We're doing all this posting to please ourselves and certain people and then the nicest things happen.
Thank you for that reverie, neebee.
My heart's cockles warm when friends compliment and complement at the same time.
I'd like to say to anyone on the TACO that if you have something to share, please toss it into the bonfire here.
This isn't just a little campfire thingie--it's DE FLAMES, and flames will take anything and everything, eventually.

I've been asked about my Taco Sauce.
It uses basic ingredients, and I believe some vinegar is essential, but it's mostly the care with which the ingredients are prepared which makes it so tangy and piquant.
We have a master trail cook hereabouts who has her own wonderful recipes for the same, but I don't think I ever tasted no vinegar!
How's she do that?
She has the services of a sous-chef who works for free and knows some carpentry besides.
Lives on figs and dates, too.

Why wasn't Mickey present, though?

One of neebee's hey there say "no problem" problems.
I'm a firm believer in dreamcatchers. And their efficacy.
It's literally all in the mind.
The rest is up to you.

Dream, dream, dream..."

Because Bill Dolt Reuferferaux was stationed at Castle AFB he's a local climber from even before I got here. So now that I've had the experience of meeting his little unsung darling daughter and got to see her first exposure to Yosemite and a view of Arrowhead Arete in the early morning light, and now having read (well, I read part of it, I'm saving the rest for dawn, believe it or not), I felt this should be said, but I wrote it instead. Say it, sing it to the tune of Sam Stone. And remember, little pitcher, big ears.
THE LOCAL HERO
Daddy must have suffered.
Well, sweet songs hardly last.
It's the sadder ones which seem like they endure.
Wish he hadn't buffered
All the lost joy in his past:
His pain he stilled because he'd found no cure.
All The Best, PurpleBee.
You've been through the worst.
And so the morning breaks like two black rubber tires.
You'll get to be free
From your deep down thirst
And find that damned key to your inmost desires.
"Let's see. That's breaking traction, exhibition of speed, doing way over the limit all the way back to Crane Flat, erratic manipulation at high speed, and failure to signal...um, ten times, easy...and what's that white substance in the bag? Are you by chance a rock climber?"--excerpt from Tales of Piss Fir Willie, Ch. 12/An Odd Traffic Stop
InTO THE WILD DOLT YONDER
Here's a toast to the host
Of those who love the vastness of the sky!
Minds of men fashioned a crate of thunder,
Sent it high into the blue;
Off we go into the wild sky yonder,
Keep the wings level and true;
If you'd live to be a grey-haired wonder
Keep the nose out of the blue!
(Out of the blue, Dolt!)
We live in fame or go down in flame. Hey!
Nothing'll stop the U.S. Air Force!
This is what is considered to be the "odd verse" in The U.S. Air Force, which song used to be titled as Army Air Corps, by Robert M. Crawford.
The third verse ("Here's a toast...") has a different melody, and a more reverent mood than the rest of the song to commemorate those who have fallen in the service of the Air Force and the United States.
This verse is sometimes performed independently of the other verses. The third verse is sung by itself as the Air Force Academy's alma mater after most Academy sporting events. Most notably, it is sung after games against rivals Army and Navy, when the teams combine to participate in the singing of both Academies' alma maters.
The third verse is also traditionally sung by Academy cadets and graduates to honor the passing of a fellow cadet or graduate.
Semper doltishness!
Semper farcissimus!
Semper Mort Hempel!

i got a bird that whistles, i got a bird that spys
From stratospheric capability to "nano" technology: DARPA is sponsoring research in a new class of surveillance craft that mimics biology. The challenge: a two-wing flapping aircraft capable of controlled, precision hovering and fast-forward flight, like a hummingbird. Unlike a real bird, AeroVironment's Nano Hummingbird also carries a video camera.
The hand-made prototype has a wingspan of 6.5 inches, and has a total flying weight of 2/3 ounce -- less than the weight of an AA battery

Show me a fly that can do the Bird.
Show me a bird that can do the Fly.
Show me a bird that doesn't whistle when it's flying at sub-sonic speeds.
Didja see that? Didja hear that?
Tommy?
