WISHED I COULD THINK OF SOMETHING INTERESTING TO WRITE ABOUT

After publishing last night's post, I did something on the spur of the moment that I had not done for maybe a decade or more.  I walked out to our carport, hopped onto Kelly's bicycle and took myself for a ride around a couple blocks here in our Bayfield Pines Park.  I was a bit wobbly heading out our driveway but one never really forgets how to ride a bicycle and I was no exception.  It sure felt good for my legs leaving them a little rubbery when I returned to the house.

After a Jeep ride into Bayfield and back for the furry Kid and I this morning I hitched up the utility trailer, loaded up my piles of yard waste, and dumped the load at our Park's recycle area.  All went well under clear blue sunny skies.  Following that, I knew enough to head back into the house and put my feet up to give my hip a rest.  If I do things in moderation I will be okay.  Wished I could think of something interesting to write about for a change............

A DRIVE THROUGH BAYFIELD

Al's Music Box:(( Telegraph Road (this song is a slow starter so give it time to build.....and it is 14 minutes long) "Telegraph Road" is a song by British rock band Dire Straits, written by Mark Knopfler. It is the opening track on the 1982 album Love over Gold.   While it received limited airplay due to its 14-minute length, it has become one of the band's most beloved songs.   Telegraph Road is a major north-south 70-mile (110 km) thoroughfare in Michigan, and Mark Knopfler was inspired to write the song while riding in the front of the tour bus, which made the journey down Telegraph Road. At the same time, Knopfler was reading the novel Growth of the Soil by the Nobel Prize-winning Norwegian author Knut Hamsun and he was inspired to put the two together and write a song about the beginning of the development along Telegraph Road and the changes over the ensuing decades.  In a contemporary review for Rolling Stone magazine, David Fricke praised "Telegraph Road", and he characterized as a "challenge to the average pop fan's attention span" with its "historic sweep and intimate tension."; it is overall considered as one of the band's best songs if not outright their absolute masterpiece.  Loudersound.com ranks "Telegraph Road" 6th among Dire Straits' best songs, while Return of Rock ranks it 5th, describing it as "A fourteen-minute masterpiece worth every second of its length, which it deserves to be on the list of the best long-form songs and progressive rock songs."

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A football coach was asked about his star lineman.  The coach replied, "He doesn't know the meaning of the word fear. In fact, I have seen his grades and there are a lot of words he doesn't know the meaning of!"
