Listener comments!
	🧩 3:00pm Handy Haversack: Semi-Skeleton Scott and the Wednesday Wonderfuls!
	3:00pm ami ad: Hello DJ. Hello all.
	3:01pm Bas NL: Hello Scott and randomizers!
	3:01pm Krys O.: Greetings! Shuffle or not to shuffle.
	3:01pm ami ad: Handy Haversack, how goes it? How's the weather up north?(bk)
	🧩 3:01pm chresti: Hi Scott and company!
	3:01pm Carmichael: Heya Scott. Trying to figure out which button to push.
	🧩 3:02pm LastWhiteRhino: It's very Scott and Humid today !
	🧩 3:03pm Handy Haversack: Hey, ami ad! Pretty brutal up here. Confined to quarters today and yesterday. Hoping for a little better news tomorrow. How are things your way? I am extremely hopeful that pressing the Random button will help get me a good view of the Shard.
	3:03pm steveo: Greetings, earthlings. Take me to your leader.
	3:05pm Carmichael: It will be 108 here on Friday, Handy.
	3:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...just the way it's Scott to be...
	3:06pm steveo: 108 Kelvin? Brrr.
	🧩 3:07pm Handy Haversack: Carmichael, I often yearn for a Slartibartfast ethics. I want someone around to leave a note telling me which would probably be the best button to press. In the case of the forecast, it's the Stay Inside button, I have to imagine. I was just reading about the history of apples in California. I'll just leave that here.
	3:07pm ami ad: Handy Haversack, sitting here, avoiding the outside. Sun up and shiny in these parts of town. Stay cool.
	3:09pm Krys O.: @Handy: I recall hearing that apple cider was preferred over water in the 19th century. Drinking untreated water could result in various diseases.
	3:10pm Krys O.: Let's hear it for DVD-ROM! (crickets....)
	3:11pm The Oscar: Afternoon! I, for one, am fully and unironically ready for DVD nostalgia to begin.
	3:11pm steveo: Twenty-six two thousand for president!
	3:11pm Krys O.: I could wax poetic about the differences between CAV and CLV Laserdiscs if you are having difficulty getting to sleep.
	🧩 3:11pm Handy Haversack: I am reading a history of cider, so I have a lot to say about it, Krys! But yes, cider was a massively present drink in colonizing and expanding United States, and Prohibition and then the mechanization and industrialization of food production really did a number on it.
	3:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...whose cider you on anyhows...
	🧩 3:13pm Handy Haversack: Everybody's asking, Rev Rab!
	3:13pm steveo: Mark Bittman told me that Johnny Appleseed was all about the cider
	3:13pm βrian: When I was a youn'un doing a year abroad, I would routinely order cidre, having no idea it was alcoholic. I thought I just had a good disposition.
	3:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...best to get on the right cider History...
	3:14pm Krys O.: @The Oscar: I recall that Sony & Phillips formed an alliance to counter the DVD format that Toshiba & Warner were foisting. Don't ask me who won though. I blotted it out of my memory of working at a Laserdisc distributor. I still have dozens of LDs.
	3:14pm βrian: One bushel of peaches spread out to ripen. Oh boy.
	3:15pm Carmichael: Handy, read about the history of the marionberry in Oregon. It movie-worthy.
	3:16pm Carmichael: *It's
	3:16pm eva: not funny
	3:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I thot Berry was Marrion in Washington...
	3:17pm βrian: Hey, is this what's her name's older brother?
	3:17pm Carmichael: Amanda, he he
	3:17pm The Oscar: @Krys O Not sure if it's the same thing, but I do remember the ill-fated DIVX format, which I believe were single-use disposable "rental" DVDs. A staggeringly bad idea that I can't believe made it to stores.
	3:17pm βrian: Yes, thank you.
	3:18pm Carmichael: It could be Bob Goldthwait.
	3:18pm Krys O.: @The Oscar: " In the same year, two new optical disc storage formats were being developed. One was the Multimedia Compact Disc (MMCD), backed by Philips and Sony (developers of the CD and CD-i), and the other was the Super Density (SD) disc, supported by Toshiba, Time Warner, Matsushita Electric, Hitachi, Mitsubishi Electric, Pioneer, Thomson, and JVC. By the time of the press launches for both formats in January 1995, the MMCD nomenclature had been dropped, and Philips and Sony were referring to their format as Digital Video Disc (DVD).[14][15] The Super Density logo would later be reused in Secure Digital."
