  1. You would think he was the only grandfather on earth the way some posts read. There's a 23 year difference between them; compare that to the 75 year difference between me and my grandfather, may he rest in peace.
  2. Recession blues; maybe if you focus on the closest, most affordable ticket you'll be able to turn it around.

  4. They might have some left for $250.00. Robert Plant and Alison Krauss Hot Seat Package
  5. No; we can refer them to resources for developing language skills, but we cannot require them to learn.
  6. ^^Words are not enough; thank you, Chell.
  7. I'm still wondering what Robert Plant's rendition of George Jones' sounded like.
  8. Yes; if you see an insane woman laughing herself silly all the way down the freeway listening to a country song, you'll know why. It's a cute song, though; George Jones recorded it in the late 80s as I recall. I think I might still have that tape in my car.
  9. Another guy who listens to this is one of my favorite songs to listen to when I'm stuck in traffic on the freeway or shopping for groceries; yee haw. I wonder when Robert Plant's version will show up on youtube.
  10. Ted hunting deer is probably less painful than their natural predators, which would be wolves, mountain lions, bears, and coyotes. It would be different if deer were an endangered species, but with the overpopulation of deer threatening the ecological balance and increasing the risk of disease to humans, and the lack of natural predators, which are sometimes endangered species, it becomes necessary to allow hunting and to educate hunters on the best practices. I think the trend is going toward raising awareness among hunters of the overall ecology, including endangered species so they will be better at what they do well, and stop doing anything detrimental to the ecology or unnecessarily inhumane to animals. But it's okay if Jimmy leaves the hunting of deer to Ted, as deerhunting has not yet become compulsory for all guitarists. Much of the love of hunting comes with a passion for the outdoors, much as photographers also share. But if a mama bear suddenly charges you in defense of her cubs, it's a matter of life and death for you all of a sudden. That is when someone with skill to immediately fire a warning shot ahead of the attack to scare mama bear into retreat keeps everyone, humans and bears, happy and alive. Who could you reasonably rely on to react sufficiently to keep you alive in the event of an unforeseen bear attack, the hunter or the photographer? Maybe the flash from a camera might cause a bear to retreat, but what if that fails? You still have that bear heading straight at you, and she doesn't stop and ask questions. She sees you as a threat to her cubs and an intruder in her territory, and acts accordingly, making short work of you if allowed to do so. I guess you could defend yourself with a guitar, but you might sustain some damage from bear claws and teeth using that method. Fortunately, Ted has already done his target practice and would have good aim on that bear if it became necessary to preserve you from an attack, and would have more than a camera or a guitar at his disposal. If you must rely on someone to defend you from a bear attack, will it be the one with excellent aim proven in target practice, or the person with diminished capacity related to drug use? In that situation, I'm guessing even Jimmy Page would choose the practiced hunter's immediate, correct reaction. Admittedly, if the bear were to lethally attack you, and you were painfully suffering through your last moments, Jimmy Page's knowledge of the use of painkillers would come in handy.
  11. And when deer overpopulate, they get sick and die in numbers that can jeopardize the ecosystem with too many dead carcasses capable of spreading disease into the water supply via local rivers and streams. They also suffer from malnutrition and starvation if their numbers grow too large. Deer also carry ticks, which can infect humans with Lyme disease. In Michigan, the grey wolf and mountain lion (cougar) are both endangered species. So two of the natural predators that would normally hunt the deer population and maintain the natural ecological balance in Michigan are dwindling in numbers. Endangered and Threatened Species
  12. I'm beginning to feel like a human vacuum just sucking up pictures of Robert Plant.
  13. Thank you for the photos. This opening night seems to have gone rather well.

  15. And is often pumped full of hormones and fed on corn instead of grass, producing a fattier meat of poorer quality that contributes to disease. He lives on a ranch in the country, not suburbia. He was recognized by the state of Michigan as the Conservationist of the Year in 1999; he is also a Certified Hunter Safety Instructor and International Bowhunter Education Foundation Instructor. His grocery store is primarily the wilderness, and the other stores are complementary; meat is much fresher taken directly from the wild, and he knows how to safely and properly handle hunting weapons to the point where he is certified to teach others. His food is mostly pure and unprocessed, and he is recognized as a conservationist. When he brings home a bird for his Thanksgiving table in November, it will be fresh, probably more so than what you would find at the supermarket. You can criticize Ted for many things, but he has got the grocery problem solved. He's not that bad of a provider. He's a nut, I realize that, but he's not entirely wrong. Hunting is one thing he does right. He has nearly complete control over the quality of the meat that goes on his table, unlike a customer at McDonald's. As long as he brings food home for the table that does not go to waste, I have no problem with his methods, which appear to be superior. Not that I condone his bad attitude about Jimmy Page or his mishandling of a chainsaw. Pan-Roasted Venison with Creamy Baked Potato and Celeriac I always say a prayer for the deer who gave so much.
  16. How does he do that? oh dear
  17. If you ever needed protection from a Styrofoam bear, you would be in good shape at Ted's house. Mama Bear Attack
  18. I believe you are correct, yet Robert Plant sang them anyway.
  19. For the most part the difference is the meat is fresher taken from unspoiled wilderness, rather than processed by McDonald's. Ted has a skill as a hunter and gatherer. Jimmy has a different set of talents, equally as important. Both are individuals who matter. Each has his own weaknesses and strengths. Jimmy Page has adjusted. Nothing in this world is perfect forever, so there are always challenges. I ask myself, in a hypothetical situation, in the wilderness where there is no doctor available for days, what would happen if a woman suddenly, prematurely went into labor, began to give birth, and it became soon apparent that the birth would not be a normal one, to the point where a Caesarian section would be required for her to survive. She is alone in the wilderness with only Jimmy and Ted to help her. They don't have time to reach a doctor. How do you think Jimmy and Ted would deal with that hypothetical? From his exposure to drugs, Jimmy knows about painkillers. From his hunting experience, Ted knows how to cut and clean animals. But this hypothetical situation of a woman giving birth in the wilderness would require a meeting of the minds, and a healthy outcome is the goal. By the way, they are still going to need that cell phone to call a doctor to get quick how to advice over the phone.
  20. I am very happy to know that even today, the lyrics of Led Zeppelin remain relevant.
  21. Carolyn Jessop wrote a memoir, Escape, about her life within the FLDS sect.
