Yep. It’s Time Again to Wash Your ‘Pods.
Cold water, gentle cycle, no bleach, then line dry so they don’t shrink up. Cool iron only, no steam.
Wash them twice a year only, in March and August (it’s not too late for this season), and your hats should last a lifetime.
Better yet, have a ‘Pod Wash Party like we did last week. While the hats were drying, they cooled the patio as well. If you folks have had a ‘Pod Wash recently, post your stories in the comments. (Don’t be shy… just about everybody has at least one tale to tell!)

Saturday Matinee – Kill a ‘Dilla, Comma Song, Follow the Sun, Waiting on a Friend, Happy Boy
KillaDilla.
Jimmy Jones’ “Handy Man” cracked me up when I was a tad. I remember it as the “Comma Song.”
Del Shannon came a long way from 1961’s “Hats Off To Larry.” This song made it to Number 9 in November 1964.
This is one of the prettiest songs the Stones ever did, not that they were ever known for pretty.
And because my computer has been reborn and hasn’t thrown up in over 24 hours, here’s a repost of the late great Country Dick Montana & the Beat Farmers to sum up my current mental outlook.
Amazing Helicopter Photos from Afghanistan
The photos in Michael Yon’s blog are amazing, as are his stories posted from Afghanistan. I cropped the image above only for more detail in this post.

“We’re having leftovers for supper tonight. Okay with everyone?”
“Whaddya like: Ragoût de Tortue, Farcite Tartaruga or Tortuga tacos?”
Be sure to check the expiration dates.

TR Spoofed by VE
VE has been posting parodies of sites on his blogroll, and today is our roasting. More here.
Other news: The computer at TR Headquarters threw a fit over the weekend, and I spent most of Saturday trying every trick in the toolbox, occasionally getting it to boot without crashing, only to have it crash again. No virus detected, and resetting the system worked only temporarily.
Yesterday I took it into the hospital. I’m hoping that it’s nothing worse than a failed power supply.
[Update: The hospital called a while a go. Corrupted sectors on the hard drive. We’re talking reformat city. Crap.]
Saturday Matinee – ’65, ’66 & ’67
Folks, we had some odd computer problems today, so we had to throw this together at the last minute.
Hello Vancouver!
1965, Doug Sahm & the Sir Douglas Quintet.
1966 Yardbirds. That was the same year Dad bought a set of the World Book Encyclopedia. The cellophane inserts showing frog anatomy were very cool.
1967, crappy sound, but it’s the Blues Magoos.
1967, and Stephen Stills was only 22 in this video. I was into Big Daddy Roth and Mad Magazine. Oh, man. Seems like it was just February.
