People. I'm not interested in buying your psychedelics, your marijuana products, your edibles, pictures of you naked or you actually naked. So please, please stop following me with that crap. All it does is make me block you.

CosmicJohn @cosmicjohn.bsky.social · 23h

Yes. In fact now they're all better than I remember.

CosmicJohn @cosmicjohn.bsky.social · 23h

10/ There's one from a show in the late 80s (can't remember which one but I think it has a Johnny B. Goode encore) that might be better. But this one's pretty hot.

Have a good Sunday everyone.

5/ I know this isn't the #GratefulDead but this #HardRain'sGonnaFall is one for the books. I was there for this one, and believe me this recording doesn't even begin to do it justice.

2/ This song -
"Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet?
We sit here stranded, though we're all doin' our best to deny it"

Lordy, what we had, have, will have.

A White-breasted Nuthatch taking off with a seed in it's beak.

A White-breasted Nuthatch about to leave a birdseed table as a Sparrow is flying in. The Nuthatch is crouched low with the wings partially open. The Sparrow in the background is out of focus

Happy looking White-breasted Nuthatch with a small piece of corn in the beak
