Lovely gazelle, DR ChasSmith - though, as you say, she doesn't appear to be dancing. Yet.
I hear fireworks off and on all summer. Especially this week, of course, but quite a bit through the Memorial Day and Labor Day weeks, and even at other times. I think it's because I live near a lake and people like to whoop it up there. They're just distant enough, though, that they aren't bothersome, and I rather welcome them as some of the "nice" sounds of summer.
I think I am becoming MAXINE or at least the crabby old lady neighbor.

DR elmore3003 - that's not a commercially released CD, is it?
Can't they stop people from setting off their own fireworks? I've never heard of such a thing here. I don't think anybody does that.
TOD:
CD: 1970s disco and pop compilation
Hmmm...guess that is about it.
I need to get out of here for awhile.

Good morning, all.Yesterday felt like Saturday, and today kind of feels like Friday/Saturday/Sunday.
Yesterday felt like a Sunday, and today feels like a Monday. But...
Happy Friday, all!
That's a long slow slog DR DRUXY.
So, BK, ever thought of going disco and releasing the "Goodbar" soundtrack? It's out of print and outrageously priced on amazon.

They are legal to buy here, but not legal to set off in most cities around Phoenix. But there is no way to enforce it, really.
She didn't know it was illegal to have a fire when the wind is over 15 miles per hour and she does have a screen to put over it (also code). Hopefully this will take care of it. She didn't apologize for sicking her dog on me, but I didn't get bit, so I'm not that concerned about it. And if someone was ranting and raving as they came toward my house...like I was...if I had a dog I'd do the same thing.
I feel for you, DR Cillaliz. Although I live on the 4th floor, the smoke from the smokers wafts into all of my windows as I am just above the area where smokers accumulate.
Smoking is not allowed in the apartment building, but it is allowed in the area to the right of the entrance or on the roof top garden.
Usually cigarrette smoke does not bother me much if I am just walking past a smoker...but for some reason, once the smoke has risen to the fourth floor is smells very stale and yuckky...and of course once it is in my apartment, there is no escaping it.
This is probably karma coming back at me for the years that I was a smoker and fouled the air all around.
Oh, TCB, there you go again. What in the hell would DR John G. want with a quarter of a million dollars?
I used to have the LOOKING FOR MR GOODBAR soundtrack on Cassette! Wonder where it is...but yes a CD would be nice. Not crazy about the movie....but it is certainly sort of a time capsule of a specific time...
Oh please, Jane, it sounds exciting to me. I went to Safeway.
The crew at the fireworks show got hurt last night.
The display blew up on the ground. Do not know what happened or who went to the hospital.
:(

ARG! Last night there were fireworks going off until after 2:00 AM. Now, if it was just one night a year, I could go along with that, but I've been hearing them for over a week now. AND some yahoo in the neighborhood had a fire so thick I literally had to check my attic to see if the house was on fire. This just stinks.

I blew my stack. The minute I opened my windows she started another fire. I marched down there, she let her dog off the leash to come and bark at me. I could tell it wasn't going to bite. She wasn't willing to work with me so I told her I was going to get the hose and shoot it down the hill at her house. Of course I wasn't going to do that, but I was pretty ticked. I came home and called the fire department to see what kind of fire they can have. She wasn't being illegal, but my house was still filling with smoke. While I was on the phone she came over to work it out.
She said when she likes something she tends to go overboard and that she doesn't really have to have a fire every day and every night. I told her I let things build up and then sort of explode. She said she noticed. She has to mow a strip across the street from me and I told her I'd take care of that for her if she worked with me on the fire. So she said how about she'll do fires at night and not during the day. It's not ideal but at least I can get some fresh air. And, since she wasn't being illegal there's nothing I can do about it
I'm sorry, Cillaliz. Good neighbors are a true blessing. I hope your neighbor understands your point of view and becomes a good neighbor.

She has a fire every day and every night because she is used to living in an apartment where she couldn't do that and now she has a house and loves having fires. She admitted that she has been excessive about it and can easily back off. Right now I'm going to wait and see. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt for awhile
Hmmm not sure what I'm going to do for dinner.

Do you have a neighborhood association? Or, are there zoning laws that affect such things? While it may be legally permissible to have a fire in a fire pit, there must also be exceptions to the permission when the smoke from the fires adversely affect the neighbors.

How about some smoked meat?
DR Jennifer, across the river from us is South Dakota where fireworks are legal for a certain time period. So, people just have to go across the river an buy them. There are really too many for the police to enforce. They don't really even try, which everyone knows, so no one is afraid to get them and shoot them off
The neighbor has a strip of grass across from my house she has to mow. She didn't know and someone turned her in to the weed police. She got a notice that she had to clear it or they would and charge her for it. She thought I did it. She heard me talking to the neighbor and realized I didn't. I even told her I'll mow it now that it's been mowed down and will be easy to maintain. That sort of caught her off guard and I think she really will try to work with me.
She has to take a mower up a big hill round the corner and down. It would be a pain in the butt. I just have to go across the street and mow two small strips

You also can only burn certain kinds of wood, which I'm not sure she's doing. I'm pretty confident she'll follow through. I was less sure until we talked about mowing, her entire attitude changed in one second

When I was growing up we just went to Culver City, hometown of DR Jeanne, for fireworks. It was rather silly that they were legal down the road and not where we lived.

I guess I'd better pack for my quick trip to Buffalo tomorrow morning.

What is quick, a day or longer?
That is lovely, DR Jane!
Even if it is only off the Internet. :)
Oh, I love Dragonflys! Can't even remember the last time I saw one in real life. Don't see critters like that very often, living in the concrete jungle as I do.
Oh DR KevinH is shuffling off to Buffalo!
Or did someone already post that? I am so tired and exhausted I don't know if I thought to post that because I had just read it or if it just came to me out of the (murky) blue!
We have a variety of Dragonflies at the pond. We only have one Common Whitetail male that I only occasionally see. I think it is beautiful. I pulled this off the internet.

Went out with friends after work and ate too much. The last course was something called a Nutty D'Angelo: a scoop of ice cream wrapped in white chocolate. Then the server sauteed butter, brown sugar, pecans, cinnamon and nutmeg together before adding brandy and setting the sauce on fire. Then he poured it over the ice cream. Quite dramatic. Onlly problem: He did it too quickly and the sugar wasn't dissolved. So it was a little gritty.

Did you explain what he did wrong?
I'm in something of a dream rut. Fortunately, I haven't been bothered with negative dreams lately (knocking wood as I type that), and indeed most of them seem to have something definitely positive or at least interesting about them. But I can't quite bring them back, once awake. At best, I get only a brief image of them through the day, which refuses to flesh itself out and reveal itself. And there's ALWAYS something about whatever the activity is that plays out in some kind of abstraction, that I can't even remember well enough to describe to myself, let alone anyone else.

Can I just get the money and not have to do the work?

Friday evening greetings from HOME! We had a smooth drive from Normal, IL, and are glad to be here.
Well, now that I''ve seen both German and French versions of "Threepenny Opera," I can say the director missed the point. Entirely. But they're both still fascinating museum pieces. And it's great to see Lenya sing "Pirate Jenny."

DR elmore3003 - that's not a commercially released CD, is it?
No, and I wish it were. I have a very snap-crackle-pop mp3 of the cast LP and I'd love to hear it with no extraneous noises. The cast is good, and I prefer Cheryl Kennedy to Betty Buckley (I'd prefer you to Betty Buckley!, DR singdaw). The British cast also has more of the score than the OBC.
