Now y’all don’t read nothin’ into to this. It’s just a fine song and a fine artist. Like ol’ Merle says; I think all of us got a little of this song in us.

RIP John Aielli
This 30 seconds of dead air is for you, John.
John Aielli, the gentle and idiosyncratic narrator to the morning commutes of generations of Austinites, has died. The longtime local radio host was 76.
“We’re heartbroken to tell you that our beloved friend and colleague John Aielli passed shortly before 8 a.m. this morning,” Austin stations KUT and KUTX said in a statement Sunday. “He was such a joy to work with, and so important to what KUT and KUTX have become.”

Special Guest: Whitney, on her eighth birthday! Whitney was our first adoption from Cocker Spaniel Rescue of Austin/San Antonio. She’s a sweet girl. Hardly acknowledges Max. And is his exact opposite in almost every way.

My Dog Max: 3 Year Adpotiversary
Happy three year adoptiversary, Max!

One of Max’s traits that I most love is that he’s /always/ ready for a trip. Here he is in the front seat of our RV, ready to go, even though I was just driving it back to the lot. He’s truly a joy to have on the road.
Except when he hogs the bed.

No recent episodes, just a general observation.
