I saw the Dave Rawlings Machine last night. Look them up. They're great. And check out who plays the mandolin for that band . . . John Paul Jones. Yes, THAT John Paul Jones. Pretty cool. Apparently it was my summer to see rock and roll legends in Missoula.

Anyway.

  • A game happened yesterday between the Stars and Blues. It didn't count. But results happened, even if the game wasn't televised or available via web stream outside of Texas.
