went back up the slope the same place we climbed down. It was not so bad going up. But it was not easy either. By the time we were into the Kaibab, my feet were sore, cold, and wet. Clouds again increased but no wind and it got very cold. It was 5:30pm when we reached the truck and as we looked across country we saw Dr. Butchart coming down into Tanner Wash from the west. My feet were nearly frozen. Dr. Butchart arrived 15 minutes after we arrived. We left for Flagstaff at 5:45pm and it was getting dark. Dr. Butchart was not very tired and it seemed like he could go on for several more hours yet. Jan and I had walked 16 miles today and the high reached up to 40 degrees at the river. It was back down to 32 when we left Bitter Springs. Dr. Butchart had covered approximately 18 to 19 miles today.

This circle and flower print with the aqua background has been staring at me for a while now. It was on top of the latest Hancock's pile, and made me think good bright happy thoughts. I didn't want to chop it up, so thought it would be good as a medallion, then used in subsequent borders. Good idea, but the lines of flower circles bore no relation to the grain line. Really, I shouldn't have expected them to.
So the middle area looks quite respectable. But the borders get more dodgy as you go out. I did enjoy making the flying geese (I seem to be on a flying geese roll) but had to just chop one end off to get it to even sit remotely flat. And there was no way the circles were going to sit neatly into the border! Here is my quilting shame in multi-colour close-up.
But it will be just fine for a baby quilt. A happy sunshiney baby.

The funny things - as you get older you remember the small simple things that made you who you are. My Grandparents, both sets were so different and both sets of Grandparents did so much to make me the person I am today. I have to believe that with out all of them I would not be living today. I was a wild one in my youth. I was a rebellious teenager, full of hate for the world and the feeling of invincibility. (why I became that way is a story for another time )
But before I became that rebel of a girl, I spent many summers visiting with my Grandparents in Alabama. At that time you could say I was a sweet little girl. My Grandfather was a simple sweet gentle man, full of the love of God. Most would say he was a dedicated, honest, hard working man. He was my granddaddy! I love visiting my Grandparents, and loved helping Grandfather outside. When I visit their old home I just love the shed, it looks scary but I know it is filled with love - the love my Grandfather had for his garden. My Grandparents grew most if not all of their vegetables. How delicious the corn, peas, butter beans, oooh and the tomatoes. I miss Grandmother standing in the small kitchen, watching her peel the tomatos for dinner. She would peel it with an old silver pairing knife and then slice thick slices for us all. There will never be a tomato as sweet as those!!
I love my Grandmother's voice, she would sing while doing dishes in the kitchen - it was a pleasure for her to clean up the dishes after she filled all our stomachs with her wonderful southern home cooking. She would let me help her and smile down at me, and I feeling proud to be a big girl. After dinner we would sit on the porch swing and listen to the crickets. That swing has shared love with so many family and friends over the years.
And when it was time to go to bed, Granddaddy would lay with us children under the big black fan in the back room and read stories to us. I remember he loved to read to us children, and my favorite story was 'Are You My Mother' by Dr Seuss. This man quiet and shy, could read a simple story and put so much love and life into it. He loved the whole world, without question. Both Grandmother and Granddaddy, love without bounds, without ultimatums without conditions. Their life lessons and love saved me!!
Thank you both for being their for me, for loving me and for showing me how to give love unconditionally!

Women and Child Development Minister Maneka Gandhi on Sunday urged Finance Minister Arun Jaitley to restore part of the budgetary allocations slashed in the union budget for certain schemes.
At an interaction with women journalists at the Indian Women's Press Corps here, the minister, however, said there has been no cut in budgetary allocations for her ministry as such.
"It is not a cut in the budget but just a reappropriation. A large part has gone to the states as per the recommendations of the finance commission," she said replying to a question.
"It is not that the money has disappeared," she said.
However, the minister said in areas where "we cannot do without the money, I have asked the finance minister to restore part of it".
The allocation for the ministry has been slashed by 44 percent in the budget for 2015-16 presented by Jaitley on February 28.
While the allocation for the ministry in 2014-15 was Rs.18,588 crore, it was reduced to Rs.10,382 crore for the current financial year.
Maneka Gandhi said that among the several programmes which would be affected by the budget cut was the launching of a national nutrition mission.
The mission would have entailed training Anganwadi workers in nutrition facts of children and providing tablets for them.

Tipperary Childcare Committee to host free 'Transition from Pre-School to Primary School' workshop for parents
Tipperary Childcare Committee to host free 'Transition from Pre to Primary School' workshop for parents
Tipperary Childcare Committee will host a free 'Transition from Pre-School to Primary School' workshop for parents on Tuesday June 12 at the Horse & Jockey Hotel, Thurles.
Minister for Children and Youth Affairs Dr Katherine Zappone recently announced and welcomed a key new partnership' between her department and the National Parents Council.
Minister Zappone said that "This new partnership with the National Parents Council, who for years have strongly advocated on behalf of parents at primary level, will provide a clear pathway for parents with children in pre-schools, crèches and with childminders to have their voices heard at the highest level. I feel it represents a significant, progressive step forward."
Tipperary Childcare Committee is delighted to promote and support this new initiative and encourage all parents of pre-school children to attend the new "transitions from pre-school to primary school" training session facilitated by the National Parents Council scheduled to take place at the Horse & Jockey Hotel on Tuesday 12th June 7.30pm – free of charge and no booking required.
The focus of the training session is to support parents, to support their children in making this very important transition from pre-school to primary school.
