This -- the first day of 2019--- was shaping up to be boring and mundane -- taking down Christmas lights--- puttering around the house-- going to the store---
then -- an email came in that lured me to a clandestine meeting in FORT LONESOME Fl.------ a desolate area in the outter badlands of the swamp and scared by huge LAND DREDGES ripping up the soil to extract the phosphorous (thanks Mosaic)
Driving out to this meeting I watched one of these behemoths at work ---at least 10 stories tall they are NOT tiny
THe Fort Lonesome Truck Stop was closed make the place EVEN MORE LONESOME---
I was lured by a simple email stating "Happy New year--
I have something for you that I think you'll diggie.
Don't worry, you won't have to feed or clean up after it."
I was of course intrigued------
AND since this email came form NONE OTHER than the lovely and talented SIr Dave of HACMASTER--- I new it would be something MUSICAL!
SO -- we made the "meet" and I was happily surprised-- to handed a new and totally alien yet interesting new toy------