	3:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...a soothing Cider pairs well with a good VocalFry...
	3:20pm YETI BOB: DIVX discs kept track of how many times you watched them and turned off after a certain number of views, unless you paid extra to renew. It was not successful.
	3:21pm steveo: Blasting out the hits today, sir.
	🧩 3:22pm Ken From Hyde Park: Howdy, Scott and button buddies!
	🧩 3:23pm chresti: Pushing the "star" button..
	3:23pm Scott Williams: Welcome, friends and sweaters!
	3:23pm YETI BOB: Pushing the "This is awesome but I'm too frazzled to handle it right now" button
	🧩 3:27pm chresti: It's a warm in the sun 84 F in San Gabriel, CA, 90s tomorrow and beyond. Fairly dry at 44%.
	3:29pm ryansterlingvirtue: Love this band
	3:34pm steveo: Endust put out a surprising number of excellent albums
	3:36pm βrian: "Turn on the cool-cool for Baby."
	🧩 3:36pm Handy Haversack: We swelters. K8 just released a song called "Swelter" -- so I guess there's a chance this is all her fault!
	3:36pm βrian: 72 degrees in Madison, yo.
	3:37pm bk845: Ok, so that whole "turn the heat on" thing was for cars that were prone to overheating (back in the 70s). The hyopthesis was that you could help keep the engine cooler by running the interior heat, which would blow cooler air over the heater core.
	3:38pm jan: Editing videos to this program- what a sound track. Loved the 1st set!
	3:42pm Carmichael: 70s cars used a 2nd radiator as the heater. So the idea was, if your car runs hot, turn the heat on to double cool the engine. And make you hotter ...
	3:43pm steveo: negative 297 on the dark side of the moon, βrian
	3:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: HBD Ringo ! ...he wasn't on this...
	🧩 3:44pm Handy Haversack: I am pretty sure I had to do that in the aughts in an early-nineties car? steveo, will it cool off there after the storms move through?
	3:45pm The Butterman: Nobody puts Baby in the corner!
	3:45pm The Oscar: Ah, classic Golden Throats material!
	3:46pm Krys O.: Matt Monroe-ish.
	3:46pm Scott Williams: how weird that he used the bell from Mother to intro She's Leaving Home!
	3:48pm Krys O.: I thought it was going to be Asylum Choir's Thieves in the Choir.
	3:48pm bk845: @Carmichael glad to see someone else is familiar with the idea:)
	3:50pm Carmichael: I'm old, bk ... 😮
	3:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Neat-o Stereo Drums. Shoulda called themselves the Not Alice Cooper Group... SW - otoh - Lennon's & Macca's mothers' deaths do form a subtext of a good %age of their stuff - one might hypothesize...
	3:52pm ChukAmok: @bk845 Had to do that in a van full of folks while on tour in the west in the summer of '02. Switched out the alternator probably three times before we learned that two of the six pistons had fused to the inside of the engine.
	3:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Also ! 'Mother' was not released until late 1970 !
	3:56pm Scott Williams: RevRab, RIGHT! wtf???
	3:58pm The Butterman: Oh shut, I thought this was Tony Rice and Norman Blake at first.
	4:01pm Bas NL: Love this Bagounou!
	4:01pm headcleaner: this is perfect for the weather, Scott
	🧩 4:03pm Handy Haversack: Work done. Now drink. Hear sounds.
	4:04pm Pas Musique: Hello Fellow Aliens!
	4:07pm steveo: There is no dark side in the moon, really, Handy
	🧩 4:15pm karlward: steveo: matter of fact it's all dark
	🧩 4:15pm I k e: Love it!
	🧩 4:15pm karlward: ChukAmok: what do you think about "Matter of Fact It's All Dark" for a song title?
	🧩 4:17pm Handy Haversack: B-side could be "Light It Up (the Moon)!"
	4:20pm steveo: Karl, true
	4:22pm steveo: Asha
	4:23pm βrian: But the moon does have an evil twin, I hear.
	4:28pm JG: I love Wednesday afternoons
	4:29pm The Oscar: Damon was a regular at the record store I worked at-- really nice and interesting dude (and they're still together AFAIK!)
	4:29pm ChukAmok: Karl and Handy I like both of those ideas.
