Looks like we got about 5 inches. Light fluffy not the heavy wet stuff. Will wait for the plows to clear the street then go out and blow out the driveway.

 

threw a couple deck screws into the shed ramp....been there damn near 8 year.

 

Sugar Lips says I gots a loud exhaust and sometimes she swears she hears my horn toot while watchin' TV.

 

Back to watchin' Columbo. Me an Peter Faulk never did see...eye to eye!

 

Heard of a van that is loaded with weapons
Packed up and ready to go
Heard of some grave sites, out by the highway
A place where nobody knows
The sound of gunfire, off in the distance
I'm getting used to it now
Lived in a brownstone, lived in the ghetto
I've lived all over this town

This ain't no party, this ain't no disco
This ain't no fooling around
No time for dancing, or lovey dovey
I ain't got time for that now

Transmit the message, to the receiver
Hope for an answer some day
I got three passports, a couple of visas
You don't even know my real name
High on a hillside, the trucks are loading
Everything's ready to roll
I sleep in the daytime, I work in the nighttime
I might not ever get home

This ain't no party, this ain't no disco
This ain't no fooling around
This ain't no Mudd Club, or C.B.G.B
I ain't got time for that now

Heard about Houston? Heard about Detroit?
Heard about Pittsburgh, P. A.?
You oughta know not to stand by the window
Somebody might see you up there
I got some groceries, some peanut butter
To last a couple of days
But I ain't got no speakers, ain't got no
Headphones, ain't got no records to play

Why stay in college? Why go to night school?
Gonna be different this time
Can't write a letter, can't send a postcard
I can't write nothing at all
This ain't no party, this ain't no disco
This ain't no fooling around
I'd like to kiss you, I'd love you hold you
I ain't got no time for that now

Trouble in transit, got through the roadblock
We blended with the crowd
We got computer, we're tapping phone lines
I know that that ain't allowed
We dress like students, we dress like housewives
Or in a suit and a tie
I changed my hairstyle, so many times now
I don't know what I look like!
You make me shiver, I feel so tender
We make a pretty good team
Don't get exhausted, I'll do some driving
You ought to get you some sleep
Get you instructions, follow directions
Then you should change your address
Maybe tomorrow, maybe the next day
Whatever you think is best
Burned all my notebooks, what good are
Notebooks? They won't help me survive
My chest is aching, burns like a furnace
The burning keeps me alive
Try to stay healthy, physical fitness
Don't want to catch no disease
Try to be careful, don't take no chances
You better watch what you say............................................... .................................................. ................................David Byrne, Talking heads 1979 or thereabouts foretelling the future.....Genius Lyrics to "Life During Wartime"

 

Byrne was pretty prescient in this thinking about where society was headed. In 1979, he told NME,

"There will be chronic food shortages and gas shortages and people will live in hovels. Paradoxically, they’ll be surrounded by computers the size of wrist watches. Calculators will be cheap. It’ll be as easy to hook up your computer with a central television bank as it is to get the week’s groceries. I think we’ll be cushioned by amazing technological development and sitting on Salvation Army furniture. Everything else will be crumbling. Government surveillance becomes inevitable because there’s this dilemma when you have an increase in information storage. A lot of it is for your convenience – but as more information gets on file it’s bound to be misused." A quote from Genius.com...Pretty skeery stuff, EH?

 

to stir crazy to care coastie.....cabin fever set in, all I wanna do is ride and pay golf........happens every race car super bowl.

 

Yep The line about the ache in his chest hits home for me....Working on getting my swing back also, after the stents I should have more endurance.

 

my swing ha! I don't have one...got a fairway wood in the mail, took a few swings and I almost lost a spine vertebrae!.....range time and loosening the muscles.....no sense in speeding up something that takes it's own time.

 

Mmmmm..Quiet in here this morning. Everyone sleeping in 'cause of the holiday? Just got in from shoveling and salting a leftover snow/ice mix down here at the job. Well wish you all a great day.
