We lost a good one this week. Ralph Stanley was the best bluegrass sad song singer there ever was.



The happy song first.


A lot of people helped put RALPH where he got his fame from he could have never dun it alone.I knowed him personley I had a dog he offered 30 grand for but I said no and let him keep that dog for 90 days he gave me a 22 rifeal for that and layed a signed check down and told me to fill it out so he could take my dog back home with him,but I never sold the dog it is buried in the county I live in..A lot of the people that played for RALPH smoke my weed and they grew up with me.IF RALPH would have payed the people that help him the most make his cash most all would not have quite him he was a cheap scape when it came to paying his help.THATS ALL A FACT and I do still like him any way..ky

Lots of poor folks who hit it big have trouble getting over their poor raisin'. I'm not a huge bluegrass guy, but whenever you lose someone of his standing, it leaves a big hole. This has been a tough year for musicians of all stripes.

How's the annex going jj? PC must be working hard, haven't seen him here in awhile. Greenhouse pics looked great. Looks like another for the record books @ lone oaks!
The crew has it looking pretty good. still have a few holes to plug with plants but that should happen any day now. I don't get down there as often. It's another guy's property behind locked gate & I don't have the combination & pictures for RIU were never included in the rent agreement. He's a great guy, but I don't want to create any issues...but I will get an update soon.

I just saw the dumbest title of an "article" over on UNlinkedin. Tesla driver killed with car in autopilot mode. The fucking car was run over by a mack truck....

Federal regulators
are investigating a fatal crash involving a Tesla S in autopilot mode. The driver's death is thought to be the first in more than 130 million autopilot miles, Tesla said, noting that "among all vehicles in the US, there is a fatality every 94 million miles." The freakish accident involved a semi which crossed over on a divided highway; the impact was with the Tesla S windshield as the car passed under the truck. Tesla asserted that in a head-on collision the car's safety systems "would likely have prevented serious injury as it has in numerous other similar incidents."

People are fucking stupid.

I've heard more about this over the last couple of days. It seems the driver was watching a video on the center console, and when the truck turned sideways across his path, the color of the trailer was so close to the color of the sky, the cameras didn't pick up the difference. And it was so close the radar was shooting under the trailer. When it comes right down to it, it is a driver assist program, not a self driving car. You have to keep your eyes on the road. A real shame about the dude that died though. He was a high tech CEO himself.