	4:31pm Rob (Jerzcity): Holy craps! I used to live in the Camden, Rockport, Rockland , ME area!
	🧩 4:32pm Handy Haversack: βrian, pretty sure that's for the misbegotten.
	4:34pm Juli: Ch-es Cha
	4:37pm alan the painter: Rock the Bells...!
	🧩 4:37pm Handy Haversack: Yay, Alan and Six Degrees!
	4:42pm Scott Williams: @JCRob, I''ll be there in a couple weeks!
	🧩 4:43pm chresti: How far is ME from JC?
	4:46pm Scott Williams: @chresti about 300 miles
	🧩 4:47pm chresti: OK, kind of the same distance SF from LA is.
	🧩 4:48pm Handy Haversack: Scott, we're heading back to the Sedgwick/Penobscot/Blue Hill area for the first week of September!
	4:52pm βrian: Ok, Handy. Have you a recipe to make use of fresh peach juice? I'm thinking light rum ...
	4:53pm bk845: Where is the cemetery in Camden? I will be up there in a few weeks and will look for it.
	🧩 4:54pm I k e: @chresti, so the question would be: is it worse to fight your way out of L.A. traffic on the way to SF, or to fight your way through CT and Boston-area traffic on the way to Maine? Probably a tough call.
	🧩 4:57pm Handy Haversack: Hmm, βrian, I got nothing, er, handy, but I'd just say to balance if possible: some sour (lemon? lime? dry vermouth?), some bitter if you have it (Campari, Suze?), and maybe some soda since peach juice is pretty viscous? Sounds like a nice thing to have in a Collins glass. 2 oz. rum, 1 oz. peach, .5 oz. lime, .5 oz Campari, ice, top with soda?
	🧩 4:57pm Handy Haversack: This is nice. I have been to Eigg. I have been inside both the Murder Cave and the Cathedral Cave.
	🧩 4:58pm chresti: I k e, we usually bypass metro LA by way of Pasadena to get to the 5, the faster, smelly route.
	🧩 5:00pm chresti: *timing is everything.
	🧩 5:00pm Handy Haversack: Eigg went fully cooperative, bought back all the land, and is self-sufficient from the mainland except for grain (or was so when I was there in 2009). Spellling!
	5:02pm joe mulligan: this song is better with the intro looped
	5:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Seems to me that Californians think much less of the straight shot from L.A. to SF within their own state than NorthEastern people think of ...going anywhere...
	5:03pm joe mulligan: from spelling to falling
	5:03pm Blast-Off-Girl: @chresti - it's always best to leave in the morning or late at night to avoid traffic on 405.
	🧩 5:03pm karlward: Wait a minute how many Ls is that?
	🧩 5:04pm karlward: Why is Spellling trying to mess with me?
	5:04pm The Oscar: God, what a song, and what a SCENE.
	5:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...trying to explain Cali to NewHampshuh people - I posit that it's like Yankess to RedSox within one state - & to spare...
	🧩 5:04pm Handy Haversack: Ike, stay west as long as you can. Go up the Taconic, then start making your way over on the Mass Pike, and get up into VT and NH as soon as it makes sense based on where you're going in ME.
	🧩 5:05pm chresti: Blast-off, night is better if we could still see!
	5:06pm Blast-Off-Girl: i hate that drive on 1-5
	🧩 5:06pm chresti: I know, me too! Too many trucks!
	5:08pm ?: Silver Apples makes my day
	5:08pm steveo: I dare say, sir, that you are in the zone
	5:08pm Blast-Off-Girl: Have you drove through highway 99? It's an interesting route and you pass by these small towns.
	🧩 5:09pm Ken From Hyde Park: Is work coming along on the high speed rail between LA & SF? I imagine that would be a sweet ride, if it comes to fruition.
	🧩 5:09pm Handy Haversack: That was the Full Haversack: fourth new clicky-star in a row!
	5:09pm Tony: I actually prefer taking 99 over I-5. Much of it is 3 lanes so it is easier to pass all the trucks. But you go through cities so you risk getting stuck in traffic in somewhere like Fresno.
	🧩 5:09pm chresti: Yes! We take that when the 5 is jammed.
	5:09pm Blast-Off-Girl: I thought those plans got derailed; no pun intended.
