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

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

Morning on the way to work
Morning in the Antelope Valley
Top: Tehachapi Mountains with snow on top!
Middle: The comm hill at Edwards AFB past CA Route 58 and The Old Santa Fe RR from Cal City Blvd
Purty ! Ain't it? Sue-Glad to be of service. Buck-All that is left at Boron is the borax mine and loading facility. It is visible from the line. Swampie-The warm of FL is OK, but there is just something about the desert.
The last time I was in your neck of the woods, I was agog at the wind turbines that covered the landscape near Palm Springs/Palm Desert, as far as the eye could see. Real ugly.
There is a wind turbine farm on the Tehachapi Mountains on the East side from Mojave going up the hill. They are numerous and easily visible from the West end of Cal City when the haze is not present.
I will not go down and tell my children I didn't have the courage, the conviction, the commitment or the character to fight for this country...Don't go home and let your children down~~ LTC Allen West

Aw, damnit. That makes me desertsick!
Brings back memories of Former Happy Days, these do.
I always love to see the mountains in the distance across the desert floor - wonderful stuff. By the way, thanks for the wake up call :)
