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.
I will post pictures of the final product soon, after I wiped the grease off my phone.
@derrickhhurd what is the formula of your success? How has it changed over the years?

They are a common type of irregular heartbeat, or arrhythmia, where an extra heartbeat originates in one of the heart’s lower chambers (the ventricles) instead of following the heart’s normal electrical pathway.”
My stunning, blushing bride has PVCs. She has had them for years, they come and go.
About 14 years ago she went to a Cardiologist and they had her wear a ‘heart halter’ for several days, in order to count them.
The PVCs eventually subsided so she didn’t require any surgical correction.
They are quite common, as up to 75% of people have them in one form or another. They only become an issue when they occur to close to each other.
That, along with her low pulse is what freaked out the Physicians Assistant she had gone to see.
We eventually got to see a real doctor, and he checked all of her vitals. By that time her pulse ...
Finally, an airline with a spine, would like to see all the airlines follow this: Could you imagine the schitt dem congressmembers would get waiting in line for hours from the public!?
Delta Air Lines has suspended "specialty services" and VIP treatment for members of Congress, treating them instead like regular passengers based on their frequent-flyer status, according to news reports from March 24, 2026.
Key details of this decision include:
Reason: The decision is a direct response to the partial shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which has caused staffing shortages and long security lines at airports.
Suspended Perks: Lawmakers will no longer receive airport escorts, "Red Coat" services, or special assistance for seating, upgrades, or rebooking.
What Remains: A dedicated phone line for reservations, known as the "Capital Desk," will remain open, but they will not get special treatment at airport checkpoints.
CEO Reaction: Delta CEO Ed Bastian expressed frustration that...
