HEY THERE!
Down in miami, doing miami stuff!
beach, pool, massage, repeat.
in between i work out and walk and eat stuff with quinoa in it.
i have to tell you about the melvins new record, tarantula heart.
if you hate metal, then stop reading this.
but you'd think after 40 years in the business Buzzo et al would not be inventing new stuff.
but the first song on this record ("pain equals funny" ) might be the greatest metal medley ever. i know i'm using the term "medley" incorrectly - but what to do you call a 20 minutes song with separate parts, each one classic?
you can get the album on iTunes. but i include the youtube link below.
again, if you're not into metal, you will find this abrasive and perhaps insane. so don't listen to it just to complain about how noisy and irritating it is. if you love metal and hard rock, this will be hit you in the face.
but for me its equal parts Stooges, Kiss and Hendrix, with Buzzo in front.
Congratulation to @Steve-allen. . Your questions were chosen for tonight’s Ask Greg and the Panelists.

What person did you realize that you totally misjudged after meeting them?
What is something stupid you did as a teenager that still scares you when you think about it?

I'm rewatching G! from Friday night cause I was ill on Saturday and kept dozing off
Anyway, on the Madison CRAZy hobo camp: It is not too far from the UW campus and school will be starting soon - in fact, I'll bet the Badgers have already started practice and, 151 is a pretty main road to get to downtown so......
No official shutdown or forced clearance has been executed by the city yet. However, Madison Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway issued a formal statement demanding that protesters voluntarily dismantle the barricades and vacate the area.
The occupation—variously dubbed the "Corey Ruiz Autonomous Zone" (CRAZ) or compared to Seattle's 2020 CHAZ—remains an active, evolving situation at the intersection of Williamson Street and South Baldwin Street.
Current Status of the Encampment
The Standoff: Protesters have barricaded a two-block radius with trash cans, wooden pallets, and nail-studded blockades following the fatal police shooting of Corey Ruiz.

Beavers ftw!

A family of beavers completed a $1.2 million wetland restoration while officials remained delayed by permits.
Officials in the Czech Republic spent seven years planning to block an old drainage channel and restore a wetland near a former military site. While permits and land negotiations delayed construction, beavers built several dams in nearly the same locations, retained water, recreated habitat naturally, and reportedly saved taxpayers around $1.2 million in projected costs.