	5:10pm yippie: this silver apples makes me want some purple pomegranates
	5:10pm Blast-Off-Girl: 99 just takes a bit longer, but it's more preferable during a busy holiday weekend.
	5:11pm ChukAmok: High Speed rail would be a godsend anywhere in this country. The Amtrak from LA to SF is a slow journey up the coast watching everyone else have fun in the sun, sea, and sand.
	5:11pm steveo: At least if you get stuck in Fresno, you can write a song about it
	🧩 5:11pm I k e: @Handy, I'm going to NH soon but will probably take the Merritt to I-91 instead. Going via the Taconic seems like it would add too much mileage, no? The Taconic is beautiful though, and there's so much less traffic. Plus good 90.1 reception last time I was there!
	5:12pm Tony: @Steveo, I think you mean Bakersfield!
	🧩 5:15pm chresti: Ken, unfortunately, they ran into trouble with some cities, like Fresno, and ran out of $$$$$. I always thought the big fat median on the 5 would be perfect for a bullet train
	5:15pm Blast-Off-Girl: you can write a song about any of those central valley towns
	5:15pm Blast-Off-Girl: they're all mostly prison towns
	5:16pm steveo: We stopped in a weird/good little non-chain fast food place in Porterville, once, in between the two
	🧩 5:16pm Handy Haversack: Merritt is pretty, too. I just never trust traffic on any CT route. Can you imagine, ChukAmok? Rail to DC from NYC is a total joke, and I assume that obtains all they way north and east as well.
	5:17pm Tony: Regarding high speed rail, the central valley part is easy since it is all flat. The problem is trying to build it over the mountains at either end to LA and the Bay Area.
	5:17pm steveo: Coleman's Delight it was called
	🧩 5:19pm I k e: The Googs says Taconic to Mass Pike adds ~88 miles. Seems like a lot but maybe it’s worth it psychologically to avoid CT entirely? True that CT can be brutal.
	5:22pm steveo: Vermont is... Severely out of the way
	5:26pm Harold: You are correct, it's pronounced isle of 'egg'. It's an absurdly beautiful little Scottish island
	5:27pm steveo: Second second Saturday sidewalk sale: Super!
	🧩 5:27pm chresti: My partner, Franco says they're still working on it, Now that there's a freindly president, there might be some federal funding?
	5:28pm bukowski.: ★★★★★
	🧩 5:31pm I k e: @steveo, for Maine I'd imagine so. For the NE part of NH I'm headed to, it's still a bit weird, but it's worth the extra 10-20 miles. I-91 in VT is gorgeous and often completely empty.
	5:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...here in North NewEngalnd - they always say there's no money for functional mass transit. The truth is - the point of being here is precisely to be outside of Civilization - & they don't want Massholes (what have you) coming up & marrying their cousin when that was their own plan - or bringing in any more drugs than Vermont has to deal with already...
	5:36pm steveo: Oh yeah I thought we were talking about Maine
	5:39pm carrots: ween is better
	5:39pm Spinning Giant: well now, this here is perrtee
	5:40pm Krys O: Thanks, Scott!
	5:42pm C in Thailand: I would take Saw Mill River Parkway to I-684 to I-84 to I-91 rather than the Merritt.
	5:48pm Scott Williams: Wherever y'all are going, and however you plan to get there, I hope you make it safe & sound. See you next week!
	5:50pm C in Thailand: If going to Maine, I would probably avoid Hartford and exit I-84 on I-691 to Rt 66 to Rt 2 to I-395. Rt 66 is a small road through small towns but not that bad. Rt 2 and I-395 have very little traffic.
	5:51pm diciassette: Go to Dallas and make a left! :D Thank you Scott Williams
	5:51pm Juli: <3
	5:52pm ami ad: Thank you, DJ. Crew.
	5:53pm bukowski.: TY DJ SW
	5:53pm Bas NL: Yeay Circle!! Thanks again Scott! Great show!!
	🧩 5:53pm Handy Haversack: Thanks so much, Scott! Later on, all!
	5:53pm Juli: This sounds like 2000s dreamy indie pop vibes but more dream.
	🧩 5:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Scott. I can never remember if it's a right or left turn at Albuquerque.
	5:55pm bloumejune: Wow, that was a great version!
