Small Things Considered - 2020

aka: the Apropos of Nothing thread under an alternate title I always assumed that guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan adopted the middle name of Ray in a nod to fellow Texan Buddy Holly's 'Rave On' and/or just because it sounded like a cool R&R moniker. But apparently his given name at birth was Stephen Ray Vaughan. How fortunate for his future profession. Brother Jimmie Lawrence Vaughan, not so blessed in the name department.

This is some coincidence because last week I considered writing an apropos post about SRV but then lost interest. OK, not an apropos post but an I just discovered post. When SRV first recorded some tracks in a studio, his band included actor Stephen Tobolowsky, famous for playing annoying insurance salesman Ned Ryerson in Groundhog Day, who eventually gets his lights punched out by Bill Murray.

I'm a big SRV fan. I don't think a lot of people know that he did all of the guitar work on David Bowie's best non-Tin Machine album, 1983's "Let's Dance." Including the solo that DB pretended to play wearing white gloves in the video. He got his big break debut album later that year. [youtube]VbD_kBJc_gI[/youtube]

[youtube]VbD_kBJc_gI[/youtube] Yeah, that was pretty outrageous -- a major douchebag move, I thought, for Bowie to pretend to be playing SRV licks. I think SRV is among the greatest pop music guitar players ever. He reminds me of Hendrix a lot -- the way SRV could play lead and pick individual notes very fast and yet retain a clean and precise sound. Also, his lead playing never gets so fast that it diminishes the beauty of what he's actually playing. Because I think that guitar leads, when they get to a certain speed, ruin the music. All that metal shredding is not for me. I realize it takes an incredible technical prowess to do that shredding but to me, it sounds like crap. The other reason SRV reminds me of Hendrix is the way he combined his lead playing with rhythm -- powerful and fast chord strumming -- alternating between lead and rhythm effortlessly and seamlessly. You could find great lead guitarists and great strummers but not too many that are great at both.

At work today, I took a call from a customer who lives in Alvin, Texas. I mentioned that I knew that was the birthplace of Nolan Ryan and told him I remembered when he pitched for the Mets. Then he told me his name. It is Gentry, and he confessed he is not related to either Mets pitcher. Later

Agree with everything written about SRV but David Bowie albums that are better than Let's Dance (which is better than either Tin Machine album): Hunky Dory; Ziggy Stardust; Aladdin Sane; Diamond Dogs; Young Americans; Station to Station; Low; "Heroes"; Lodger; Scary Monsters; Blackstar.

When I go to Cardio-rehab, they play music. It is usually 60's-80's pop stuff with a beat (from Beatles, to Donna Summer, to Bee Gees, etc.) to help us exercise and the people there are definitely old enough to remember those artists (or older). So the other day, I looked around and all the old folks were working hard. The music playing was Stairway to Heaven and I thought, "Definitely the wrong message". Later

LWFS Jan 18 2020 02:23 PM Re: Small Things Considered - 2020

All of the music at Lidl-- the German discount grocer that just opened up in our nabes-- seems to be from a very specific 2-3 year period in the '90s. It's like going to my 8th-grade prom every time I pick up some cream cheese and avocadoes.

I thought Lidl was a typo for Aldi's grocery stores, then looked it up. Lidl is a real thing and a German-based competitor to Aldi's.

Is there an Aldi's store near you?

Have you shopped there?

If so, how do they compare?

LWFS Jan 18 2020 04:02 PM Re: Small Things Considered - 2020

Same, more or less. The two things Lidl seems to have on Aldi are that they carry slightly more high-end items (actual Parmigiano Reggiano wedges, e.g.) and offer popular leading brands alongside their store brand for certain items (Hellman's and Duke's mayo along with their plain ol' stuff, e.g.).

Johnny Lunchbucket Jan 19 2020 03:52 PM Re: Small Things Considered - 2020

One difference between Lidl and Aldi is that Lidl plays music and Aldi doesn't. Generally, Lidl is a younger, copycat Aldi. I'm fascinated by these stores. Lidl's packaged import pasta is very good, and like that you can get your groceries and a telescope on the same trip.

