If I do throw on some Genesis (which is now unusual), it's always from the PG era. The shift to PC was analogous to the shift in the Doobie Bros' sound when "Living on the Fault Line" came out, or when Steely Dan issued "Aja". Oh wow, Norton Buffalo played on LotFL.

I actually saw this bottle in the museum. Beautiful place, Speyer!

Just a few kilometers up the Rhine River, on the western side, are a series of oxbow lakes and sloughs, swamps and marshes that make up a huge nature reserve. My German friend had a canoe and we went out there many times and explored and discovered quite a bit things, both manmade, ancient and new, and natural.

We went out on the Rhine once, and canoe bobbed and swayed by the many ships and big barges going up and down. Too much and we got into another lake!

:^) There’s a fun vignette from Two and a Half Men where the brothers are on the deck and brother Alan starts to pretend they are Ernest and Julio Gallo.

LOL, this is a funny bit from “You’re The Worst”, about the argument between Peter Gabriel or Phil Collins...

I think the “woman” in the photo with Billy D. says it all.

It’s amazing that the technology to make that bottle was around 1700 years ago.

How much have we lost, only to have to reinvent it again?

Think about the Roman cement, that we still to this day cannot duplicate.

Glassmaking has been around a good long while. I highly recommend the Corning Museum of Glass (although I’ve only been there once, and it was a long time ago).
