For What It's Worth
Today
is my Friday for a very short 3-day workweek J. Another 3-day weekend is
waiting for me, which is nice! This weekend I think I will try to clean out the
interior of Linus, since he has been a mess since my last camping outing.
I need to stow things properly where they belong and sweep out all the sand and
clean up the carpet. Then I need to see where I can stow the additional bigger
things I plan on taking on my road trip such as my wagon, generator, and even
my small microwave oven I bought specifically for the trip (yes, I’m sure it
will come in very handy). Everything must have a proper place to be stowed,
otherwise it won’t all fit.
Today
for TBT (Throw Back Thursday) I posted
some photos from back in my USAF days when we were flying over to and in
Europe. You really never know how well you had it until later in life. I
loved flying everyday but it is hard to put down any roots when you are always
on the go, ya know? I kinda miss living life during those simple days. Life was
good back then!
Music Trivia
Today’s
music trivia is probably the most successful band of the past few
decades. First they started out as an Irish New Wave Band, then
during the grunge years they evolved into a great rock and roll
band. They have had so many hits, it is tough to count them all.
They are known to be quite outspoken when it comes to human rights and
overcoming world poverty. Many of their songs are political in nature touching
on many of societies world-wide issues, such as apartheid in South Africa,
terrorism, and world hunger. With hits such as “Pride (In the Name of Love)”,
“Sunday Bloody Sunday”, “One”, “Mysterious Ways”, “Even Better Than the Real
Thing”, “Bullet The Blue Sky”, “Sweetest Thing”, and so many others, this
four-member band performs in front of millions of fans every year. One of the
shortest band names in music, can you name this mega-group?

Where does this music take you back to?
I
myself hear a song or an album from the past and I am usually transported back
in time to a place or a person when I hear that particular music. Today we are
adding yet another new feature and we are asking you guys when you hear a
certain song or album, where does it take you back to… or who or what does it
make you think of?
Song: Color
My World by the group Chicago
This
song reminds me of the dances back in High School, such as the Homecoming Dance
and of course Prom, slow dancing with my girlfriend. I believe this
was the actual theme for our Senior Prom.
How
about you folks? Let us hear your memories…
