Coconut Telegraph...I took off for a weekend last month just to try and recall the whole year.

Gotta get some art in my veins! Off to Moberg for a bit "o" Pontius and a beer from the back room. PBR? See you there!

Coconut Telegraph..."Warm beer and bread they said could raise the dead, but it reminds me of a menue at a Holiday Inn".

Coconut telegraph says..."Don't try to explain it, just nod your head, breath in breath out, move on.

Coconut Telegraph for the day. “Let the chips fall where they will, I’ve got boats to build”.
