After watching the first two episodes (4 hours) of Ken Burns’ new documentary, I’m a little surprised at how much country music history there was before 1948. Many of the photos were reminiscent of the groups that performed at KBOA.

True Detective (Season One): Philosophy of Rust Cohle
I was not a fan of what I think of as the early Matthew McConaughey but his later stuff really speaks to me. Mud (2012) and Dallas Buyers Club (2013). Top of my list is his portrayal of Rust Cohle in the first season (2014) of the HBO series True Detective. In the scene above (with Woody Harrelson) Rust shares his view of the cosmos.

Squirrels and seagulls stealing GoPro cameras
The Internet will achieve no higher purpose than videos of squirrels and seagulls stealing GoPro cameras. I’m unclear on how the cameras were recovered. I eagerly await the day I can stream these live to high-end goggles.
O. Kay Henderson: On the campaign trail. Again.
Tonight’s PBS Newshour featured a segment that included an interview with my friend and former co-worker, O. Kay Henderson. I’ve known Kay for 32 years and — coincidently — she’s mentioned in 32 posts on this blog. I think I can safely say there is no one alive today that knows more about politics in Iowa than Ms. Henderson. It’s the only job she’s every had. She started covering politics while she was in college and came to work for Radio Iowa when she graduated and has been doing it ever since. [watch on YouTube]

Land Rover: Time for the soft top
Tomorrow we begin the process of removing the hard-top and replacing with a mesh hoop kit. More on that in a moment. The forecast is for rain the next four days (Calling for five inches in the next three days) so I decided to put the truck in my storage unit a bit early.
We were hoping to do the work just outside the unit where we’ll have some light and room to work. But I think we can make this work and I’m eager to make the switch. Here’s what the soft top will look like and here’s the instructional video by the supplier.
Behind the truck are four saw horses with 2×6 planks across them. Once the top is unbolted, we’ll lift it back to rest on the saw horses until this fall. We’ll post progress photos here.

These are the guys that lit my Land Rover fuse. I agree with Ricardo. The Land Rover is “the most photogenic” of all cars.