Ceetar Jan 24 2020 08:37 AM Re: Small Things Considered - 2020

small rant about fucking EZPASS here because I'm fuming and want to punch something. Also I'm trying to make sense of wtf happened and need to spell it out and am going to dispute it in writing. My wife commutes over the MCB (Tappen Zee) for work daily. Usually lane 15 or 16 (This is not important). she had it on a dedicated credit card, I don't recall why, but either way, that credit card expired without her noticing, so mid November the account went negative and later in the month she apparently started racking up violations. I mean, sort of. The car is leased in my name. I got the violations about 3 weeks later, confusedly. The account is still sort of linked to her parents/valley stream address, so maybe some initial mail went there and some emails went to an older email address, so we're not totally blameless. They emailed her a 'your action is required!' email on 11/10 and 11/12, said they're switching the account to 'Cash' and deleting the credit card, and that was the last communication from them that way, even when the account went negative. The account went negative on 11/16 and they continued to debit it through 11/22. Grace period? I dunno, violations start happening after that, based on the license plate (Even though it has the tag number) to me. So is the violation against the account or irregardless of the account, to the license plate? Theoretically this should be one and the same, but.. I don't get the first notice, to me/license plate until mid December which seems like a long time. It's not obvious what happened, and I log into my wife's old email to figure out that they deleted the payment account and changed it to cash. Chase, btw, just has the account listed with no balance indication that the card is expired. I also have no recollection of seeing a new card show up. So I figure out the EZ pass login. Look at all the tabs and balances and whatnot. pay what it says to pay. resolve whatever's there and setup a new payment account, auto replenish, all that. Thinking "oh, all good, resolved" I expect to get a few more violations in the mail given how long a lag period they have, but I don't get as many as I think. So I started getting the FINAL NOTICE OF VIOLATION mailings this week, little more than a month later. $5 toll + $50 fine. gee, that's fair. and I have 4 violations. So they want to charge me $200 for $20 of tolls, that should've cost me $12. (the commuter rate is $3). But wait just a moment! I didn't have an active credit card on the account for a month. How is there only 4 violations? Good question! so I just logged in to figure this out. I already noticed they had a grace period or whatever where I went negative. Then a week or so of violations, then on 12/2 they magically have my license plate number in the transactions list for when I paid the toll on the 18th. Somehow when I logged in then to pay, they had 'some' of the previous tolls, which is clearly why I thought it was all resolved. ($24.74 round trip to Long Island, even with the EZPass discount btw) So basically they're arbitrarily charging me for 4 random tolls based on..I have no idea. Both the violations and the ones that didn't violate are noted with both License Plate and Tag #. How did they decided to bill within the account versus bill the car as if there was no tag, I have no idea. There are no violations on my EZ Pass account, only linked to my name/license plate. (despite the violations having the tag#) The lady on the phone was NOT helpful, best I could get out of her was to submit a dispute in writing, so I have some paperwork to do. Oh, but there's more! I mentioned the commuter rate was $3. But that only is valid if you take the bridge 20 times in a month, if not you're charged $3 for each missing trip. That's an auto-debit, so I've already been charged an extra $24 (5 in November, 3 in December) Some of those may be valid due to the holidays I guess, but it does mean they're charging me $5 for a toll that should've been $3 and then charging me an additional $3 for not having paid the $3.

Every kid who went to our school knew this teacher just radiated with skeeve but none of could fully process what it meant then. Fancied himself a talented photographer, and of course gave all young girls lots of attention - chorus and yearbook was women's work at my school.

Johnny Lunchbucket wrote: The suit's actually on the school district for failing to reign him in Sure, but that essentially means they have to show that there was abuse in the first place (unless that has previously been established) and then secondly that the district knew all about it but chose to do nothing. And short of a four decade-old paper trail still lying around the HS offices saying 'Hey, make sure to cover up what _______ is doing to these young girls' it's tough to see how this will go. Of course I know nothing of the details here (except that I immediately and correctly guessed who you were talking about) but these cases are rarely easy to prove even went brought contemporaneously. In this case, the time lapse just adds an additional Yuge obstacle to that. Hell, even finding people from that era still alive starts to get tough. He's listed at 80 y/o and school administrators and such from then are likely be older still.