The National Parents Council will provide parents with information, examples and ideas which are designed to be helpful in supporting their children through everyday interactions. They will also provide opportunities for parents to explore and reflect on their own thoughts and feelings around this transition.
The transition from pre-school to primary school can be one of the most important transitions that a child will make.
The success of this transition can benefit children all the way through primary school providing better outcomes for children socially, emotionally and educationally.
At the training parents will:
• Meet other parents whose children are starting primary school
• Explore the possible changes the parent and child may experience during this transition
• Learn how parents can support children at home through play and meaningful interactions
• Receive a brief overview of the primary school curriculum, how and what children will learn
• Support parents to prepare for new routines for both parent and child
Parents can find out more about the National Parents Council and their new Transitions workshops by visiting www.npc.ie
Information on the current range of childcare supports available to families can be found at www.affordablechildcare.ie
Parents may also contact Tipperary Childcare Committee for information by phone 062-64200 or email email@example.com or at www.tccc.ie or Tipperary Childcare Facebook page

I can't believe you are arguing that Mellon et. al. had more "technological
vision" than Microsoft. Microsoft has a fairly detailed technological vision
(although Tim might argue that Microsoft's vision was obtained by reading
FoRK :-). The basic theme has been to get information online, easier to
access, easier to use. Information At Your Fingertips was an earlier
statement of that vision; DNA is an updated version. Read, e.g.,
http://www.microsoft.com/BillGates/billgates_l/speeches/banking.htm if you
actually care.
Oh, and by the way, what is Apple's grand technological vision? Mice and
bit-mapped displays? No, wait, you're actually going to be offering an
operating system with a time-sliced scheduler soon. I keep forgetting how
much of a technological lead Apple has over Microsoft...

SHENANDOAH JUNCTION, W.Va. - Nine-year-old Robert F. Saum's surgery for a brain tumor was three weeks behind him when a Monday morning car accident claimed the Shenandoah Junction youngster's life.
Lillian Potter-Saum, Bobby's mother, was driving her son to Johns Hopkins University Hospital in Baltimore for his follow-up treatment Monday morning when the crash occurred at about 6:30 a.m. in Frederick County, Md.
Maryland State Police in Frederick said their Saturn struck the back of a truck on U.S. 340 near Frederick.
Bobby was taken to Frederick Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced dead about 12 hours later.
His mother was listed in fair condition at the hospital Tuesday.
Bobby was a third-grade student at T.A. Lowery Elementary School in Kearneysville, W.Va., according to Ashley Musselwhite, the youngster's homebound teacher.

BP Chief Executive Bob Dudley accused some politicians and the media on Monday of being too hasty to pin all the blame on his company for the devastating Gulf of Mexico spill – and emphasized the need for deep-water drilling. In his first major public speech since taking the top job, Dudley also said BP would not pull out of the United States – and that the U.S. needs a company with BP's resources to meet its vast energy needs. Dudley delivered a speech whose mood hovered between firm and penitent, seeking to make clear that BP was learning every lesson possible from the disaster. He stressed that he also has met with experts from other hazardous industries, including the nuclear and chemical industries, as part of the company's focus on improving safety.
Boutique movie studio Lions Gate says its proposed merger with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer would save more than $100 million a year in overhead and boost cash flow on top of that by more than $120 million over five years. The company made details of its proposal public in a letter to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc. on Monday. Documents have also been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The proposal, first made in July, was updated this month with the backing of Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. shareholders who control about 71 percent of the company's shares. The group includes Carl Icahn.
Cuba has made official the grand economic changes it announced last month, publishing nearly 100 pages of rules and regulations for small businesses in the government Gazette. The move means eagerly anticipated licenses for the self-employed should be around the corner, and already on Monday, lines of potential entrepreneurs formed at several government offices around the capital. Cuba announced on Sept. 13 that it would lay off half a million workers and push many of them into the private sector. It later detailed some 178 private jobs that will be allowable, the most significant economic changes on the island since the early 1990s. But the rules did not become law until they were published Monday.
U.S. electric sportscar maker Tesla Motors Inc. opened its first Asian showroom in a Tokyo neighborhood. But with only 1,400 sold globally so far, its vehicles are more akin to gadgets than mass-produced cars. Electric vehicles are tax-free in Japan. Government incentive payments can cut a quarter off the retail price. Toyota Motor Corp. is a shareholder in the Palo Alto car company. Japanese electronics maker Panasonic Corp. supplies the cars' batteries. The cars start at $101,500 in the U.S. and 1.5 times that in Japan. There are not many recharging stations. Competition includes the iMiEV from Mitsubishi Motors Corp. and Nissan Motor Co.'s Leaf electric car, set for delivery in December.
Sales of previously occupied homes rose last month after the worst summer for the housing market in more than a decade. And fears over flawed foreclosure documents could keep buyers on the sidelines in the final months of the year. Sales grew 10 percent in September to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.53 million, the National Association of Realtors said Monday. Home sales have declined 37.5 percent from their peak annual rate of 7.25 million in September 2005. They have risen from July's rate of 3.84 million, which was the lowest in 15 years.

(This section applies only to PRO bots).
In this section we will cover how to set your price corrections over the official MTGOLibrary Pricelist (CardsMTGO.txt file).
Section A - D:
Here you will be able to choose a correction per rarity: Mythic, Rare, Uncommon, and Common; And by commodity: Non- Foil and Foil. Then adjust sections E and F as you please.