	5:55pm Jim the Poet: Awesome
	🧩 5:55pm I k e: Thanks @C, I might take a look at that since I'm going to the NH/ME borderlands! How's the breakfast curry in Thailand? Are there still toothless old ladies making great papaya salad with tiny little shrimp using a mortar and pestle out on the sidewalks?
	5:55pm Passaic River Blues: Wednesday afternoon crew brought their A game for serious. Thank you so much, Scott.
	5:56pm radioronan: Thanks Scott!
	🧩 5:56pm chresti: Thank you, Scott!
	🧩 5:57pm Will the Sound Guy: Thank you Scott! I really enjoyed your selections today!
	5:57pm steveo: Marvelous,,, thank you!
	5:57pm Juli: Haha yes! Oh that was Brian Eno
	5:57pm Juli: Cool!
	5:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TY As Ever DJ SW !
	5:58pm ?: Scott. Cool 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
	🧩 5:58pm I k e: Thanks Scott!
	5:58pm Carmichael: 2 fuzzy glove half hours!
	5:58pm spodiodi: thanks, Scott!
	6:08pm C in Thailand: @I k e, food in Thailand is still good! Still the papaya salad vendors, although very few are the old toothless ladies anymore. At least in my area. Maybe in the busier areas of Bangkok and larger outdoor markets!

	3:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...whose cider you on anyhows...
	🧩 3:13pm Handy Haversack: Everybody's asking, Rev Rab!
	3:13pm steveo: Mark Bittman told me that Johnny Appleseed was all about the cider
	3:13pm βrian: When I was a youn'un doing a year abroad, I would routinely order cidre, having no idea it was alcoholic. I thought I just had a good disposition.
	3:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...best to get on the right cider History...
	3:14pm Krys O.: @The Oscar: I recall that Sony & Phillips formed an alliance to counter the DVD format that Toshiba & Warner were foisting. Don't ask me who won though. I blotted it out of my memory of working at a Laserdisc distributor. I still have dozens of LDs.
	3:14pm βrian: One bushel of peaches spread out to ripen. Oh boy.
	3:15pm Carmichael: Handy, read about the history of the marionberry in Oregon. It movie-worthy.
	3:16pm Carmichael: *It's
	3:16pm eva: not funny
	3:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I thot Berry was Marrion in Washington...
	3:17pm βrian: Hey, is this what's her name's older brother?
	3:17pm Carmichael: Amanda, he he
	3:17pm The Oscar: @Krys O Not sure if it's the same thing, but I do remember the ill-fated DIVX format, which I believe were single-use disposable "rental" DVDs. A staggeringly bad idea that I can't believe made it to stores.
	3:17pm βrian: Yes, thank you.
	3:18pm Carmichael: It could be Bob Goldthwait.
	3:18pm Krys O.: @The Oscar: " In the same year, two new optical disc storage formats were being developed. One was the Multimedia Compact Disc (MMCD), backed by Philips and Sony (developers of the CD and CD-i), and the other was the Super Density (SD) disc, supported by Toshiba, Time Warner, Matsushita Electric, Hitachi, Mitsubishi Electric, Pioneer, Thomson, and JVC. By the time of the press launches for both formats in January 1995, the MMCD nomenclature had been dropped, and Philips and Sony were referring to their format as Digital Video Disc (DVD).[14][15] The Super Density logo would later be reused in Secure Digital."
	3:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...a soothing Cider pairs well with a good VocalFry...
	3:20pm YETI BOB: DIVX discs kept track of how many times you watched them and turned off after a certain number of views, unless you paid extra to renew. It was not successful.
	3:21pm steveo: Blasting out the hits today, sir.
	🧩 3:22pm Ken From Hyde Park: Howdy, Scott and button buddies!
	🧩 3:23pm chresti: Pushing the "star" button..
	3:23pm Scott Williams: Welcome, friends and sweaters!
	3:23pm YETI BOB: Pushing the "This is awesome but I'm too frazzled to handle it right now" button
	🧩 3:27pm chresti: It's a warm in the sun 84 F in San Gabriel, CA, 90s tomorrow and beyond. Fairly dry at 44%.
	3:29pm ryansterlingvirtue: Love this band
	3:34pm steveo: Endust put out a surprising number of excellent albums
	3:36pm βrian: "Turn on the cool-cool for Baby."
	🧩 3:36pm Handy Haversack: We swelters. K8 just released a song called "Swelter" -- so I guess there's a chance this is all her fault!
