Hi

Ive seen #2 which was magnificent and #4, which was good but not as memorable.

I have to the chance to see #3 in a few weeks at the Manchester Symphony hall in the UK, what are the thoughts on how it would compare to 2 & 4

Thanks

Alan

Man, that's one BF "stimulus."

Using liberal CNN as a source of the size of the stimulus, which should favor the government's slant on this issue, they posit 4.7 trillion dollars.

Next, 300 million people in this country, thereabouts.

But...only 138 million 'taxpayers' according to the IRS.

Some smart guy can do the math, but 4.7 trillion divided amongst 138 million taxpayers seems to give an absolutely unfucking-overcomable deficit.

Maybe 340,000 dollars per taxpayer? I can't have done the math correctly, that number is too big.

The good old days...

When I was still wearing diapers, my parents had a huge piece of furniture called a radio-grammophone. Through the single loudspeaker of this monster, I learned to appreciate the pure sound of audio-Nirvana delivered by the built-in turntable playing 78's with some of the more distinguished singers and orchestras of that time. This would have been 1952-53.

After exploring a couple of trails along Highway 1, Jon and I made it back to Lucia Lodge in time to watch the sun paint the land with watercolors.

Though many of the highway’s trails were closed due to floods and mudslides, Jon and I found one that took us right down to the ocean. <a href="http://www.hikinginbigsur.com/hikes_partingtoncove.html">Partington Cove</a> was furious, relentless, and beautiful. No subwoofer can recreate that massive sound made by the waves as they crashed into the land.

I was in California last week, spending time with Jon Iverson and working on our “Recommended Components” feature for the April 2010 issue. Jon and Corrina made me feel very much at home, made me feel like a king, made me feel very spoiled and very fortunate. California made me feel very connected to the earth, surrounded me with beauty, reminded me that the most wonderful moments in life are made more beautiful when you’ve got someone to share them with.
