allo allo allo! welcome to Recher-chat! How y'all doing? 😘

Heya Readie! Hope you are well!

Hi Readie and Roff!

Hi Readie!

Hi Roff! all is well thanks!!!

Hi Addie

Addie- a song for you and the snekkies...HIYA!!!

Hey Citizen Caddie! welcome! It's a great, coooool day in the East today! Rainy, but that's ok with me!! clean, negative ions to cleanse the soul!

Ooo, the snakes and I thank you!

😘

Roff, what’s new?

READY,EFD tells me i shouldn't wake the neighbors and i thought he was my friend

Odds on for the hottest and coolest day of the summer within a few days. Everything is normal though.

who's that, aiffrig?

How are you doing in the Northlands Addie? Just stupid weird here.

some north jersie station

ooooo, sometimes you just gotta open it up and let if fly, aiffrig, right, aiffrig?

actually my name

sorry I was actually wearing it out on my last comment...slip of the hand!

Front or back/ lol

haha!

like my wife says , all good in the hood,

@aiffrig - nice! and a big hi to your wife!

where's that confounded bridge?

zeps a trip

ain't it the truth?!!

it's hard to believe how hot it was recently - right now the air con at the Barge is robust! I am adding layers!

@Roff Vermont is beautiful today! It’ll be pretty warm next week but nothing like last week. Looking forward to some pool days actually.

A Vermont band in the set today! AND a Lambertville band.

Brattleboro, VT - is that near you, Addie?

Nice!

Not at all, pretty much the opposite end of the state! It’s about 3 hours away. But I’ve been there and it’s a nice town! I met a local character named Alfred when I visited. He was a delight.

https://vtdigger.org/2020/07/03/even-without-a-parade-firecracker-of-brattleboros-fourth-seeks-to-unite/

Local characters are amazing! There was a guy in Princeton years ago that wore one of those hats with earflaps and I cannot remember his name!

I feel like I vaguely remember that guy from when I worked briefly at Small World.

I like Windham County. Brattleboro is kinda cool, but I have not been there in 30 years.

that's right, I forgot you worked there, addie! I haven't been there in ages...I saw a former WPRB DJ and his band there a few times years ago...

Lambertville band here

hi again readie rainbow!

OHI again, Ossy! and how is it in your world today?

it's kinda mellow like phyllis hyman! https://www.instagram.com/reel/DLUufSksLjW/

nice - gone but not forgotten! Philly legend!

mellow is good!

Hey Hello Readie and fellow Friday evening chatters!

Got up at 5 am today to go to get some blood work done and the drive was great! No one on the roads!

Howdy Alan!

what's in the stars tonight?

Readie: Happy Friday, we made it thru the mini-intense heat wave..

Yes, Alan, we made it. I stay in when it's plus 100 degrees!

@Readie, I used to never drive into LA before 2am and 4am unless I ever had to for a similar reason.

Readie: it's New Moon = No moon, but have been checking on that star that's supposed to go nova...T Coronae Borealis....meanwhile that heat has left me feeling like I've been run over by a Freight Train LOL..

I hear that Roff- I imagine LA is a real nightmare for drivers!

@Alan - yes, indeed - new moon...keep us posted on that nova action!!!

The 405 fits the nightmare senerio as the sun comes up.

wow, Roff- I drive basic roads over here - avoiding Rte 1 at all costs no matter the time of day...

@Alan, the sky's here just suck for watching a random skylark in a washed out sky in Philly sadly.

@Readie, I grew up a few blocks away from Rt. 1. I have dodged traffic on that thing for years of my childhood life. lol

A friend of mine got caught in the Solar Eclipse of '24 traffic jam and he had his automatic car drive for him, keeping pace with the traffic. He said that AI can be infinitely stupid but infinitely Patient!!

Hey, Readie! Happy Obergefell+1. Read an interesting article the other day; Obergefell and Hodges have since become friends.

