The Devil was angry when this happened.
Native Americans describe its rising up as a way of rescuing a pair female Indians from a bear. The long vertical lines were formed by the bear scratching to claw his way to the top. The bear was unsuccessful.

We lost British musician Terry Reid.
Asked by Jimmy Page to be lead singer and guitarist for Led Zepplin, Reid turned down the offer and recommended both Robert Plant and John Bonham for Zepplin. Turned down Deep Purple as well.
Sited by many as an influence.

Went to Vegas a few weeks ago to see John Fogerty. We pulled back the curtains of our hotel and this was the view. I would have asked for a different room but there were no options!

I just did a Google search for a musician. The top result was not Wikipedia (I usually scan deeper) it was “AI generated”
Say No and don’t ever read the AI generated information. It’s one way we as consumers can keep employing Real People!
Big Tech is trying to force feed us….well I ain’t hungry.

So what is everyone up to?
I have 2 events with people (never met) I only know through Facebook.
My “friend” Ron has invited me to a garage jam not far from where I’m camping.
My second meetup with a gal who has invited me and friend to their Friendsgiving.
Say what you will about Facebook!
