On July 14th 1912 Woodrow Wilson Guthrie was born in Okemah Oklahoma. Now virtually no one knows him by that name. We just know him as Woody. Every year on the weekend closest to his birthday, there is a folk music festival held in his old home town. This year was the 15th annual Woodyfest. The festival celebrates Woody's life and music. And I was lucky enough to get to go again this year.
Rambling thoughts from someone trying to keep his "I wish I had..." list as
short as possible.

Lucky 10,000

Recently the web comic xkcd (xkcd.com/1053) had a comic about things “everyone knows”. There are so many things that we think “everybody knows” it can be easy to be surprised when we run across someone that doesn't know. For example everyone knows what happens when you put Mentos in Diet Coke.
