Re: Alpine

Except...there are now discussions Alpine will be bypassed again in favor of a Minneapolis stop in September. As always, don't believe those who claim to be in the know as they don't always know, but are just wishing really, really hard.

Unless Chicago is dropped like Alpine was in 2005? Not saying it would happen, but it's possible.

I've used an inverter from my truck box power plug, and in order to keep the appliance running smoothly, the truck has to be running as well. I'd say the weed whacker blender or the cordless drill version would be the best way to go.

I guess I must admit that there is a pretty strong resemblance, but no one has a look quite like Jimmy. He is a complete package that takes in attitude as well as appearance. I am sure this fellow is fine at what he does, but doesn't quite capture the mishcheivous look of Bubba which adds so much t...

Oh yes he do

Met Tom once when he was doing a show for us...the resemblance is pretty amazing. The pictures on his site don't do him justice. And does it matter if he isn't from Florida? Go with the best choice, not the fifth-best choice who happens to live down the street.

Buffett stand-in chosen

And it's Tom Watt, the Buffett Man. Tom, from Pennsylvania, just happened to be in Florida doing some shows and, with a little boost from his friends, got the part in the movie. Way to go, Tom!!!

I enjoyed reading it. The article shows she took a bit of time to give her observations about Radio Margaritaville. She kinda rides the fence. It was an interesting read, for sure. I do hope the cynical tone isn't a part of her everyday life though. She seems to be quite the talented writer. One th...

Interestingly enough...

My company is sending me to Seattle from Minnesota this week, so I got online and got a ticket for the Auburn, WA showing...serendipitous, no? Now, I just hope we're done with work in time for me to get to the theatre. I haven't spent a lot of time in Seattle.

You'd think USA Today would at least be able to spell Buffett's name correctly :roll: . Good news none the less. I sent an e-mail to the reporter, and he was extremely apologetic. Spelling was correct in the printed version of the paper, but not the online version. It seems the online editors used ...
