So if you think you can play guitar, take a look at this. When you can do this, then you can really play, everything else is just plonking.

Some supposed guitar people on here tell me I don't know anything. They recommend junk like lemon oil for fretboards, and then have the nerve to tell me that mineral oil or boiled linseed oil is wrong. Why? I've restored and rebuilt hundreds of guitars, from the 20's to the 2010's, and everywhere in between. Not only that, why do they have to be jerks about it? Sow we disagree, okay, that's cool, but calling me names and such, that's totally uncalled for.

The Mighty Tomato Has struck out.

(my apologies to Casey at the Bat.)

The crowd gathered to see his last run

His high flying tricks were always fun

The man did fly, but was holding back

Playing it safe was the way for this track

Such was not the way of the man we knew

Holding back was not something he'd do.

The last run, last chance to fly high and win

No more holding back now, no reining in.

At great risk the man of gold did hard try

To win the gold by flying good and high

The lights did dim, the crowed did gasp

The mighty has fallen, all hopes are dashed

There is no joy in Carlsbad on this long night

The golden man has not flown high and tight

Some will holler, some will cuss, some will shout

The mighty Flying Tomato has at last struck out.

Gas bill is skyrocketing this cold winter. I'd like keep one room of a small apartment warmer than the rest of the house, to save on the gas bill, but if it runs up the electric bill as much or more, why bother, so I'd like to know the real story. They claim it costs only pennies a day to operate, sure that might be true, but is it a hell of a lot of pennies?
