Nothing Much Happened Today.

Yep. It happened.

“Colorado Springs Police say a patient behaving badly caused chaos in the emergency room of a northeast side hospital Monday evening (8/17/15).

The incident happened at around 6 p.m at St. Francis Medical Center, near the intersection of N. Powers Blvd. and E. Woodmen Rd. Police say Johnny Solis, 32, was being treated in the emergency room when he began acting up. They say he ‘menaced’ several members of the medical staff as well as several security guards with a metal T-Bar. They say he also knocked out several first floor ceiling tiles and then climbed into the rafters above the ER.

Police say Solis damaged plumbing and electrical systems while he was in the rafters.”

Saturday Matinee – Smooth Hound Smith, Justin Johnson & Cam Cole

Smooth Hound Smith were an Americana duo comprised of Zack Smith and Caitlin Doyle-Smith; their sound reminds me of Dan Hicks & The Hot Licks. After ten years of performing and recording, they closed up shop during The Great Covid Lockdown.  Apparently Z.G. Smith is now back in business.

Justin Johnson‘s unusual cover of Howlin’ Wolf fits my mood.

Cam Cole, busker, bluesman, rocker, recording artist, and “the most impressive one-man band you will ever see” has a new EP out, but this one is still my favorite.

Porch time is on schedule for tomorrow, so we’ll see you there.

The .Gif Friday Post No. 800 – Windows & Watermelons

[Found here and there.]

This is the 800th edition of the .Gif Friday Post, and that means there are approximately 2.4K embedded .gif animations in The Archives. It all began with this:

Some of the old .gifs stutter or freeze and no longer animate properly and I blame WordPress. Perhaps I’ll suss out the problem some day.
Or not.