Roffle: You may be able to see a Crescent Moon in the West after sunset on Sunday evening if you have a clear horizon in that direction, it should be fairly conspicuous even in Philly..

@Alan, yes. No minor nova action events here though. Such is city life.

@Roff- I hear that! Rte. 1 is a nightmare...try to get GPS to understand that "AVOID HIGHWAYS" option means stay off of route one, bruh

lol

@Alan- I hear UBER is going into a big push for those self-driving vehicles...NO THANK YOU!!

When we crossed that highway, it meant, run for you life. lol

@Jeff- HI! welcome on in! I hadn't heard that about Obergefell & Hodges! So cool! I love hearing that! It's hard to believe gay marriage has been around for 10 years!! So many joyful couples- I remember !

Readie: If I'm behind the wheel in a traffic jam I can see it as being useful, but a Self Drive is worrisome, remember we're only in the First Gen of AI...

OOOH! Crescent moon Sunday!! I'm there- I love me a slender, graceful little crescent!!

@Alan yes! I am so not an early adopter when it comes to those things..wait till they perfect it, if that's even possible...

Readie: We have a few self drive in Bucks County PA, I always give them plenty of "Breathing Room" if you know what I mean...

Really, Alan? Never have seen one... I would like to think they have more "sense" than some of the cowboys out there ... but naw

I did a Waymo earlier this year in Scottsdale. Felt safer in that car with no driver than I have with some taxi and Uber drivers!

Readie: The human brain does an Amazing amount of Visual Data processing, maybe Second Gen AI will be sufficient, be careful of Version One of Anything!! :)

@Jeff- how's the world of wine? any recs? I am a white wine drinker - I'd love to try a nice dry white...

agreed, Alan! my friends are trying to get me into ChatGPT...I'm wary of giving away so much personal info...

Hello, everybody!

Hey Danosaur! how is it going?!!!

It's going okay

Would like to say all is well in wine world, but we’re starting to see the impact of tariffs. 😡😡 On a hot summer day/evening an Italian Gavi or Portuguese Vinho Verde is very nice. Or a Terrazza d’Etna from Sicily. Very refreshing!

These days okay is the best you can hope for

Sounds great, Jeff, I'll give them a try! I didn't realize tariffs would affect wines- but of course!! imports...Tariff wars are so ridiculous!

Readie: I read Isaac Asimov's book "I Robot" (The movie has Absolutely Nothing to do with the book except the topic)...Excellent read about an AI Robot Psychologist... "They (AI) are a far more Purer Breed than us"... ie Unexpected Results!

@Danosaur - finding little joys wherever I can... music helps!

That's why I'm here, Readie!

Sounds like a good book for these days, Alan - looks like a trip to the library is in order for me!

This song is crazy!

@Danosaur - that's the spirit my friend! so glad you are here!!!

BTW Love this Jill Sobule track...:) RIP Jill :(

@Danosaur- it's actually a children's book !

Sounds like a wild read for the kids

Yeah - Jill was a true treasure!

readie for earlier - yeah, so in love with phyllis, that they have a facebook fan group of her called 'simply phyllis hyman'.

The Jill track:

https://sweet-penny-and-the-lion.bandcamp.com/track/sweet-penny-and-the-lion

and this current recently, liked the zigs move mountains track

@Ossy- that's a nice tribute!

Jill on Wiki here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jill_Sobule

@Ossy- so glad you liked that track!

Just finished reading Anima Rising by Christopher Moore if any one is looking for a funny read. It's about the Frankenstein, the monster, the bride of Frankenstein, Gustav Klimt, Sigmund Freud, Karl Jung and malamutes

@Danosaur- sounds like a wild read!

readie btw - one of patty's coworker friends, named loraine ballard morrill is so cute https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=2b991d5e6e40b86a&q=loraine+ballard+morrill&udm=2&fbs=AIIjpHxU7SXXniUZfeShr2fp4giZ1Y6MJ25_tmWITc7uy4KIeqDdErwP5rACeJAty2zADJjYuUnSkczEhozYdaq1wZrEheAY38UjnRKVLYFDREDmz6ZuF5vGKadO4eyTxfJeUAUMG824jBAJyyOFku2EE6yFAMG92rVlgj_vAxQXNB1YTKi5vnFC7sIzwBMMxojLsnnE1TcdECqxzRobFhi6gbOmGGyvyA&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiEoeuRyJKOAxX2EVkFHfMgHdcQtKgLKAF6BAgPEAE&biw=2133&bih=1012&dpr=0.9

keep on keepin' on!!

