1. Warm smell of colitas
Rising up through the air.

I saw a shimmering light

15. My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night...

3. I have a question for you, MrScorpio.
How come you never respond to anybody else's posts? You only start your own. Correct me if I am mistaken.

Just curious.

4. I'm sorry
Edited on Mon Jul-31-06 11:09 PM by MrScorpio
I misunderstood the question

Yes I do like to start my own post

And I do reply to others as well


I just start a lot of posts

I just won't hijack a thread

Look around, you'll see me in there

5. I appreciate your response.
I've noticed something else. When you start a thread, and people respond, you don't answer them.

For example, you haven't answered anyone who responded to your "end of the world" thread.

But, hey, you have that right. I'm glad you are here.

6. If it's a "My favorite" thread, I just let it ride
But, I rarely kick my own threads, which is what I think a reply to each one would be

Now, if it's something like this, wich is more akin to a conversation, then I'm all for replying.

I'd rather have a discussion

If folks are just making a general statement, I'd rather they have the last word

I'm not too keep on oneupsmanship

7. My Mom had a miscarriage in the building shown on the cover of that album
It was used as a hospital for a few years after WWII. It's in Chino, California, and is on the grounds of the Chino State Prison now, but that building is not used.

9. I think it was only used for a few years as a hospital - I'll have to
check with my sister, who was there a couple of years ago to install a phone system at the prison, and she found out a little about that building while she was there. I think that the building shown on the inside of the album (the picture with the band members) was taken at a different place. If I find out more info from my sister I'll pass it along.

10. Mr. Scorpio, do you have the photo from "Hotel California" that depicts
the infamous 'devil's courtyard' shot? I've heard of it, but never seen it.