Section E: Correction %
This will adjust your sell price compared to the cardsmtgo.txt file located in your prices folder. If a card is 1 tix and you chose a 5% adjustment you will now be selling it at 1.05 tixs. You can have a different percent for each price range. Play test with different setting until you feel you have the pricing you desire.
Section F: Profit Margin
This is a margin in percentage compared to your adjusted sell price, this will formulate your purchase price. So for example if you are selling a card for 1 tix and your correction percentages is 5% and your margin% is 10% sell price is 1.05 and your buy price (10% of 1.05) is 0.945.
Section G: Bot selection
When you are finished adjusting you corrections and margins you need to decide which bots you want to apply this pricing to you can do a single bot all your bots or all the bots in a certain chain.
You can define correction and profit margin numbers independently for each rarity and for each price range. The idea behind different corrections for different price ranges is that you may want to profit 20% on a 1 tix card (giving you 0.20 tix profit) but be happy to profit just 10% on a 10 tix card (giving you 1 tix profit) or even just 5% on cards worth over 50 tix (giving you 2.50+ tix profit per card).
Any other adjustments or limits, such as Personal Percentages and Price Limits will only be applied on these computed sell and buy prices at the end. This means that if Jace, Vryns Prodigy was computed to be sold at 0.138 tix and bought for 0.110 tix (as shown above) and you have a minimum sell price of 1 tix, the buy price will remain 0.110 (assuming you don't have a buying price limit or it's higher than 0.110)

I had an interview postponed this week and needed to pull something out of my hat to fill my column. So while I took a Duffy cruise of the harbor, looking for that last-minute story, the thought kept coming into my head to interview myself — a type of self-portrait.
I will be 54 this year and was born in Arcadia, California. My parents, Vivian and Len, moved to Huntington Beach in 1968, and, because we had previously lived in Hawaii, I headed straight for the beach. I also had a passion for baseball. I graduated from Edison High School and Orange Coast College and attended Cal State Long Beach for a year.
In 1975, my father built up the courage to purchase a Hobie Cat 16, and we started sailing in Newport Harbor off 16th Street. After spending a couple years running into all the moored boats in front of 16th Street, I started racing with my father. For a number of years, we sailed in the Ancient Mariner Regatta, which was named for the sponsoring restaurant. That race was interesting because we started and finished each day in front of the restaurant.

I am about to make my first withdrawal from my son's 529 and am confused by the amount I can allocate to room & board.
My son is a freshman and about to complete his first semester. He lives in private student housing with a 1-year lease. The lease is front-end loaded with a total of 10 equal payments that began in May. I will only make 2 payments in 2018 (Jan & Feb).
As I understand the Qualified Education Expense (QEE) 529 withdrawal rule, I can only withdraw an amount for a qualifying expense that I have already paid AND the QEE amount for Room & Board can't be greater than the school's Cost of Attendance (COA).
To keep the numbers simple:School Room & Board COA per semester $ 5,000Private Dorm Payments Made - 2017 $12,800Private Dorm payments remaining (Spring '18) $ 3,200
So, my question is this: Can I withdraw $10,000 in 2017 for Room & Board, even though it exceeds the semester COA but is equal to the full year COA? If not and I can only withdraw $5,000, I will only be able to withdraw $3,200 (actual 2018 payments) next semester, not the full $5,000, leaving me short $1,800.
In other words, does the IRS look to the semester COA amount or full year COA amount when determining if the withdrawal is Qualified or Non-Qualified?
Any advice on this would be most appreciated.
The important thing to remember is that you need to match up payments for qualified expenses and corresponding 529 distributions in the same tax year, up to the maximum school COA. Assuming the housing arrangement doesn't change and the lease doesn't increase, in 2018 total lease payments will equal $16,000. So in 2018 you can take $10,000 in 529 distributions to cover this cost, which will cover the room and board COA for both spring '18 and fall '18.
I'm a bit confused by the last response. The COA will probably increase in future years. Fall 2018 is part of the Fall 2018/Spring 2019 school year. The $10,000 COA mentioned above is for the current school year - Fall 2017/Spring 2018.
I too am interested to the answer to this question as many off-campus housing arrangements are not evenly split for 2 semesters. I know my child pays monthly and has 5 payments (Aug-Dec) in 2017 and 7 payments (Jan-Jul) 2018.
If/when the COA goes up, then in this case a larger distribution can be taken from the 529 without penalty. The actual housing costs already exceed the COA for room and board, so a higher COA means more reimbursement from the 529. Yes, it's not as simple as it might be since the IRS restrictions on payments of qualified expenses and distributions from a 529 do not coincide with the typical academic calendar. My main point in responding to chapmama is that planning for payment of expenses and requesting 529 distributions needs to consider the tax year calendar as well as the academic calendar.
Mark & dcanmc, thank you for your replies.
After doing more digging, it appears that the IRS cares not only about the tax year in which R&B was paid but also the ACADEMIC PERIOD for COA purposes.
Unless I make a rent payment in May '18 for his sophomore year dorm, I will only be able to get $3,200 from his 529 for Spring Semester, representing the actual payments made in that academic period but which is less than the schools COA of $5,000 for that semester/academic period.
Fortunately I was able to stop the December rent check and rescheduled it for Jan 2, 2018, to boost the Spring semester payments to within a hair of the schools COA for that period.
Helpful IRS sources:
https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p970.pdf Chapter 7, Qualified Education Expenses, Qualified Higher Education Expenses (2.)The allowance for room and board, as determinedby the school, that was included in the cost of attendance(for federal financial aid purposes) for aparticular ACADEMIC PERIOD and living arrangementof the student.