In the once popular song Money for Nothing, which is about being a rock star making money and getting laid for free -- why does it drift off into microwave ovens and refrigerators and moving color TV's?

Frayed Knot Feb 17 2020 01:17 PM Re: Small Things Considered - 2020

Because, in the song anyway, the guys who were watching the then-new phenomenon of MTV were workers at an appliance store pondering how unfair it is that some no-talent pretty boy with barely discernible musical skills gets all the money and chicks while they're stuck moving those refrigerators, TVs, and microwaves for low wages. Supposedly Mark Knopfler overheard some workers in a NYC store grumbling along those lines while catching glimpses of the TV section tuned to MTV and created the song from that.

Blame WalMart. The discounters reset the price point for the whole industry and everybody's got to pare down the material redundancies and quality control just to keep up. And jeans and barbecues join screwdrivers and bookcases as things once manufactured to last but now are bought cheap, frequently replaced, and only residing in your home temporarily on the way to the landfill.

I've never found jeans to be 'rugged' or 'durable' or anything of the like. Going on 20 years since I stopped outgrowing them. Maybe I'm just rough on clothes but I'd buy more expensive stuff and it'd just wear or break the same way I figured what's the damn point and buy the cheapest stuff. My jeans have a random puncture hole in the ankle. I have no idea where/how and they were pretty new when it happened.

It was speculated that he fell off early in the morning while he was urinating into the sea naked, something the crew reported that he did regularly. These are class people we are talking about.

i use mapmyrun.com for all of my run-mapping needs. it also works for biking, and i think they have a sister site as well called mapmyride. if i'm running someplace entirely new, like if i'm traveling for work, i map the route before i head out. back in the day when i ran with only a watch, i'd trust in my own navigation abilities to find my way where i was going. then i started running with my phone to log distance, and to automatically map the routes as i run them. runkeeper was the app i mostly used as i liked the interface-while-running better than mapmyrun. i've since switched to a garmin watch for the route logging, so i don't run with a phone anymore. though if i were traveling somewhere new, i might just bring it along anyway, if i felt that my route had significant potential for getting me lost. btw, the gps accuracy on a dedicated garmin watch is SO much better than the shitty results you get from a phone. or maybe they just do a better job of post-processing the data... idk. but running the same routes, the garmin data is way cleaner.

There's a GPS program called Locus I bought several years ago for 5 euros that I use for all my GPS needs - hiking, biking, driving...even track my path on airplane flights. Best thing about it is that you can select and download any region at any level of detail (given filesize limitations), so you don't need cell reception to track your route. Particularly useful when hiking or flying, but a neat feature to have in all situations. You can try it for free; if I remember correctly, the free version works fine, but doesn't have the download option.

Yeah. I totally ran a Stop Sign and apparently the small village squad car was somewhere at the intersection (I never saw him) just waiting for someone. The SS was at an intersection at the bottom of a hill and I felt I had far too much momentum to want to hit the brakes. I've run it every time I've been on that route but I don't think I better do so anymore seeing as how he let me off with just a friendly lecture. I resisted the temptation to tell him that he missed me speeding just a few minutes earlier. There's one of those electronic speed signs at the bottom of an earlier hill in the same neighborhood. The posted limit is 25 and I always try to bust the limit as I zip by. I tripped it at 28 today but I thought it wise not to mention that.

Justin Trudeau has become the latest in the long list of global figures to fall for a prank call from Russian comedians Vovan and Lexus. This time, the pair managed to get through to the Canadian prime minister by pretending to be teen climate activist Greta Thunberg. The call, which was made in January but not released until this week, sees the fake Greta discuss the world's problems and what she would like Trudeau to do to help. After 10 minutes, Trudeau finally cottoned on after the fake Greta asked if he could set up a meeting between her and South Park characters Terrance and Phillip. “Wait, Terrance and Phillip, were they not in South Park?” the prime minister asks. “I don't personally know them. I believe they are South Park parodies of Canadians.”
