For better or for worse, the first long-distance electric
power transmission line in theUnited States
is completed, running the 14 miles between a generator atWillamette
Falls and downtown Portland , Oregon
on this date in 1889. Our addiction to cheap clean electricity began on that
day.

I can’t play this song and not think of my friend Mr.
Holmes. He hates this song with the white-hot heat of a supernova. He toesn’t
hate Todd in general, just this song of his. I’ve asked him to try to work past
it, but to no avail. I’ve offered to pay for therapy. I have even threatened
him with repeated playings of a song he hates worse - GOOD MORNING STARSHINE by
Oliver – but I hate it as much as he does. So for now I shall have to deal with
the shame of letting down my friend by asking you to listen to this nugget from
Todd’s great breakout LP “Something/Anything”.
