I invent words all the time, my wife catches me a, my mind goes blank and some BS word comes out and she'll go, is that even a word?

I too also wish I had paid more attention in school to Spanish - I did in elementary but skipped the class in high school - but I do know one curse word - lol

Here's how smart I was / am.... Went to two years of high school in El Paso, at that time well over 50% Mexican American.... so I took a language of course. French never been to France..... Can't speak but four or five phrases in French now after 30 years. I can do a really cheezy French accent though. And all I can do in Spanish is cuss..... And having spent years around the barrios I can also do a really cheezy Mexican accent. I'm worthless.

T - 2:13 and counting....

Don't know if y'all saw this article from The Macon Telegraph about a benefit concert this weekend. At the end of the article one of the organizers, a chap named Glenn Harrell, finds the perfect words to explain Duane Allman's impact on all of us. Enjoy... HEADLINE: Charity concert aims to keep Allman Brothers legacy alive By Joe Kovac Jr., jkovac@macon.com Last year when the Skydog Benefit Concert cranked up in Central City Park the Sunday before Thanksgiving, a longtime Allman Brothers Band fan showed up and told an event organizer that it reminded him of the old days when the Allmans themselves played in the park. "He said that it was just a trip down memory lane. ... He was just thanking us for the music we were playing, saying that helped him to relive a lot of those wonderful moments in his past," said Glenn Harrell, who is helping put on this year's benefit. The show is the second such concert designed to collect canned goods for the Middle Georgia Community Food Bank. "One person said they close their eyes and they were back at Fillmore East," Harrell said. "Our goal is not to become another Allman Brothers Band. Our goal is not to take anything away from the present Allman Brothers Band ... but to compliment them and appreciate the Allman Brothers for the contribution that they have given." To show that appreciation, several musicians will get together for Sunday's benefit concert, which aims to double the amount of food - 850 pounds - that it collected last year. Concertgoers are asked to take a canned good or two to contribute to the cause. Among the musicians lined up to play are: Paul Hornsby, Big Mike, Chris Hicks, Ken and Eric Wynn, and Tony Tyler. Harrell said the acts will play early Allman Brothers tunes and songs Duane Allman - whose "Skydog" nickname is where the benefit gets its name - recorded with BB King, Eric Clapton and Aretha Franklin. "I've been dreaming about (this benefit) for many years. I've chosen to focus on the many positive attributes that Duane's had on my life and on all the buddies I know that are great musicians," Harrell said. "The passion and the ability that Duane had to reach inside people's soul, that's really what has driven me to be about this. ... Duane was just a seriously passionate musician with skill to match his passion, and he played music in ways that a lot of us musicians only dream about today. ... The word that comes to my mind is abandon. Duane played with a musical abandon. He closed his eyes. ... He took people places. I call it 'Planet Skydog' because I don't know any other place it is." Sunday What: Skydog Benefit Concert Where: Central City Park When: Noon-5 p.m. Cost: Free, asked to take one or more canned goods Info: (478) 986-7093

i do not think that latin would help you read a stop sign thats in ...oh yea english like everyone other road sign in america all this is is politicians trying to justify there jobs and we stand in line and fall for it every time

"Novus Ordo Seclorum ... Annuit Coeptis". Those words are also on the dollar bill. Should we all rush out and learn Latin? 😉

Its simply amazing.... Are there any yellowdog Democrats left in CONgresS?

I recommend that we all learn as many languages as we can.
