  1. Hey Folks,

    Here in the urban vastness surrounding Austin, TX, it's possible to
    ride into pockets of serenity. Today, to go along with the buttloads of
    whitetail deer that are common here, I saw my first roadrunner of the
    year. A day to celebrate. Music - My Life in the Bush of Ghosts -
    Brian Eno and David Byrne.

    There used to be this Lone Star beer commercial,
    of an armadillo blithely waddling across a highway
    in the summer heat, as the doppler effects of an
    approaching semi approaches, blasting the notes of
    Surfing Bird (by Sam the Sham and the Pharaoes.)

    The semi was full of Lone Star beer. I guess the
    armadillo was full of ... I dunno ... bugs, 'n other
    disgusting stuff that gets revealed when critters
    get squashed on the highway pavement.

    Here in Vancouver we have feral/released/escaped
    bunnies. We also have coyoots.

    That's a brilliant combination; I like it.
    Eno needs people to settle him down just
    enough.

    Lately I'm into the (UK) Chamelions.
    They're not too unlike Wishbone Ash,
    and scarily similar to later incarnations
    of The Beatles, but applicable to now.

    And I for some reason I can't get the
    Jethro Tull song: Nothing To Say, outa
    my head. I guess it has to do with
    stuff going on at work.

    Climb a tower of freedom.

    cheers,
    Tom