And: www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/individuals/qualified-ed-expenseswhere academic period is defined as:
Academic Period
You must pay the qualified education expenses for an academic period that starts during the tax year or the first three months of the next tax year. Academic periods can be semesters, trimesters, quarters or any other period of study such as a summer school session. Academic periods are determined by the school. For schools that use clock or credit hours and do not have academic terms, the payment period may be treated as an academic period.
My learning curve has been steep with our first child.
The definition of academic period that you cited has to do with the timing of making payments in order to properly claim education tax credits and deductions. For IRS purposes, the only payment timing you should have to worry about when using 529 funds is making sure that 529 distributions are taken in the same tax year as the payment for the qualified education expense that the money is being used for. Example: if you send a check to the school in December, 2017 for the spring 2018 semester tuition, make sure any 529 distribution to fund that payment occurs in 2017. It could happen in January, 2017 and keep the IRS happy, but it would be a problem if the 529 distribution took place in January, 2018. Of course, the school or a landlord is going to have their own deadlines concerning payments.
Will there be other housing payments in 2018, after the $1,600 payments are made in January and February? I'm talking about arrangements for sophomore year.
I have a bit of a followup question.
Let's say Room/board on the COA is $10K/year and I already withdrew and spent $10K in 2017. Can I withdraw more money from my 529 and make payments in Dec 2017 for 2018 (ie., pay January's rent early)? I am leaning toward yes. It would seem ok from 529 point of view (matching withdrawals and payments) and also from a COA point of view (the first $10K was for 2017 expenses and the rest for 2018 expenses).
I think that would be fine, as long as:-The 529 distributions take place in the same calendar year in which the matching eligible expenses were paid-529 distributions are only matched up with eligible education expenses-Total eligible education expenses that 529 funds are used for do not exceed the school's COA
Another question regarding off campus COA and eligible 529 withdrawals.
For purpose of discussion, assume that:
Off campus lodging (room only) is $10,000 per calendar yearOff campus food expense (board) is $3,000 per calendar yearOn campus room per COA is $8,000 per calendar yearOn campus board per COA is $4,000 per calendar year
Can I withdraw total room & board COA of $12,000 or am I limited to just the room COA of $8,000? I've looked through the IRS publications and haven't found what seems to be a definitive answer and would appreciate help.
Thanks in advance!
If the student is living off campus, you should be able to safely withdraw from the 529 account an amount up to the school's total COA for students who live off campus.
If the student lives off campus, don't base your 529 withdrawals on the on campus COA that the school provides.
First, thanks for your response.
Your response indicates that it is okay to withdraw 529 funds based on total COA (not just room cost) based on the school's COA "for students who live off campus".
I checked with the financial aid office at my daughter's university (University of Michigan) to see if the university publishes a COA for off campus living. They reported that they do not. The published costs from the housing department for university owned dormitory are the only housing COA data that is available.
So, it appears that the only published costs for housing are the ones for on-campus living.
MJM, we had the same experience. Our daughter's university does not have a COA "for students who live off campus." Just the published costs for on-campus living. And since off-campus housing is a lot more expensive than on-campus housing, it works to the IRS' favor because one can't take out as much tax free to cover actual off-campus housing costs.
Thanks for your response. Seems odd that there doesn't appear to be much information available on what seems like a routine question. Unless I find something else, guess I will use the university published room & board COA for on campus residents
I'm looking for guidance on the topic of allowable withdrawals from a 529 Plan for off-campus housingvand meals for a full-time student. Seems to be a paucity especially on the food part. As near as I can tell I should be able to pay for the cost of rent and utilities up to the on/campus housing cost. Since the on-campus cost of housing varies from one form to another, I would use the most expensive if necessary. I would pay the rent directly on behalf of the student and ask for receipts for rent actually paid so that I could document expenses.
On the food side, I am not going to buy the kid's food. My plan is to base my withdrawal on the cost of the most expensive meal plan the college offers, and cut regular checks to the student. Not practical to document actual money spent on food, which would actually most likely be more than the meal plan cost anyway. This is my first rodeo. Thoughts on how this might fly with IRS? Any experience to share?
The school will have "official" published Cost of Attendance numbers that you should use in determining the maximum qualified expense amount to guide your 529 distributions for room and board. Do not simply look at housing costs or meal plan costs that might be available on the school's website. Get the official COA numbers. As noted in previous posts, the school may or may not have separate COA numbers for students who live off campus, or commuting students who live at home. Saving receipts, when practical, is never a bad idea, but I think it's unlikely that the IRS will ever ask for receipts as proof of expenses, as long as the school's COA numbers are not exceeded.

Even though real archaeology isn't remotely like the way it's portrayed in the movies, it still sounds like a pretty cool way to make a living. What adventure-loving soul wouldn't have enjoyed working alongside Guillermo de Anda as he found fourteen caves filled with temples and pyramids in Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula? National Geographic (of course) brings us the news of de Anda's recent discovery, which reveals much about what the Mayan people believed about death and the afterlife.
Not much there, but anything with that title had to be posted.

So you're feeling pretty great.
Because you FINALLY found a new, shiny, amazing tool that's gonna save your life.
(Hint, hint: It's CoSchedule).
Now all you gotta do…
…is convince your team to hop on board.
The problem: They are tough to convince.
Old school.
"Don't have the time."
They share your budget (#dollabillsya'll)
Basically, you've got a TOUGH sell ahead of you. (Whatever your reason may be).
BUT luckily…
…the peeps here at CoSchedule decided to do the hard work for you.
