I remember when the first Star Wars came out. My dad took me.

Watergate and the Vietnam war was behind us, and the nation was looking for something.   The pulse of America was that we’d lost…. something.

I see it now. people are looking for something.  Maybe a good vs. Evil thing.    I don’t know.

It’s just Star Wars.   But its selling out theaters, even before its released.

I see it at work;  Millennials are looking for something.  You can only sit and judge something on Facebook for so long.    They live in a world where they haven’t had to had to push anything uphill.

History, will repeat itself.

America, will pull Through.

This made me kinda giggle…

Watched a Glen Campbell documentary this weekend on Netflix.

Great song, from a guy who was a killer session guitarist, a beach boy at one time, and a consummate songwriter in a rite all of his own.      Its been in my head all day.

Its a friday.   Ever been royally pissed off because someone else was stupid?   yeah, i’m there.

Stupid is such a relative term.   People vary in stupidity.   On this level,  I gotta think this guy is stupid level 5.   I’ve seen way stupider, and yet I’m pissed off level 10.

This won’t last long.    Hell, typing this out has dropped it to level 9 or maybe 8.

one sec….

Yeah, its at a 4 now.

Fucking idiot.

Thanks for bearing with me.

Great song, great message.    That is, if you know who this band is made up of, where they’ve been.   We’ve all experienced something.     Ever been to the end of the line?

The tour is over. It  has been, since 2 nights ago.   I’m hanging out in an El Paso Texas motel room now.   I have 2 more days to get to Hawthorne California, clean out my van and head home.

I hope these guys had a good time.   I think they did.   I know I did.

I can say this:  the view is a lot different from the captains chair.

I’m still digesting it.

I’m ready.    Whatever I don’t have, I’ll figure out on the road.    That’s half the fun of riding I think;  Solving a problem as it comes at you.    I got my CPR and First Aid Certifications today, bought several pairs of new socks, and I have money in my wallet.      I’ll pack tomorrow.   I can’t hardly screw that up.

Missus Zip told me she has anxiety because I haven’t made a list.  I love her, but I hate lists.   To me, it just means you haven’t thought it all through somehow.    It’s like my Dad told me before my honeymoon:  “Take twice the money and half the clothes”.    The old man knew a thing…

I am ready to ride.

Putting together some music for the trip.   A great song, on a good road, at the right time is a beautiful thing…
