Most of the time at work, my mind is in the clouds.

Ireland face France in six nations this weekend. I had earlier predicted that Ireland would not win the grand slam (no losses in the 5 matches). I am sticking with my prediction but have lost confidence.

This is why I don't wager on sports.

As predicted, Ireland lost. France now in command of the Six Nations. Woulda coulda.

So tired. And then we're supposed to lose an hour tonight.

I suppose it's a good thing Trump didn't get rid of the time change with one of his many executive orders.  As often as he has backed down on things, in two weeks it would be changed again and we would really be screwed up time-wise.

He's had to reverse so many of them, they might as well be called 'executive suggestions'.

This is my chance to make all the clocks in the house read the same time. Due to battery life and occasional power blips...every clock in the house has been close to the correct time.

Someone should convince trump to end the time change and he can rename it to Trump Saving Day Time

Another incident of "That Can't Possibly Be Right." Dad's been watching videos about "Trigger," Willie Nelson's famous guitar.




About halfway through the video, someone says of Trigger's pickup that it was the first time an acoustic guitar had been successfully amplified by a pickup. Naturally, since I'm the sort of person who's so obsessed with the guitar gear of the past subscribed to Guitar Gear Connections on the off chance that I'd learn a bit more about the strings they used, this did not sit right with me.

I know that early electric bluesmen like Lightnin Hopkins and Elmore James did what they did by attaching pickups to old acoustic guitars:




And, of course, there were the famous Gibson J-160Es that John and George Played with The Beatles. And, while they were often played acoustically, I know for a fact that they used them with amps sometimes:




I can only assume that they meant either with a classical guitar, with a pickup that was supposed to accurately portray the acoustic sound, or within country music.
