Did you have a birthday today, too?

Ah yes! September when all the best people are born.
401? I think Reyn is deliberately avoiding his birthday party thread. A shame, since the bar's just been opened.
401. I think we've reversed course, in the sense that minds were expected to expand in past decades. Now, we are asked to make them contract.
402. I think Mayor White got it right, when he charged that deregulation of electric is a rip-off that hits the poor much harder than necessary. One of his proposals is to roll back bills by 15%.
403. I think my wife is recovered now. She uses her arm the way she always did in the past. She says she may drop the rehab sessions after this week.
404. I think I caught a glimpse of what black people experience almost daily. I was in a woman's apartment with the Orkin man, a black American, when she began saying to me, as he listened from the kitchen, a few yards away, "I was raised never to be predjudiced, but, black people - '
As we walked away from there, the Orkin guy said, "I didn't want any part of that conversation." "I did what I could to change her perception," I replied.
405. I think we all need hugs tonight.
Glad to hear about your wife, Edgar. Glad she's healed.
I agree about the hugs.

??? Sorry, it's Thursdau morning when I read this. I worked last night and first chance I get to read it.
406. I think we meet so many sweet old ladies only because they are too old to make any more trouble.
407. I think I am getting past the time I need to be installing new floors. I repaired the sub floor on an apartment today. When I got behind the washer, to lay tile, the straining to work in such a tight space was a bit much.
408. I think the Bush administration is systematically seeking to deny the vote to voters most likely to support Democrats.
409. I think the TV show, "Friends," is so devoid of content, it boggles my head it was a hit for so long.
410. I think the Lex Luther on Smallville is the only good characterization I have seen of that villain.
Thanks for the happy birthday thread, Edgar!

i think that can be said for most shows made since the early 80's
and the some of the good ones go on to long
i think back to the holy trinity (IMO) of the 70's, all in the family, mash and barney miller
all very solid shows

Those are three of my personal favorites.
411. I think I need to change the CD in my truck. Been listening to Revolver five days straight.
412. I think I will quit watching the news a few days. Been watching the Nasa shootings ever since I got home.
413. I think I have made up my mind that a phased withdrawal from Iraq ought to be the next step.
414. I think cell phone use while driving ought to be in time of emergency only.
415. I think the Dixie Chicks may have the right politics. I haven't heard any records by them that caught my attention.

Is this The Beatles album? I remember having the LP as a teen. It's a goody.
Beatles, for sure. Here There and Everywhere, Ealinor Rigby, Yellow Submarine, She Said, I'm Only Sleeping, and so on. Not a clinker in the lot.
every bit as good as Rubber Soul.

It don't get no gooder than those two albums.
Aww, now you got me feeling all nostalgic and all....and just after having a birthday and all.
Man, that seems like a million years ago, those tunes!
Some of us never quit litening. We add new, but cling to the old.
