Sunday Overnight - 1000th post edition

...Technically 1001 posts on this blog from your humble scribe, dear reader - but as with so much else in these environs, artistic license is available for viewing upon request.

At this time, I would like to thank those who come here to peruse the gems produced from an ethos long ago and far away - May those days of quality and craftsmanship, the product of many disciplined hours spent at the expense of other matters, be soon in returning and long in remaining.

Suz: 'Clink clink' - Look what being told, 'Get your own blog, pest!' can do.

CB: It has been over 3 years, not trying to be Blog Speed King here(wink) - Insert '100 blind pigs typing on truffles' reference...Or something.

Swear to Gawd it wasn't me, Dayna - Honest.

ZC - Hot zitz!

Randal, as ever the voice of prudent reason...But what if the weather is for hire?

microdot - Rahsaan Roland Kirk is indeed most mighty and this in turn magnifies your superpowers by referencing it, I reckon.

Oh DCap, you flatter me - I'm just a broken-down shmoe with silly pictures and arcane musical tastes. Thank you very much.

Well, a bit late to THIS party I am, but what a great milestone, and congrats to you DB, many thousands more . . . I sometimes go a while and don't click in, and then I'm mesmerized all over again.

The music always soothes, the artwork always prods.

Great combo!!!
