These posts of the River, the Desert and the Lakes the River has created there takes me back to when I was just starting out in life and is literally bringing tears to my eyes. So I gotta stop talking about it. I'll bet I've driven by the Grand Canyon 40 or 50 times, but always on my way somewhere important and have never bothered to stop. Something my wife always wanted to do, but I just could not squeeze it in. CHIT!!!!!!! There's another one for you Lisa.

Very true, but if you know the right hidey spots..... hahahaha. I did it. DID being the operative word there, back in my 20's. Heck, in our teens my brother got a special group assigned to our neighborhood just to try and catch us. It was too big of a construction site though basically - too many houses being built, and we were on dirtbikes. Turning 18 definitely had some disadvantages!!! LOL

My dad had many stories about escaping both police and forest rangers on dirtbikes. Now you guys know where I get my crazy from. Although, I'm not quite as nuts as Brendan.

Speaking of which, when are you going out with that girl again?

I think I'll leave the running to Forrest Gump this time, I would friggin DIE. I'm more of a biker, but I wouldn't even venture to do that yet....it's like 20* outside, and my nose is plugged.....doubtful I could even breathe lol

You'd be surprised how depressing I find these pictures. I really do miss the desert. It just gets to damn cold at night there in the winter time though. I remember a real bone chilling cold. Is that how it seems to you too?

I got satellite radio because there's not a single station on FM radio that really plays good beats. hhmmmmm...

Perputuous Dreamer - The Sound of Goodbye



Here's a Tranced-up Mix version - Armin van Buren is good, but the original just has that... vibe .... that energy.... this track and those from yesterday in a string, and I just close my eyes and go.....
