So, what have you been up to these past few days, while I’ve been in Savannah, recording with the Monkey Power Trio? Did I miss anything interesting in Ypsi? How about where you are? What’s up?

We opened up our Dollar Record Store on Monday – and we had a great first week.
What a coincidence! My significant other and I went to Sidetrack and used your coupon today. Yum! Thanks, Mark!
We played a fun gig in Lansing Friday night. Punks vs. Pokes. Got home at 3 am.
I took an hour and 15 minutes spraying [an undisclosed location] and found/killed over 20 German Cockroaches hiding behind a handwashing sink. 9 am, Saturday.
I hung out with the inlaws all day, and briefly talked to OEC over the phone.
OEC is swamped and vicariously sends his thoughts through me, without him even having to ask or mention it at all. Probably.
We didn’t use the coupon (because we hadn’t planned on eating burgers), but we did have a great experience there last week.

I moved into my new million dollar suite.
Mark, You missed a great weekend in Ypsi.
On Friday, I used the Burger Coupon at a very crowded Sidetrack, we had to eat on a full back patio. Then I took advantage of the Art Walk Kickoff party at the ‘What is that?’ gallery. The addition is very nice and their choice in art is fantastic.
On Saturday, I took advantage of the Ypsilanti Songwriting Festival and watched 2 great performances (Paul Burch adn Jon Langford) sponsored by the Library at the Corner Brewery.
Today I would like to be on the Ypsilanti Community Bike Ride but other engagements are keeping me from it.
The President and I spent the weeeekend selling credit default swaps to people who may be parked under the new solar panels you’ll be installing on the back of City Hall in Ypsilanti … just in case. Hankie (Pankie) Paulson
I continue to wish that there would be some lively discussion of the Ypsilanti Third Ward City Council race here. Is Eller really a super-freaky conservative? How come I don’t like Murdock either? And who the heck is this third guy “Ted Windish?” So far I’m depressed about the possibilities. Any hot tips on write-ins?
OK, I’m back now. Thanks for taking care of Ypsi in my absence. And I appreciate your notes.
And, OK, Huckett, I’ll add a thread just for you.
I found out that guppies like to eat nail fungus.
I went on the Bike Ypsi fall ride and it was great — and I made it thru 17 miles! Those Bike Ypsiites really organized a great event: three levels of riding speed were offered and two loops (32 & 17 miles), the groups were all led by BY riders, there was a finish-line at the Corner Brewery with cheers & photos, a great map with all the participants’ locations push-pinned into it, a lit table, cool buttons, t-shirts & pins, educational materials on sharing the road, and much much more. All to be carefully perused over a Brasserie Blonde.
