My last comment was a follow up to Plook’s spit check comment, I was certainly not being serious.
The irony of that Zappa song is that nobody on this planet took themselves more seriously than Zappa. If not, there would be no Zappa.

Plus Plus on that one. Maybe Zappa needed the release from composing things like Dupree's Paradise and Herb &Mo's Vacation (which of course the
title was a dig at Herb Cohen & Mo Austin).
But he had also done zanny tracks from way back in Studio Z

Well, according to FZ, it was all the same, whatever the genre he was writing. I'm inclined to agree as I feel the same way about my own music. The
problem with current pop is that it is just bland, over produced shit. You can't say that about songs like Should We Take Ourselves Seriously. These
days the entire music industry is caught up with bland, over produced shit. Back in the seventies it had to share equal space with bands like Ayers
Rock, Mackenzies Theory, Galapagos Duck, Crossfire et al. Of course there are a lot of pop type bands with tolerable music, but they can't get music
business contracts so they're doing it hard, self publishing or whatever.

It’s a Plook on Tour Golf & Stuff
Went golfing 2 weeks ago and we had a 2 ½ hour frost delay, the drive was clear and cold at dawn…
Golf Henge was aligned…
Burrrr…
Then the sun came out and it was nice…
I made a Taco Omelet it came out good…
Last week there was no frost delay but it never got out of the low 40’s…
A heron was sunning in the sand trap on a par 3…
Winnie is trying to figure out what is going on next door…
While Minnie snuck into my golf bag pulled out all the practices balls and found a couple she wanted…
I found this picture of downtown Los Angeles when I flew there in September…
And finally for some humor…

On Dec 11 2023 we had a storm here early morning and our power was out for fifteen and a half hours. A stressful experience, but 5G internet was still
available and my laptop has a super battery life, so it wasn't too bad. Plus of course my musical instrument practice doesn't require electricity,
well, until it gets dark. A lot of people in South Australia lost their power for than 24 hours - that would test me, no doubt.

Internet was down too and the cell towers went into conserve mode so you could not hit the internet on your phone.
I had a fence down that I had to fix went to Lowes and it seemed like everyone was buying material to fix a fence.
Pool was loaded with tree debris and front and side yards were covered so I cleaned them all.
Someone about 5 streets up from my street was killed by a falling tree and Kats daughters friend and her mother were driving and a tree fell on the
back of their brand new SUV fortunately they were unhurt.
The mountains got 5 feet of snow overnight and we got 3 inches of rain in about 4 hours.
So Cal got ripped also and they declared a state of emergency and put out a stay home order to allow clean up crews to do their thing.
The spark arrestor got ripped off the top of my chimney and anything that wasn't nailed down was going for a ride.
My dog Minnie isn't scared of anything she wanted out to investigate every noise, Kat said it is the only dog she every saw that ran towards
fireworks...lol
Poor Winnie has PTSD and it was so sad how frightened she was, I had to get on the floor and hug her for some time and it ain't easy for this old man
to get on the floor or get back up for that matter...

Our storm did do a lot of damage, but luckily very little near me. For the previous equally massive one, I had to make a significant insurance claim
for damage to our back veranda, but on no occasion, Plook, have I been through what you describe.

We may no longer be able to get insurance in California after this, many insurance companies dropped out and most will not insure people in certain
areas especially fire prone areas. I herd they expect that damages across the state will reach 12 Billion...
