Jump into the Fog

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpadYhXHgwA Jump Into the Fog - The Wombats

I love, Love, LOVE this song and the Wombats. Oh, since 1998 when the did a cover of an Operation Ivy song.

It has been very foggy here. We had fog ALL Day for like 5 days. I've never lived in a place where the fog got denser as the day went.

On most week days I go to the gym at 5am. On Wednesday I say frozen fog, it's really interesting. It looks like sparkles all over the air.

I tried to take pictures but nothing does it justice. It made for a very spooky atmosphere for Halloween. I must say I found Halloween a bit odd here. There were people with porch and drive way lights blazing and they didn't answer their door or hand out candy. Jerks! Halloween had some cute kids and some even wore coats, not my kids which I was proud of. They weren't bothered by 40 degree weather even though they are Florida-born.

Pumpkins last longer in this cool, cold, (today) frozen weather. In Florida a pumpkin rots and turns to mush in like three days.

Good Enough for Grandad

Good Enough For Grandad by The Squirrel Nut Zippers When I was in my Junior year of high school I took a class called Theory of Knowledge (I was in the International Baccalaureate Program). Another student in that class, Kara Durand, mentioned a band called Squirrel Nut Zippers. I borrowed one of their CDs from the public library and loved the big band instruments: trumpet, trombone, saxophone (which I played). The Summer between my Junior and Senior year of high school I visited my maternal grandparents in Belleville, IL (a small town outside of St. Louis). They and my Uncle Mark actually liked most of the songs. They were giving my sister betsy their old copper color 1982 Toyota Corolla. One of the things we did was take the car and get a new stereo system so we could play CDs. I drove that car from Illinois back to Florida with no air conditioning but we were playing all of the Squirrel Nut Zippers CDs that I bought used at Vinyl Fever in South Tampa. When I was in colle...

Informer (Snow)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0yGvypBwyA  Informer - Snow I know this is a weird song choice but whenever I hear "snow" I automatically thing of this cheesey song from around Middle School (maybe high school). I just learned that Snow was from Canada, you can't make this stuff up. I wonder if he was a bastard like Jon Snow... I mean I know Jon is actually Aegon and not a bastard but bastards of the North were given the last name "Snow". Sorry for my trip into Game of Thrones. Anyways, it snowed on Saturday, October 21st! It was chilly in the morning and I had already planned to change the tire tires out and while I was at it change out the air filter, cabin air filter, and wipers. While I was at it I was going to change the brake pads. Well, that was the plan... the auto parts store gave me a power steering motor instead of an engine air filter (I knew that thing felt too heavy) and Kendall Toyota gave me the wrong size brake pads. On my way to e...

Seasons - Turn, Turn, Turn

Image
To everything (turn, turn, turn) There is a season (turn, turn, turn) And a time to every purpose, under heaven A time to be born, a time to die A time to plant, a time to reap A time to kill, a time to heal A time to laugh, a time to weep A time to gain, a time to lose A time to rend, a time to sew A time for love, a time for hate A time for peace, I swear it's not too late Turn! Turn! Turn! - The Byrds   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4ga_M5Zdn4 Whenever I think of the seasons changing I think of this song. I surprised first of all that it was not sung by the Beatles. I knew it came from the Bible, Ecclesiastes. I was also surprised to learn that the song was written by Pete Seeger. We are approaching the end of Fall. I arrived at the end of Winter in March and have almost seen the whole cycle of seasons. I was pleasantly surprised to experience Spring. I realized it was Spring by two things that  occurred. First the snow on the mountains receded ...