So cute, Ossy! nice glasses!

@Readie - Yes! It's as crazy as it sounds but I loved it.

sounds good! Library here I come! Some great recs tonight!

I need some good summer reading!

Christopher Moore is a really fun writer. He has a very strange sense of humor that I really like.

cool, Danosaur

Shakespeare for Squirrels, Bite Me, You Suck and Noir are my recommendations for Christopher Moore books.

readie - yeah, don't too too much follow lorraine, but her voice is so sweet, mellow and relaxing everytime on the airwaves!

Hey, I'm in Los Angeles! We're doing okay despite the media portraying us as a lawless hellscape.

Hey Danosaur - I didn't realize you were on the left coast! represent!

Yeah. We're angry that they're abducting hard-working people off the street and trying to usurp our chosen government

Sorry to be so negative but what the Federal government is doing here is terrible.

I'll stop now

Thank you for your voice, Danosaur! So much going on...be strong...

Thanks! Trying to stay sane and positive. This song really sums it up

Oh yeah...we will get through this! resist!

Tony Allen!

Hey Rob F!

Hello

How are you doing?!

keep up the great fight, danosaur, so much trash up in the government

Thanks, Ossy

groove on this....

It does have a good groove

Nice jam

can always count on Boogarins!

Ya gotta when ya gotta

Frankie = Runnin' Red Lights with Readie!

LOL! pedal to the metal!

……………………………. 🛸

haha Alan!

Steer clear of those Singularities ...!!!

I toldja we would be kickin' up a notch this set!

Alan, I really like that speeding space ship thingy...

You certainly did kick it up a notch or two

it's a roller coaster tonight!!

Who, who, who, who, who!

Don't put Descartes before the horse

Summer reading suggestion: "Little Pussy & Long Branch: Perfect Together" (by the owner of the now-demolished Brighton Bar). https://www.amazon.com/Little-Pussy-Long-Branch-Together/dp/B0FC3WF8LB

@David Shortell - That does look interesting

Hiya David S- Thanks for that! it does sound interesting and local!

Les Baxter? This is definitely More Baxter

this Les reminds me of Stravinsky..

HAHA! you guys are killin' me over here!

This is a good song.

Glad you like it, Dano - I'm a new fan of Katie Pruitt...killer

As an ex-Christian I think about what the church is doing these days

we all have our unique experiences...

speaking of Harvey Milk--such a shame about the unnaming of that ship - oh well...what do we expect at this point?

This song is about the experience in the UK... but we can extrapolate!

Yeah, taking some huge steps backwards. Shame

Every country has it's right-wing idiots to deal with

Readie: I sometimes take comfort in the fact that the Laws of Physics and Nature remain immutable even though the so called "Laws" of humans do not....

very profound, Alan, thank you

Can relate to that Loudon Wainwright song

Bugs Bunny tried to deny the laws of physics but it didn't work for him either

Danosaur: Only Road Runner got away with not obeying the laws of Physics because he held up a sign that said he didn't study Law :)

True! Haha!

Temple Univ. Physics dept once sponsored a Road Runner marathon ...memorable!

Thanks for the fun music and chat! Stay cool!

see y'all love you see ya next week! Thanks for being here...

Thanks, Readie, for easing us into the weekend! Great show, as always.

Thanks Readie! ☮️ & R !! ...bcnu!

stay butter readie!!!

Thanks Readie! Love ya
