I don't think I ever got a journal. I might use that.
This thread reminded me of when I sold some original art, made painstakingly, to somebody from Nice, actually. I learned later his art form was combustion.

Then again, we could all save up the stuff and give it to Justin on his birthday. Then, he'd have to buy or rent a second carve or garrage/garozh so he could stop in and say, "Hello, stuff."

Makes me wonder what memorabilia he has kept. Lee and Taralee have really been good about getting stuff out on line. John and Kristian put a lot out in the box set too.... Justin and Graeme either throw it away as they go, or have it stuffed in the storage they all share. Bummer Marie and/or Doremi won't go through it and put it on iine.
So it goes.
I know in the 60s Erin Fleming got a lot of Groucho Marx's stuff out, reproduction posters of things he had saved. I liked Groucho, would like to have met him.

I can't help you on this one; I'm no good at wondering. The probability of getting anything right = 0.

Then, if you do get every detail of something right, which you won't, you will say you defied the odds, but that's on the other thread. If you get anything right, people will lie and declare by majority rule you are wrong. If you are wrong, 100 years later (+/-), you will be seen to have been right. And so you see, I am no good at wondering.

We all wonder or we would not be breathing. Your lungs wonder, should I fill up? Your heart wonders, should I beat just one more time? The brain wonders. Do I send out sparks of awareness? Or should I flatline? Or drop back into REM....
It's all binary. To be or not to be.... it's that simple.

You're trying to get me to wonder what on earth you're talking about, but I won't give you that satisfaction. Nanny. Nanny. Besides, I didn't say I don't wonder, just that I'm no good at the sport. Or did I . . .

Well, this isn't what I was planning on doing with the stuff, but it was in the car rolling around so I wouldn't forget to pack it because I must go on the road. I must go on the road.
Anyway, the car smelled like the dog's bottom today. (Yeah, leslee, blame it on the dog.) We played, "Everybody out!" in the back seat and treated all with Clorox. I still have the stuff, but the shirts will be laundered. Oh, pooh!

an/or either/or
A clean car is always a good thing.
I'm actually thinking of getting a new dog on my trip. Orange County has a huge population of abandoned German Shepherds 
we'll see I guess.

Not intentionally, but in many instances my answer to the question in the thread title is, "Step on it."

Don't stomp the pick tins.... I'll happily take those off your hands. As I've said before, they make great "holders" for my sewing stash.

Egad yes, did we ever find that? Which reminds me, I need to make up a new sewing kit for the new car. You never know....

It's easy to lose a needle, a shoe a little harder, oh, yes, and glasses in the fountain, but surely the mind went first.

Just realizing how I had lost all that stuff in about 24 hours time, I was telling one of my coworkers about it. She said, "Oh, yeah. I remember you losing your shoe!" Unfortunately, that was a different shoe I lost, up in Chicago, same way. "I had two shoes when I got in the car!" You fans are great to put up with me.

I lost my mind somewhere along the highway long ago. Does that count?

Not to worry. Justin does that to everybody.

Mine is rolling around in the back of my wee little car. The bags, as I told Martha, really help keep organized in a roadster, and the shirts are helping postpone the laundry date until I get off my "bed rest" in a week or so.
As for the other stuff - I ought not give it to fans, for then they will not buy more. I ought not give it to Goodwill, for somebody will buy it for a couple bucks and post it to the dread Ebay to make a couple bucks and thus depreciate it. It seems the best idea I have to date is to burn it a la Smithian supply and demand. I mean, I don't live in a Camelot with a walk-in fireplace, a minstrel's gallery in the baronial hall, a secret passage up a spiral staircase from a larder in the kitchen to the wardrobe in one of the guest rooms, a studio, and a room I don't even know is there.
What say ye?

If you have a spare blanket, I'll take that. Or anything that's a "pick tin" etc... what do you have? I'm looking for another black coffee mug too, the one I have is very banged up.
I'll go through and catalog my spare stuff if you will, maybe we can swap.

The fact that plastic does not rot, and that you put the phrase in quotation marks has me very suspicious about "pick tins." I mean, would I have to serve time if I tried to mail them, and if I deliver them in person, one of us is likely to have to get on a plane with them.
I've heard from more than one source that the band does not like Ebay. If we do our own Mbay, are we being untrue to the spirit of the whatever?
Me have only one boggie, and me keeping it.