	3:36pm βrian: 72 degrees in Madison, yo.
	3:37pm bk845: Ok, so that whole "turn the heat on" thing was for cars that were prone to overheating (back in the 70s). The hyopthesis was that you could help keep the engine cooler by running the interior heat, which would blow cooler air over the heater core.
	3:38pm jan: Editing videos to this program- what a sound track. Loved the 1st set!
	3:42pm Carmichael: 70s cars used a 2nd radiator as the heater. So the idea was, if your car runs hot, turn the heat on to double cool the engine. And make you hotter ...
	3:43pm steveo: negative 297 on the dark side of the moon, βrian
	3:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: HBD Ringo ! ...he wasn't on this...
	🧩 3:44pm Handy Haversack: I am pretty sure I had to do that in the aughts in an early-nineties car? steveo, will it cool off there after the storms move through?
	3:45pm The Butterman: Nobody puts Baby in the corner!
	3:45pm The Oscar: Ah, classic Golden Throats material!
	3:46pm Krys O.: Matt Monroe-ish.
	3:46pm Scott Williams: how weird that he used the bell from Mother to intro She's Leaving Home!
	3:48pm Krys O.: I thought it was going to be Asylum Choir's Thieves in the Choir.
	3:48pm bk845: @Carmichael glad to see someone else is familiar with the idea:)
	3:50pm Carmichael: I'm old, bk ... 😮
	3:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Neat-o Stereo Drums. Shoulda called themselves the Not Alice Cooper Group... SW - otoh - Lennon's & Macca's mothers' deaths do form a subtext of a good %age of their stuff - one might hypothesize...
	3:52pm ChukAmok: @bk845 Had to do that in a van full of folks while on tour in the west in the summer of '02. Switched out the alternator probably three times before we learned that two of the six pistons had fused to the inside of the engine.
	3:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Also ! 'Mother' was not released until late 1970 !
	3:56pm Scott Williams: RevRab, RIGHT! wtf???
	3:58pm The Butterman: Oh shut, I thought this was Tony Rice and Norman Blake at first.
	4:01pm Bas NL: Love this Bagounou!
	4:01pm headcleaner: this is perfect for the weather, Scott
	🧩 4:03pm Handy Haversack: Work done. Now drink. Hear sounds.
	4:04pm Pas Musique: Hello Fellow Aliens!
	4:07pm steveo: There is no dark side in the moon, really, Handy
	🧩 4:15pm karlward: steveo: matter of fact it's all dark
	🧩 4:15pm I k e: Love it!
	🧩 4:15pm karlward: ChukAmok: what do you think about "Matter of Fact It's All Dark" for a song title?
	🧩 4:17pm Handy Haversack: B-side could be "Light It Up (the Moon)!"
	4:20pm steveo: Karl, true
	4:22pm steveo: Asha
	4:23pm βrian: But the moon does have an evil twin, I hear.
	4:28pm JG: I love Wednesday afternoons
	4:29pm The Oscar: Damon was a regular at the record store I worked at-- really nice and interesting dude (and they're still together AFAIK!)
	4:29pm ChukAmok: Karl and Handy I like both of those ideas.
	4:31pm Rob (Jerzcity): Holy craps! I used to live in the Camden, Rockport, Rockland , ME area!
	🧩 4:32pm Handy Haversack: βrian, pretty sure that's for the misbegotten.
	4:34pm Juli: Ch-es Cha
	4:37pm alan the painter: Rock the Bells...!
	🧩 4:37pm Handy Haversack: Yay, Alan and Six Degrees!
	4:42pm Scott Williams: @JCRob, I''ll be there in a couple weeks!
	🧩 4:43pm chresti: How far is ME from JC?
	4:46pm Scott Williams: @chresti about 300 miles
	🧩 4:47pm chresti: OK, kind of the same distance SF from LA is.
	🧩 4:48pm Handy Haversack: Scott, we're heading back to the Sedgwick/Penobscot/Blue Hill area for the first week of September!
	4:52pm βrian: Ok, Handy. Have you a recipe to make use of fresh peach juice? I'm thinking light rum ...
	4:53pm bk845: Where is the cemetery in Camden? I will be up there in a few weeks and will look for it.
