It’s also sad to think of the animal’s side when the human (eschewing the word ‘owner’), precedes the critter in death.

Sometimes the local laws cannot prevent cell towers from being built but they can require them to be concealed. I don’t know if I like that idea.Better the devil known, it comes to electromagnetic fields. Typical California though. Gotta pretty it up.

When the military perfects cloaking technology, that can render the cell phone towers invisible. But then birds, drones and jetpack people will start colliding with them.

Joe what’s that band of Ribot’s called, Ceramic Dog? Can’t remember if they were an outlet for his Cuban explorations. Of course, no one of a certain age can forget Ribot chaining himself to the stage at Tonic in 2006 as the marshals came to shut it down and arrest whomever they could...

My favorite Ribot album is Rootless Cosmopolitans. There's a song called "The Cocktail Party" which is a sort of sideways, busted funk instrumental. That record also has a totally crazy cover of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"