*insert joyful chorus here*
After researching the best tactics to convince others and conducting interviews with REAL customers who've struggled to convince their teams…
…we've put together a plan (AND a presentation template for you to use) that's going to make this process a whole lot LESS painful.
So let's dive in, shall we?
Want to use Click to Tweet on your blog?
Part 1: Become The Expert
You've got the tool…
…and you want to shout it from the rooftops.
BUT in order to convince your team effectively…
…ya gotta pump the brakes my friend.
*squeal-y tire noise*
Because the first step in this process is taking the time to become the EXPERT in everything that is CoSchedule.
Because you gotta be ready for the pushback, so you need to equip yourself with data.
And facts.
And plenty of "how-to's."
Basically, you've gotta have ALL THE ANSWERS.
Because if your team has issues and you DON'T have the solution…
…it gives them the excuse they need to quickly head out the door.
So to get you equipped with all the knowledge you need…
…we're going to jump right into the how-to's and highlights of CoSchedule.
Plus, at the end of each section, we've prepared some handy talking points for you (ca-ching) so you can easily summarize the highlights when you start talking to your team.
Highlight #1: Consolidation (AKA Your One-Stop Marketing Shop)
You already know this…
…but one of the best time-saving aspects of CoSchedule is the ability to CONSOLIDATE.
No more spreadsheets.
No more copy / paste.
No more overwhelming tabs open on your computer.
It's everything you need.
It's life-changing.
^^ Seriously, it's okay to use those statements in your first pitch. :)
Anyway … the first aspect you should get comfortable with is…Marketing Campaigns.
So here's a video to quickly understand how to use it, AND one that you can share with your team to get them excited:
Proactively planning roadmaps, allocating (+ maximizing) resources effectively…I mean who can argue with that?
Plus, Marketing Campaigns eliminates all that wasted time that people spend tracking down content…
…which means more time can be spent on the EXECUTION of projects.
And look how simple it is. (Which means no one can ever tell you it's too complicated.)
So to recap, why is marketing campaigns so LEGIT?
Answer: It takes organizing the next marketing campaign, feature launch, event, etc., to the next level.
And ALL smart marketers are serious fans of anything to make organization easier.
So it's going to be an EASY win with your team (especially because now you have all the factoids).
Next up…
These babies are amazing (and you probs agree) because… you can categorize, prioritize, and emphasize the projects you (and your team) care about with the colors you care about.
Right now, it's probably kind of hard to find things…
But that's where you come in hot and start talking about how custom color labels are going to make it so much easier to locate things FASTER.
(Because the team calendar will FINALLY have the extra context it needs.)
And hopefully, your peeps are gonna freak.
But either way….you also gotta know how to use 'em.
So, here's an easy how-to when it comes to setting up custom color labels
Step 1: Head to your calendar settings.
Step 2: On the right side of the screen, you will now see the pre-set options of labels listed (with the pre-set color scheme).
Step 3: Click on the circle icon, and either select one of the colors listed in the drop down palette, or you can select the EXACT color you need by using the color wheel (or even putting in the exact hex number).
Step 4: Give the labels a name (or not, that's cool, too), by putting it in the text box next to the color label you want to use.
Step 5: Does your team need more than the original 7 labels? Simply add as many as you need by using the "add" section below the gray line.
Step 6: Finally, drag + drop the labels to prioritize them in any order that you want.
And if anyone asks, you don't HAVE to give your labels a name. They will simply be sorted horizontally (instead of vertically) at the top of your screen.
Give yourself a pat on the back because you are now a color labels PRO, and you can ensure that your team's calendar will be as organized as ever.
Next on the list: filters + custom calendar views.
Time saver? Check.
Sweet levels of visibility? Check.
Efficient? Check.
I mean YOU already know this, but remember, I'm preparing you to crush that first convo with your team.
So with the filter menu and custom calendar views, your team will be able to jump into projects…faster.
- The filter menu makes it easy to find your content.
- The custom calendar views eliminate the tedious process of filtering the calendar AGAIN and AGAIN.
So, here's the how-to for using the filter menu:
And…here's how to you save a filter into a custom calendar view:
Yep, it's that easy.
Basically, your team is going to start falling in love with the tool as much as you.
And with that…
You have finally earned your first talking point:
Consolidate your marketing toolset AND workflow. Create a unified workflow for every project with CoSchedule's all in one marketing calendar. Proactively plan out your entire roadmap, get real-time visibility, and maximize your resources inside a collaborative, cross-functional calendar for it all!
So now that we've covered how CoSchedule consolidates your marketing process…
…you're one step closer to being a CoSchedule champion.
Highlight #2: Communication [Is Key]
Anyone that's ever been in a fast-moving team…
…knows that half the battle is clear communication.
Heck, just communication AT ALL.
You're all so busy…
…you're lucky just to turn in that project update on time.
And that's where CoSchedule will really start to resonate with your teammates.
So, let's dig into how CoSchedule makes communication about 1000X easier.
First…let's talk about consistent team workflows.
(Because who doesn't love a good, effective workflow…am I right?!)
The highlights:
- Plan and assign tasks and get your content approved and published
- Execute faster across distributed teams
- Keep your team members up to date, and avoid email!
- Know the exact stage of each [and every] project
The biggest sell here is that your team can actually build project workflows right into the team calendar.
Next on the list is how to build a workflow:
- Open a new piece of content
- Select the task template icon and +New Template
- Name your template, and hit Next
- Add each of your tasks
- Assign each task to a team member
- Establish the # of days before or after publish that the task is due
You're all set to a) sell the magic that is workflow templates (and honestly, the beauty that is assigning tasks) and b) know how to create them like a pro.