	🧩 4:54pm I k e: @chresti, so the question would be: is it worse to fight your way out of L.A. traffic on the way to SF, or to fight your way through CT and Boston-area traffic on the way to Maine? Probably a tough call.
	🧩 4:57pm Handy Haversack: Hmm, βrian, I got nothing, er, handy, but I'd just say to balance if possible: some sour (lemon? lime? dry vermouth?), some bitter if you have it (Campari, Suze?), and maybe some soda since peach juice is pretty viscous? Sounds like a nice thing to have in a Collins glass. 2 oz. rum, 1 oz. peach, .5 oz. lime, .5 oz Campari, ice, top with soda?
	🧩 4:57pm Handy Haversack: This is nice. I have been to Eigg. I have been inside both the Murder Cave and the Cathedral Cave.
	🧩 4:58pm chresti: I k e, we usually bypass metro LA by way of Pasadena to get to the 5, the faster, smelly route.
	🧩 5:00pm chresti: *timing is everything.
	🧩 5:00pm Handy Haversack: Eigg went fully cooperative, bought back all the land, and is self-sufficient from the mainland except for grain (or was so when I was there in 2009). Spellling!
	5:02pm joe mulligan: this song is better with the intro looped
	5:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Seems to me that Californians think much less of the straight shot from L.A. to SF within their own state than NorthEastern people think of ...going anywhere...
	5:03pm joe mulligan: from spelling to falling
	5:03pm Blast-Off-Girl: @chresti - it's always best to leave in the morning or late at night to avoid traffic on 405.
	🧩 5:03pm karlward: Wait a minute how many Ls is that?
	🧩 5:04pm karlward: Why is Spellling trying to mess with me?
	5:04pm The Oscar: God, what a song, and what a SCENE.
	5:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...trying to explain Cali to NewHampshuh people - I posit that it's like Yankess to RedSox within one state - & to spare...
	🧩 5:04pm Handy Haversack: Ike, stay west as long as you can. Go up the Taconic, then start making your way over on the Mass Pike, and get up into VT and NH as soon as it makes sense based on where you're going in ME.
	🧩 5:05pm chresti: Blast-off, night is better if we could still see!
	5:06pm Blast-Off-Girl: i hate that drive on 1-5
	🧩 5:06pm chresti: I know, me too! Too many trucks!
	5:08pm ?: Silver Apples makes my day
	5:08pm steveo: I dare say, sir, that you are in the zone
	5:08pm Blast-Off-Girl: Have you drove through highway 99? It's an interesting route and you pass by these small towns.
	🧩 5:09pm Ken From Hyde Park: Is work coming along on the high speed rail between LA & SF? I imagine that would be a sweet ride, if it comes to fruition.
	🧩 5:09pm Handy Haversack: That was the Full Haversack: fourth new clicky-star in a row!
	5:09pm Tony: I actually prefer taking 99 over I-5. Much of it is 3 lanes so it is easier to pass all the trucks. But you go through cities so you risk getting stuck in traffic in somewhere like Fresno.
	🧩 5:09pm chresti: Yes! We take that when the 5 is jammed.
	5:09pm Blast-Off-Girl: I thought those plans got derailed; no pun intended.
	5:10pm yippie: this silver apples makes me want some purple pomegranates
	5:10pm Blast-Off-Girl: 99 just takes a bit longer, but it's more preferable during a busy holiday weekend.
	5:11pm ChukAmok: High Speed rail would be a godsend anywhere in this country. The Amtrak from LA to SF is a slow journey up the coast watching everyone else have fun in the sun, sea, and sand.
	5:11pm steveo: At least if you get stuck in Fresno, you can write a song about it
	🧩 5:11pm I k e: @Handy, I'm going to NH soon but will probably take the Merritt to I-91 instead. Going via the Taconic seems like it would add too much mileage, no? The Taconic is beautiful though, and there's so much less traffic. Plus good 90.1 reception last time I was there!
	5:12pm Tony: @Steveo, I think you mean Bakersfield!
	🧩 5:15pm chresti: Ken, unfortunately, they ran into trouble with some cities, like Fresno, and ran out of $$$$$. I always thought the big fat median on the 5 would be perfect for a bullet train
	5:15pm Blast-Off-Girl: you can write a song about any of those central valley towns
	5:15pm Blast-Off-Girl: they're all mostly prison towns
	5:16pm steveo: We stopped in a weird/good little non-chain fast food place in Porterville, once, in between the two
	🧩 5:16pm Handy Haversack: Merritt is pretty, too. I just never trust traffic on any CT route. Can you imagine, ChukAmok? Rail to DC from NYC is a total joke, and I assume that obtains all they way north and east as well.
