    Thank-you. It is just a vaping b-day. I have been floating around YouTube today. I don't have family so the holiday is bland, but I am getting caught up in veteran's activities in my new Colorado city. Kind of an emotional day and a few to come. I hope others like me are having stable days...

    I get an e-mail when someone posts a message and if I don't look at it, it no longer sends an e-mail. Sooo, it seemed like a very quiet weekend in the Saloon. I actually went in this morning and realized that there were three more pages of chat. Peace through this holiday week.

    I learned on the remake. But, I think the remake was more commercially pushed. Looking back, I think the cover was much more of a polished presentation, whereas the original was just an excellently lyrical product. There are a lot of evaluations to a song; lyrics, arrangement, vocals...

    I prefer the original, the vocals purer, and broader, and vocally of more control. Maybe it was my time. The harmony was strong, and the musical arrangement is more supportive. It was the days of beginnings..Simon & Garfunkel - The Sounds of Silence (Audio) - YouTube Not to say another isn't...

    I don't know that Post Offices, in the physical sense, are made for such an increase in online mail-order items. This is Christmas, too. Most Post Offices are designed for a once-a-day inbound and outbound; not all, but most. Sure, a post office can divide a route between a regular carrier...
