2025 06 06 – A Day in the Life
“Space Oddity” is a song written and performed by David Bowie and released as a music single in 1969. It is about the launch of Major Tom, a fictional astronaut; its title alludes to the film 2001: A Space Odyssey, released the previous year. The lyrics have also been seen to lampoon the failed British space programme. The song appears on the album David Bowie (also known as Space Oddity). The BBC featured the song in its television coverage of the Apollo 11 launch and lunar landing, which took place in the days following the release of the song.
What a nice find on the Utubs. I was a whole 5 years old when this was performed so it’s quite the pleasant experience some almost 60 years later. Speaking to that fact, it’s funny for me to blurt out lyrics to a song I’ve heard umpteengazzion times and find out the person I’m working with has either never heard it and for the most part wasn’t alive when it was first given to public consumption. It’s funny getting older. Getting older was something I never expected to be since our motto years ago is/was “die young and look good at your funeral.” Abet, you attend enough funerals and you realize the real goal is to be so old the dust is already forming around your ancient corpse. 😉
2025 02 14-16 A Day in the life
Conway, South Carolina – 05:00 – it’s coffee time. 06:00 – it’s departure time.
Once arriving in Boone’s Mill, I began to see residual snow on the North face hills/woods, then after a few more hills, the mountain tops showed signs of the previous winter storm. The downed trees due to God’s pruning were all along the highway.
Lexington, Virginia has a massive amount of real History in it that I had totally missed out upon prior to this visit. Due to the nature of this visit, no visiting and/or exploration was done to any real extent. (More to come…)
The trip back was very rough to start with due to the winter storm blowing in from the West. Water was coming down as if an Ark had been built. *wink* Having Tractor-trailers on the roadways in bunches was a pain when some “numbnut” wasn’t passing with ‘authority.’ Come’on ppl its deadly out here an you are running at 50mph in a 70mph, ignore the warning signs of weather it’s only rain. “What you haven’t driven in hurricanes before?”
After Greensboro, the weather eased up and the ride was rather relaxing till Horry County.
Sunday we worshipped and got the lawn done once the rains moved on. The temperatures are going to drop for Monday and the rest of next week.