So, to continue with the awesome communication features within CoSchedule. Let's talk about CHAT.
Basically, in-app chat eliminates all the wasted time spent combing through an inbox searching for a project update.
^^it's going to be #lifechanging
So within each project, there is a tab where all involved team members can give updates or leave notes for the group.
AKA say sayonara to all those information silos buried in everyone's email inbox.
So here's how to access and use chat:
- Head into any piece of content
- On the right side of the screen, click the message icon tab
- And BOOM. You can start chit-chattin' away.
And if you're team is constantly buried in emails…this is going to be a major selling point.
(I mean just THINK of all the hours everyone spends searching their inbox!)
So now that you're a communicating-in-CoSchedule pro, here's your second talking point:
Execute faster across distributed teams. Stay in the loop on every project without getting stuck in the weeds of searching a lengthy email chain or cluttered inbox. Easily share files, comments, and project details with everyone directly within CoSchedule.
Highlight #3: Get To Know The [Amazing] Social Tools
So now that you're already well on your way to becoming a CoSchedule expert…
…we're going to talk about the CoSchedule social tools.
*get pumped*
(Because you know that your team is going to LOVE them.)
But first…
….you really have got to figure 'em out before you can start explaining them to your team.
So let's get started!
First, here's how to build a social campaign:
- Head to your master calendar view
- Click the + to access content types
- Select Social Campaign
- Add the link you want to promote
- Plan ALL your messages for every social network
Also be sure to explain that you can add a social campaign to ANY piece of content.
Simply head into the piece of content you want to promote, and start adding in messages in the Social Campaign section of the editor.
And BOOM. You're all set.
Next up…social templates and social helpers!
Here's the how-to for setting up social templates:
- Open a piece of content
- Select the social template icon within the Social Campaign section
- Select + New Template and give your template a name
- Customize it to incorporate any of your social profiles
- Build a schedule that shares your content for days, weeks or even MONTHS
For a more detailed how-to, check out our Social Templates Help Doc :)
Can you feel the time-savings yet?!
Now, here's how to create a social helper:
- Head into any social campaign
- Select the social helper icon, and click +New Helper
- From here, you can create standard social helpers (synced from WordPress) or custom text helpers, image helpers, or even video helpers
Need a more detailed run-down? Head to our Social Helpers Help Doc :)
And now that you know how to set those up…
…it will be 1000X easier to explain to your team that they are going to save TONS of man hours with CoSchedule.
Plus, the cherry on top of the sweet social tools?
I mean you already know that it is amazing…
…but your team? They don't know what's coming.
All you have to show them is how EASY it is.
The time saved by selecting "Best Time" versus trying to figure it out without the tool?
Yeah, they can use that to pick their jaws up off the floor.
Okay…so you're ALMOST the master of the social tools…
The last piece?
ReQueue: the most intelligent way to automate your social media.
I mean YOU already know how great it is…
Because it's set-it-and-forget-it on steroids.
So, here's a sweet visual to show your team how ReQueue to optimizes your social strategy:
As far as actually setting it up, here's the lowdown:
- Head to the ReQueue dashboard in your calendar menu
- Create a ReQueue group
- Add any messages associated with the group
- Let CoSchedule take care of the rest :)
And if you need any more help getting ReQueue set up, here's a live demo.
Sonow that you're a wiz at social campaigns, templates, helpers, Best Time Scheduling, and ReQueue…
You earned your third talking point:
Highlight #4: Prove Your ROI (Finally)
One of the biggest challenges that marketing teams face…
…is proving their ROI.
It's hard to track everything…(but we do because we aren't slackers).
And honestly…
it's tedious.
Because we know our marketing efforts drive results…
…but *others* need more convincing.
I know you feel our pain…and if you're team is willing to admit it's pretty un-fun and they want something that can make it all better…
Then they are going to be PUMPED about the Top Content Report…
…the Social Engagement Report...
And….the Team Performance Report.
Basically, you're gonna make 'em drop dead with joy.
So, let's dive into how you can show the value (and how to find) of all these amazing reports.
First, head to your calendar menu.
Then, select Analytics.
And then you will be direct to the most glorious page ya' ever did see:
So now that you know where to find your reports…let's get into the nitty gritty of what each report means and how you can customize them to your advantage:
Top Content Report
- Description: See ALL your top content + how it performed across each network (because I don't know, you might want to reuse it…just a hint).
- How to Customize:
- Sort by content type
- Sort by content owner
- Sort by past 24 hours, past 7 days, past 30 days, past year, or all time
Social Engagement Report
- Description: See the performance of each social network, account, and specific messages.
- How to Customize:
- Set a date range
- Search for a specific message
- Select overall engagement, or view engagement by each social network
- Select overall top messages, or top messages by network
Team Performance Report
- Description: Get a snapshot of your team's entire performance, performance by project, or the performance of a specific team member.
- How to Customize:
- Set a date range
- Search for a specific project, piece of content, or team member.
- Select a specific team member and view a granular view of their performance (including all completed, overdue or incomplete tasks)
All that data…all that saved time…and now you're a reporting pro!!
And with that…
Here's your final talking point:
Prove your ROI with data driven results. No more warm fuzzies! Prove the value of all your hard work with real data. Utilize CoSchedule's most advanced analytics to measure your success!
Part 2: Convince Your Team
So now you're a CoSchedule expert.
Welcome to the club!
Plus, you're armed with some pretty thorough + effective talking points.
