Okay - false alarm. I'm still on my old phone for at least one more day.  I did get my new phone, and I'm excited about it, but it was not quite ready to go this morning. My old phone is not doing well, but hopefully it will last long enough....

I'm just going to jump right into the Featured Friday shuffle - we have all sorts of things today: a bamboo harvester, a wolf, space pants, pistols, an inflatable duck, and a row boat and more...

"What am I Gonna Do With My New Pair of Pants (in Space)" by Discount Ravioli

From The Baby Arm Sessions - a song about a new pair of pants (in space) that tackles the tough issues  like - can you buy pants in space, are their streets in space, what do you do when you're recording and the battery on your recorder starts to fail, and more...
