I want to go on those car trips! Although, really I do like lots of kinds of music in the car. Most recent parental car trip included lots of Bob Marley, the one before that was all camp songs.
Hey! What a surprise! Hostile 17! Can I get you a drink, Hostile 17?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well, mom is talking about doing a cross country roadtrip in the next year or so (I'll probably join her for the NE leg when she heads up to Maine to visit my cousin & family....)
heh. Some of my musical tastes would probably drive her a bit batty, though she's flexible.
Car trips in our youth involved a lot of 50s and 60s rock. We fondly remember that mom slept across the state of Iowa to Buddy Holly. And she was driving. (It was just one side of the tape she doesn't remember.) We also did some books on tape. I mainly remember Bridge on the River Kwai.

What is even happening?
Cindy, I always feel compelled to disclaimer my dad because, well, it's just easier that way.Hee.
Growing up, my parents had tapes of Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynne singing "You're the Reason Our Kids Are Ugly". IJS.Okay, I'm learning that song, and singing it, next time dh and I get cranky with one another. That's hysterical.
Johnny Cash, I love. Willie Nelson, I adore. Loretta on her own, you bet. Conway AND Loretta. NSM.Hee. Oh, did you read little bam bam hold forth on Miss Loretta's recent album in the spoilers thread? It was yonks ago, now. But still? little bam bam. *contented sigh*
Or should I say a few hollars over.Okay, I'm starting to realize my "hee" isn't so post worthy, and yet? Hee.
Goodnight nice people.

This, I missed. And am sorry I did. I'll go back and find it though, because I've heard great things about it and Jack's White's work on it. Plus, I like the plucky lady. She's terribly funny and sounds EXACTLY like my Aunt Delphia.

I'm watching stuff on the tsunami. My brain is bending. Most of my news has been through NPR, without the visuals, which has allowed my brain to imagine the pictures, which was horrifying enough. This is just...insane.
I read someone somewhere who said that the reason the individual stories appeal so much is because we can't really comprehend the reality of the numbers. So we need one person, one story to begin to get a handle on it. All that water.

I heard an interview with Lynne on the collaboration with Jack White. It was neat (sounds like they had a blast), and the snippets sounded incredible.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
In case anyone is keeping track, today goes in the not very good day columns.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Aw, Lee, what's up?

I'm watching stuff on the tsunami. My brain is bending. Most of my news has been through NPR, without the visuals, which has allowed my brain to imagine the pictures, which was horrifying enough. This is just...insane.
There's one video I saw this morning, which must have happened after a first wave had come in. I don't know which country the video was taken in, but it was of a resort area, and you could see on man trying to help another man get into a building, for safety.
Moments later, the wall of water began pouring over the wall next to them, and the two men were swept away. Just like that.
That image got sort of burned into my mind.
Sorry to hear about your sucky day, Lee.
