Retired engineer which means facts and science are important! Golf, beer, sports, music (prog rock especially), and U.S. travel are my favs, not necessarily in that order. Vote Blue!

Could you please give some more examples of PT? Inquiring minds want to know!

If you haven't listened to any of Petty's guitarist Mike Campbell's work, the most recent album has several songs reminiscent of TP's sound. Mike isn't the singer Tom was, but the effort is solid.

I'll agree. Prog rock isn't only defined by long expanding themes within a song structure, it includes any rock form that goes beyond "mainstream" basics and finds inventive ways to present an often overused form. Kate Bush took pop rock to new vistas and intricacies outside the norm.

Granted, some get stuck in time. But some of us Boomers are digging the newer artists of Prog.

At the moment, I've started contributing much more heavily to food bank goods. Just actively buy store goods and take them by case loads to local food banks. It's small, but it does help. I'm looking for other ways to contribute as well so suggestions are welcome. It's not change the world stuff.

It's to the point I don't look at news for more than a glance. With that kind of dissociation, what is there to do? I'm not any kind of influencer, but I can act. I've decided to make an active effort to contribute in some area that I'll think will lose support with Trump.

Washington state in $100/yr, about a penny a mile if driving 10,000 miles a year. The corresponding gas tax is $0.49/gal or between one or two cents a mile, depending on gas efficiency. So it is comparable. We did get $1600 on a sales tax rebate, so that pays for 16 years of EV taxes!

Raspberries. Don't know why. Any other kind of berry is fine.

One of my top picks of the year!

This was awesome. Thanks for putting it out. My list would not be nearly as exhaustive and deep. This takes real commitment.

Absolutely. When we all pitch in, we expand each other's horizons. Rock on.

If you like KC, chances are you enjoy music with complex song structures and rhythms. Give Haken a try. The album Fauna is their most recent.

Like Jethro Tull's Thick As A Brick?

I like the fact that I live on a property where if I were to throw a baseball, I can't hit any of my neighbors houses. I don't think I'm alone in that regard.

Well, I am a mini-van owner and bought an EV. Why? I was using the van too much to for one-person errands. Now, we barely use it except if we need to haul more than four people or need to move something big.
