I'm off to Colorado Springs in about an hour, for my first service check up on my car. I bought the car in the Springs, so I have to do my first few check ups at that location. It's about 45-55 minute drive so not awful. And it's almost all highway.
Yesterday we had CRAZY hail/rain here, and at my sister's house. This was a picture taken of the weather over her house.
There is hope for this newest generation. Last Wednesday I took my youngest grand daughter for a ride in my car.
I turned on the Sirius/xm radio to "Ozzy's Boneyard".
She says, "You give me some Black Sabbath? I like Black Sabbath."
She also likes Van Halen, Whitesnake, and AC/DC.
She is 4 years old.

We had about 2/3's of the hail/rain she had. It's a mess here, too. Not as bad as hers, tho.

Them's some dark clouds, MsMod!
Yep, it was pretty crazy. Lots of damage to trees/flowers. At her house AND here.

While student teaching, I heard a second grader ask another, Do you like Pink Floyd?" The reply was,Yeah, he's great!"
Back from my oil change AND I stopped at the store for a few things for me, and Cameron. Car is in good shape. I didn't expect anything less, it only has just over 1600 miles on it.
Mr. SPH - Thanks, as always! Creola is one of those frequently overlooked songs. When I hear it on RM it's like finding a 4-leaf clover - an unexpected treat! Who else but Jimmy would rhyme Creola with Victrola!
Penny - those are some very foreboding clouds! Glad it wasn't near you at the time!
Big John - I love hearing stories like that! But it does make me wonder about the future of music... the artists of our youth have left some HUGE shoes to fill, for sure!
Bill - that's too funny!
In Boston with... "this caribbean soul I can barely control and Long Island's always here in my heart"
