ahh local news...

Today is the start of Deer season and the local news has a guy standing in front of a convenience store covering the opening day. They are "Live and Local", but they aren't doing anything worthwhile. They should be there when the guys start checking in their deer, not at 5 AM when the hunters are stopping off for coffee and Little Debbie Star Crunchs while on the way to the woods...

Now for

Flashback Blues

While window shopping through the past
I ran across a looking glass
Reflecting moments remaining in a burned out light
Tragic magic prayers of passion
Stay the same through changing fashions
They freeze my mind like water on a winter's night

Spent most of my youth
Out hobo cruising
And all I got for proof
Is rocks in my pockets and dirt in my shoes
So goodbye nonbeliever
Don't you know that I hate to leave here
So long babe, I got the flashback blues.

Photographs show the laughs
Recorded in between the bad times
Happy sailors dancing on a sinking ship
Cloudy skies and dead fruit flies
Waving goodbye with tears in my eyes
Well, sure I made it but ya know it was as hell of a trip.

Spent most of my youth
Out hobo cruising
And all I got for proof
Is rocks in my pockets and dirt in my shoes
And ten times what it grieves you
That's how much more I hate to leave you now
So long babe, I got the flashback blues.

Spent most of my youth
Out hobo cruising
And all I got for proof
Is rocks in my pockets and dirt in my shoes
So goodbye nonbeliever
Don't you know that I hate to leave here
So long babe, I got the flashback blues.

Cold day today, I think they said the high might get around 40, so I had to dig out the insulated underwear. brrrrrrr

time to warm up the truck