Which means it's time to move onto the next and most difficult step in the process…
…convincing your team (AKA actually talking to them).
And they are all marketers…so they are used to selling BUT really don't like to be sold.
So you've gotta be a little sneaky.
(Okay, you've gotta be super strategic).
Because here is the thing…you're all overworked marketers who are constantly pulled in a million different directions.
So getting your team (and honestly carving out a few minutes for yourself) to give your spiel is gonna be tough…
Which is why we've laid out a 3-step process for you, along with a few resources (like this sweet presentation template), to get your team on the CoSchedule train.
*Deep breath*
Let's do this.
Step 1: Convert Some Allies
..so here's the thing.
Before you can show the whole team whatcha got…
…you need to get some allies.
Because if you can initially convince just a couple of people that CoSchedule is *the* tool…
…it ensures that you aren't the only disappointed one if it doesn't work out in the end.
A little.
So the first step is to identify your potential allies.
For example, you're coworker who always has your back…
…or that one person who is always talking about efficiency.
Just find 'em.
Next…you've got to casually show them CoSchedule, when they LEAST expect it.
Catch them in their least mode of resistance.
In fact, show them this vid:
^^effective, eh?
Or if you aren't by a computer, use those handy talking points we assembled in the first part of this how-to.
The goal here is to almost make it seem like you discovered this *together* (even though you and I know that just isn't the case).
And remember…
Be cool.
Be casual.
Be subtle.
But also…use this time to get them as excited as you are.
And once you've got just one person excited about it…
…rinse and repeat.
Step 2: Share With The Rest Of Your Team
So you've done EVERYTHING right up to this point.
*two thumbs up*
But now…
…it's game time my friend.
The big show.
It's time to share CoSchedule with the rest of your team.
And remember, you've gotta be strategic.
First, you've need to figure out when you're going to share the info.
BUT the catch is…
…you should NOT share that you will be talking about CoSchedule at said event.
Otherwise, it gives your team the chance to get into a mode of resistance.
So, the key here is to find a time that won't be suspect.
For example, do it during a team lunch.
Slide it in at the very end of a team meeting.
And the only people that should know that you're doing to talk about CoSchedule is 1) you and 2) your allies.
Next, identify the way you want to position CoSchedule.
For example, if your team is ALWAYS short on time… or just plain overworked…
Then you need to the lead with how CoSchedule puts time back on their calendar.
Or, if your team is sick and tired of the overwhelming amount of tools they have to use to get their job done…
Then say how CoSchedule gets EVERYTHING done in the same tool.
^^See what I did there?
The next step…
….removing any obstacles, hesitations, and roadblocks.
And because we <3 you, here's a list of potential concerns that you might hear from your team, and the response you can give them:
And finally…
…tap into some psychological techniques during your presentation!
Everyone soaks up information differently, so if you hit on every learning style in your presentation, you're good as gold.
See what I mean below:
Verbal Learner
- This kind of learner needs to actually *hear* the benefits of CoSchedule.
- Example: (This is a little obvious) but use your VOICE and intonation to make sure that CoSchedule resonates with them or include a video with sound into your presentation (like any of the ones included in this blog post).
Visual Learner
- This type of person needs to *see* the benefits of CoSchedule.
- Example: Include some awesome infographics in your presentation, or send them afterwards (like the one listed below).
Kinesthetic Learner
- This type of person needs to actually *move* when they hear new information.
- Example: Go for a walk with this person to explain the benefits of CoSchedule or let them experiment with the tool so they can find the benefits themselves.
And there you go!
You've got ALL the tools you need to present CoSchedule to your team.
Step 3: Start Settin' It Up
You made it.
So to complete the whole "convincing your team" process…
…you've got to get people to try the tool.
Thankfully…you get a FREE trial :)
And in this final phase, the goal is to let your team have some "AHA" moments.
Let them realize how AMAZING CoSchedule by having them try the tool.
And if people are still hesitant about it (because they still aren't totally sold on the idea), you can say "we are just trying it out right now."
And the biggest piece for you during this stage…
…is to be PATIENT.
No everyone is going to *love* it right away. But your job is to be the cheerleader.
The supporter.
The understanding advocate.
Basically, make sure you are there for your team during this trial phase.
Take the time to help them with any issue they may be experiencing.
And if you can't figure it out, you can direct them to this link and we'll make sure to answer their question.
Remember: We're here for ya.
Another technique to use during the trial phase is "the nudge."
This is effective when you some of your team members refuse to try it (or claim to be too busy, etc.)…
…so the next time they ask a question that CoSchedule could solve for them, subtly mention that they could have used CoSchedule.
BUT don't be a jerk :)
Here's an example of where "the nudge" would be effective:
Slow Adopter: "Hey there, are you done with your blog post yet?"
You: "Yep! I commented on the post in CoSchedule. You can see all the progress updates within the piece of content :) I also saw that <insert name> finished up the graphics."
Basically, the premise of "the nudge" is to get them to see that CoSchedule will actually help them.
(Which it obviously will).
Finally…during the trial period, make sure your advocates are growing.
And if not, find out why.
Because if for some reason CoSchedule doesn't work out (#sadface), at least you have all the information you need start looking for something else.
(Although, we REALLY HOPE that your team loves it just as much as you).
And as you approach the end of your trial period…
…make sure to include your team in the decision-making process.
Get their feedback.
DO your best to make the WHOLE process as enjoyable and as inclusive as possible.
Because even if you end up sticking with CoSchedule (YAY!), you want to make sure that almost everyone is onboard + excited.
