Yup, nice one that Rhodes Kroma emulation.
But man, 140 mph, that's some serious blow.

I haven't heard of that much blow since Studio 54 closed.

Still lots of fun going on. Winds down but the water keeps coming. Roads are closed in and out of many places due to floods but also sink holes and the highways crumbling away. Truck got swallowed in one of them and several fatalities in the region. Quite scarry to see this much flooding and angry rivers over their banks.
 
Sad thing is that these floods never happened a few decades ago until we clear cut mountains of forrest around the rivers. Now nothing to hold it back.
 
Big thing is the local communities to the west of here are isolated from contact by the roads in and out destroyed. Get to go and volunteer some service work maybe.
 
Stay dry everyone...

Interesting how supply and demand works in this good ol' capitalistic economy...Long live the USA...
 
Visited ground zero of the trapped communities. Families driving their vehicles up to a long parking lot on the side of the road short of deadly sink holes. Then walking around the impass with plastic bags to get food from the only two markets south of the obstruction. They cannot drive to town where everything is wet but business as usual.
 
Seems prices have radically changed. Went in to the grocery store fully taking advantage of the crisis. Single wilted roma tomatoe $2. They got a fire sale of $1.50 per small potato though, and you can get a less than prime orange for a dollar. You could not afford anything else. Under the conditions, they can't make a case for selling water. Owners happy about the increase in business now that they got everyone hostage.
 
What have we become...

No small potatoes. Reminds me of that so-called electrolyte water I once bought in Boston for $5. Made me jump around for a while because I hadn't checked its price. Electrolyte indeed.

They just sell that water to the "euro goomers" that show up on holiday.

And to us poor MIT students.

Edith says: nerds, you mean.

Electrolyte water is a bunch of hype, but unfortunately has a hi pressure marketing strategy behind it.
 
Was however far more inspired by a hi pressure marketing strategy for bottled water that I ran into in the late 1970's.  Better than anything the advertisers have come up with now days, but maybe they should try this.
 
My job had me running around the communist bloc, East Germany behind the Berlin Wall, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, etc, etc.
 
Was on a train in East Germany and really dried out thirsty with no obvious source of drinkble water around.
 
Train stopped at a terminal and there was a drinking fountain right outside my window.
 
Tried to step off the ramp to get a drink and was impaled with a machine gun in my gut.
 
Tried to explain I was only wanting a drink of water. The soldier rammed the gun deeper into my ribs. Said if you want water, get back on the train and buy water.
 
Got back on the train with bruised ribs. Never bought anything though. Just dehydrated away until I reached Yugoslavia and could drink from the local river.

That soldier was Bassdaddy's father, aka BassGranddaddy! Yet I forgive his Eastern euro roots and dehydrating behavior, as he originates from the land of Johann Sebastian Bach.
I once visited all these little German towns and villages where Bach lived, from Eisenach to Köthen. Even Weimar, so close to Buchenwald. When I got to Leipzig, I knew I had to forgive them in a way. They gave me Bach. No other people ever came near.

Congrats on the new job there John.
 
Now, isn't it about time you gave your 2 week notice? 
 
Come on...you know you waaannaa!
 
I mean, sure you could buy some more VSTs, etc. but then when will you find the time and energy to do any recording?
