I had the creepiness of Steely Dan on the brain because Clay Pigeon slipped some in this morning, in between the great pre-approved playlist items he has to use. Some commenter (not logged in, mind you) "requested" it. Great mix overall every morning, though. The cheerfulness isn't for me, but I dig the playlist a lot. Very accessible, yet free-form. Great work, y'all.

Hence my GIF of a cat trapped in an endless cycle of sandal-related playing... or is it suffering? Is she having fun, or is her head trapped? Is there a difference? All of these comments have happened before, and all of them will happen again. BUT, yes, this is a great set of music.

that reminds me of my worst hike ever... my gf and i went to hike in the Palisades to celebrate one year anniversary and started climbing some steep hill which we thought was part of a path taking us back to civilization, but which ended abruptly after seemingly 30+ minutes of climbing up a serious incline, leaving us very confused in the middle of nowhere as the sun started going down holding onto thin trees for dear life. had to call a ranger type person to help us get down in the dark. then two days later my leg turned purple with poison ivy. now i hate nature unless im driving by it really fast in a car!

Black Cow can refer to either:
. A root beer float or Coke float
. An alcoholic drink (sometimes referred to as a Black Cow #2) featuring Kahlúa, half-and-half, and Coca-Cola
. "Black Cow" (song), on Steely Dan's 1977 album Aja. The title refers to the alcoholic drink
. A chocolate-covered caramel confection, Sugar Mama.
