WHERE MUSIC LISTENS TO YOU

I Never Saw The Sunset Over An Ocean ....

Posted 5 months ago


I never looked up because I heard some noisy geese making their southern trek before the cold months of winter. Come to think about, I never experienced winter.

I have walked through the woods. At first with Robert then by myself. I feel silly imagining it on my own, but I think Robert would say, "That's fine. even if the colors are wrong, you got the idea at least."

My buddy swam in a lake once. Lake George in upstate New York. It's easy to find. Just look for the Great Lakes and train the scope to the right of Lake Ontario. Through one of the satellite feeds I was able to see his car because his family said they would paint the roof flat black so I could zero in with the infrared scope. I couldn't call him because of the harsh solar radiation going on around here. Really screws up surface to surface comms.

Buzz Adrin said, "... you could strech out your arm and cover the Earth with your thumb. That's all of humanity." He's right you know. I do it every so often. Wipe them out with my thumb. Snuffed like a candle.

I can't believe it's Landing Day let alone the 400th celebration. Most years go unnoticed, we play it up big every decade and 25 year mark. It's a reason to get out of school and hang out at the rec. center.


Still I wonder, "How far have we have come?"

    We are moving toward the great chiropractic world neck adjustment. It's all good.

    Where are the words from?

    Great.

    I like to think of the size both as a place keeper and a motivator. Why did I get to experience the pain and joy of this sphere? Though we are small we are here because we have heart.

    Thats a recording from the news as he reported it. The man was in tears. There isn't much Walter didn't cover since the late 30's. He was there and in it.

    IMO there is nowhere to go but inward but it will never make "sense". Have a good evening...

    Can't seem to stop having tangential thoughts here, but I think this just goes to show the extreme lack of imagination that has infected this nation. What an inspiration!

    IMO inward is outward. There is more.

    Nighty night.

    Dude it is all around. Collect it and use it.

    Imagination isn't in short supply. I think it is hard to find. Only because of the noise we 'hear' everyday. It gets hard to pinpoint.

    Hey 'tangentize' away, I like to go for a ride.

    All those things they have talked about with Walter I was there for. So does that make me old. I don't think so. Just a part of history. I often wonder what Hagen & Gertie would think of there Germany becoming one again. After what they lived through. Galen & Chris stop and smell the roses once in a while. I left my heart a long time ago at the farm in Leighton. That is why I preserve farm history.
