Every two years, for every election, a dozen Nevada democratic volunteers desperately text me thinking I'm "Dale", begging me to vote. No matter how often I reply, it doesn't stop. This election, like every election, I hope they found him. Dale from Nevada, I hope you voted!

Missing Maxine's tonight, and the stroll down and across the arboretum into town. Always a such a moment of sheer possibility! And of course thinking about @ZD_Harrod 's poem Autumn Begins in the Ozarks...

Y’all, It gives me the greatest possible pleasure to announce a truckload of new tour dates.
After 15 months off the road, it’s time to gas up that tour bus and load up that gear and take this Rock and Roll out among the people again. - PH
