Happy Hour

"IF A LIFETIME CAN BE LIKENED TO A DAY, THEN THIS IS HAPPY HOUR!"
BUCK PENNINGTON

Mother, Mother Ocean

Mother, Mother Ocean, I've heard you call
Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all
Watched the men who rode you, switch from sails to steam
In your belly you hold the treasures, few have ever seen
Most of 'em dream, most of 'em dream
Yes, I am a pirate, two hundred year's too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late

Yoda

"Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is."
―Yoda, to Luke Skywalker

Counted the Stars

Counted the stars on the 4th of July
Wishing we were rockets bursting in the sky
Talking about redemption and leaving things behind
I have these pictures and I keep these photographs
To remind me of a time
These pictures and these photographs
Let me know I'm doin' fine
We used to be so happy once upon a time
Once upon a time
But the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line
And the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line

Winslow, Arizona

Got Dark and Cold.
Stopped in Flagstaff to pick up a book at Barnes and Noble by NAU.
We have a decent weather forecast for the remainder of the trip. Gas is on the average of thirty to forty cents less per gallon than Kalifornistan! The Love's and Pilot at Parker AZ exit 9 regular was 2.69 a gallon. Later this AM the one station here in Winslow is 2.64.
And we are not "standin' on a corner" Motel Six.

A friend of mine sent me a picture recently of him "standin' on the corner" there. It seems the Good People of Winslow have commissioned and installed a life-sized bronze statue of Jackson Browne doin' that same thing. A pretty good photo op, actually.

The Welcome sign next to the Safeway shopping center has a picture of that.
And the town has Standin' on The Corner Days!