And if the plan to convince your team is as effective as we hope it will be…
…your team will look a little something like this:
^^because that's the goal, right?!
So to recap:
First, you need to take the time to LEARN the ins-and-outs of CoSchedule.
Next, you can use the 3-step process (and this handy presentation template) to *strategically* convince your team that CoSchedule is the tool they never knew they needed.
And at the end of it all…
…we hope that you can finally take advantage of your new, shiny, amazing tool that's gonna save your life.

The importance of letters
by justbekozlowski
There once was a man,
Who read a book,
And from that book,
He learned to crook.
Now to look at a crook,
Is not to look at a book,
Nor from every book,
Can you learn how to look.
Just as the crook had read the book,
The world around him now heavily shook,
So the crook decided to read a different book.
The book he read was learning to cook,
Then from that book he became a cook,
So the cook who cooked stook,
And was never again a crook,
That my dear friends is the importance of letters,
When choosing to read a book.
What they are is one thing,
But what they do's another,
So pick them wisely,
And always remember,
You are what you read,
So always bother.

Surprise! No More Wednesday Surprise! I Surprise You Whenever I Fucking Feel Like it!
I pride myself on learning, finding, and sharing music that isn't known to a majority of people. I also pride myself in having my guilty pleasures, though I do not pride myself on using the term "pride myself." The opening sentence sounds like a douche-y thing to say…bear with me. It is not a pride thing as far as, "Oh, you haven't heard _________? It really was at the forefront of the _______ movement." It is a pride thing as far as, "Hey, man…come over and let me play this for you." More often than not the guest will bring something that I have never heard or tell me about a genre somewhere in the world that is right up my alley. Everyone wins when no one is a dick smack.
What I am sharing today are things that everyone already knows. Why? It's my website and I felt like it. That might be kind of a dick thing to say, sure, but I don't care.
While working at the record store I would dig through the discount bins and pick out 90s music that I had forgotten about or dismissed as fodder. Most of the time I was correct in writing it off but sometimes I would revisit something that opened the floodgates to memories. This is one of those albums.
The Smashing Pumpkins were always an anomaly for me. I enjoyed the timbre, save for the ultra-mid guitar sound, and I will shit off of a cliff if anyone disagrees that Jimmy Chamberlin is one of the best, and overlooked, drummers of the last 50 years. My put off was always the front man, Billy Corgan. Obviously I don't know him personally but he comes across as a complete narcissistic ball sack. He had one of the greatest bands of the 90s and yet no one could work with him. He went from a frail-haired, rayon-wearing rock icon to a bald-headed pseudo-intellectual spouting off at anyone who dismissed his art as complete shit. Any true artist would take the criticism and use it to their advantage but instead he formed Zwan.
One of my favorite memories, and best stories, is when, at the age of 15, I stole my dad's truck to go to Kmart and buy Siamese Dream. The rush of driving through the town and doing wrong was like a drug. I arrived and pulled into the parking spot, went in, and paid for the $10 of magic. I returned to the truck and started pulling out and turned too early, smashing into the car parked next to me. (I was driving a 1978 Ford Ranger…not the smallest vehicle.) "Fuck," I thought. To put whipped cream on my sure demise, a girl was walking by at the time and witnessed it. I simply played it cool and parked the truck and got out and began to walk inside again to report it. With one eye over my shoulder I waited for the witness to get in her car, comfortable that I would be a good person and report it, and drive away. As the horizon swallowed her I ran back to the truck and peeled lightning outta there.
I arrived home safely and replaced the truck exactly where I had stolen it from. The only difference was the entire side was caved in from the accident. I had no idea what to do. My sister was home and had worked out an agreement with dad about taking the truck to meet some friends for lunch. She had had no idea that I even left. She took the truck and, because she was such a good kid, upon return she washed the truck as a thank you to dad for letting her take it. Luckily she hadn't seen the dent yet so as I walked out I assholed to her, "OH MY GOD WHAT DID YOU DO TO THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK?!"
She came around (the damage was on the passenger side) and kind of freaked out. "Oh no! Someone must've hit me and took off!"
"Yeah, that's what it looks like. Dad's gonna kill you."
The secret was kept hush until a dinner years later when our mutual friend, whom I had told the story to, said, "Hey, I think Luc has something to tell you."
My sister, perplexed and in wonderment, innocently said, "What?"
I then explained the entire thing. Luckily the statute of limitations had expired and we all had a good laugh.
I only told you that to tell you this.
I was really looking forward to the follow up to Siamese Dream. Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness was released and, oh boy, it was a double album. Pulling the ol' Use Your Illusion trick. "Let's make it a double album so people will think we are so thought-provoking and artistic." Goddamn. It was almost enough to make someone hate music. So much filler and jagbaggery (see what I did there?) that one had to constantly skip tracks so as to hear the good ones. I see why he shaved his head now…he had cancer of the restraint.
I like the album and have spent some time revisiting it lately. So to continue on in my asshole ways I present to you my edited, reordered version aptly titled Mellon Collie and the Finite Sadness. Enjoy.
Listening to this made me think about the nineties and all the shit and hangers-on and soft potatoes that went on in that era. So, much to the chagrin of my neighbors, I'm sure, I compiled a four hour mix of 90s music, some good and some deplorable. I have my favorites, as should you, but it is blatant that this is quite the amazing collection of, "Holy fuck, this is horribly wonderful," that has been put together in quite a while. Save for the NOW Volume 547 that you see in checkout lines and manage to sell millions of copies. (Pssssst, to those people buying it, you only have to turn on the radio.) Let's all cringe together.