	5:17pm Tony: Regarding high speed rail, the central valley part is easy since it is all flat. The problem is trying to build it over the mountains at either end to LA and the Bay Area.
	5:17pm steveo: Coleman's Delight it was called
	🧩 5:19pm I k e: The Googs says Taconic to Mass Pike adds ~88 miles. Seems like a lot but maybe it’s worth it psychologically to avoid CT entirely? True that CT can be brutal.
	5:22pm steveo: Vermont is... Severely out of the way
	5:26pm Harold: You are correct, it's pronounced isle of 'egg'. It's an absurdly beautiful little Scottish island
	5:27pm steveo: Second second Saturday sidewalk sale: Super!
	🧩 5:27pm chresti: My partner, Franco says they're still working on it, Now that there's a freindly president, there might be some federal funding?
	5:28pm bukowski.: ★★★★★
	🧩 5:31pm I k e: @steveo, for Maine I'd imagine so. For the NE part of NH I'm headed to, it's still a bit weird, but it's worth the extra 10-20 miles. I-91 in VT is gorgeous and often completely empty.
	5:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...here in North NewEngalnd - they always say there's no money for functional mass transit. The truth is - the point of being here is precisely to be outside of Civilization - & they don't want Massholes (what have you) coming up & marrying their cousin when that was their own plan - or bringing in any more drugs than Vermont has to deal with already...
	5:36pm steveo: Oh yeah I thought we were talking about Maine
	5:39pm carrots: ween is better
	5:39pm Spinning Giant: well now, this here is perrtee
	5:40pm Krys O: Thanks, Scott!
	5:42pm C in Thailand: I would take Saw Mill River Parkway to I-684 to I-84 to I-91 rather than the Merritt.
	5:48pm Scott Williams: Wherever y'all are going, and however you plan to get there, I hope you make it safe & sound. See you next week!
	5:50pm C in Thailand: If going to Maine, I would probably avoid Hartford and exit I-84 on I-691 to Rt 66 to Rt 2 to I-395. Rt 66 is a small road through small towns but not that bad. Rt 2 and I-395 have very little traffic.
	5:51pm diciassette: Go to Dallas and make a left! :D Thank you Scott Williams
	5:51pm Juli: <3
	5:52pm ami ad: Thank you, DJ. Crew.
	5:53pm bukowski.: TY DJ SW
	5:53pm Bas NL: Yeay Circle!! Thanks again Scott! Great show!!
	🧩 5:53pm Handy Haversack: Thanks so much, Scott! Later on, all!
	5:53pm Juli: This sounds like 2000s dreamy indie pop vibes but more dream.
	🧩 5:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Scott. I can never remember if it's a right or left turn at Albuquerque.
	5:55pm bloumejune: Wow, that was a great version!
	5:55pm Jim the Poet: Awesome
	🧩 5:55pm I k e: Thanks @C, I might take a look at that since I'm going to the NH/ME borderlands! How's the breakfast curry in Thailand? Are there still toothless old ladies making great papaya salad with tiny little shrimp using a mortar and pestle out on the sidewalks?
	5:55pm Passaic River Blues: Wednesday afternoon crew brought their A game for serious. Thank you so much, Scott.
	5:56pm radioronan: Thanks Scott!
	🧩 5:56pm chresti: Thank you, Scott!
	🧩 5:57pm Will the Sound Guy: Thank you Scott! I really enjoyed your selections today!
	5:57pm steveo: Marvelous,,, thank you!
	5:57pm Juli: Haha yes! Oh that was Brian Eno
	5:57pm Juli: Cool!
	5:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TY As Ever DJ SW !
	5:58pm ?: Scott. Cool 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
	🧩 5:58pm I k e: Thanks Scott!
	5:58pm Carmichael: 2 fuzzy glove half hours!
	5:58pm spodiodi: thanks, Scott!
	6:08pm C in Thailand: @I k e, food in Thailand is still good! Still the papaya salad vendors, although very few are the old toothless ladies anymore. At least in my area. Maybe in the busier areas of Bangkok and larger outdoor markets!
