    although Tedeschi Trucks is better... I wish I knew how It would feel to be free I wish I could break All the chains holding me I wish I could say All the things that I should to say Say 'em loud say 'em clear For the whole round world to hear I wish I could share All the love that's in my heart Remove all the bars That keep us apart I wish you could know What it means to be me Then you'd see and agree Everyone should be free I wish I could give All I'm longin' to give I wish I could live Like I'm longin' to live I wish I could do All the things that I can do Though I'm way overdue I'd be starting anew. I wish I could be like a bird in the sky How sweet it would be If I found out I could fly I'd soar to the sun And look down at the sea And I sing 'cause I know Everyone should be free..... Sarge has left ba dus....on an evening stroll.... Tomorrow, God willing and the creek don't rise......

    @ You can never leave Da Dus!
    I can hardly remeber where I was before I got on da dus... Remember when the days were long And rolled beneath a deep blue sky Didn't have a care in the world With mommy and daddy standin' by But "happily ever after" fails And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales The lawyers dwell on small details Since daddy had to fly But I know a place where we can go That's still untouched by men We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by And the tall grass wave in the wind You can lay your head back on the ground And let your hair fall all around me Offer up your best defense But this is the end This is the end of the innocence O' beautiful, for spacious skies But now those skies are threatening They're beating plowshares into swords For this tired old man that we elected king Armchair warriors often fail And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales The lawyers clean up all details Since daddy had to lie But I know a place where we can go And wash away this sin We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by And the tall grass wave in the wind Just lay your head back on the ground And let your hair spill all around me Offer up your best defense But this is the end This is the end of the innocence Who knows how long this will last Now we've come so far, so fast But, somewhere back there in the dust That same small town in each of us I need to remember this So baby give me just one kiss And let me take a long last look Before we say goodbye Just lay your head back on the ground And let your hair fall all around me Offer up your best defense But this is the end This is the end of the innocence

    Miami you are good people...great sense of humor.....and for sure an old soul.....got music down and quick on the draw....That was the dog talking.... On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim I had to stop for the night There she stood in the doorway; I heard the mission bell And I was thinking to myself, "This could be Heaven or this could be Hell" Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way There were voices down the corridor, I thought I heard them say... Welcome to the Hotel California Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place) Such a lovely face Plenty of room at the Hotel California Any time of year (Any time of year) You can find it here Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys she calls friends How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat. Some dance to remember, some dance to forget So I called up the Captain, "Please bring me my wine" He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine" And still those voices are calling from far away, Wake you up in the middle of the night Just to hear them say... Welcome to the Hotel California Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place) Such a lovely face They livin' it up at the Hotel California What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise) Bring your alibis Mirrors on the ceiling, The pink champagne on ice And she said "We are all just prisoners here, of our own device" And in the master's chambers, They gathered for the feast They stab it with their steely knives, But they just can't kill the beast Last thing I remember, I was Running for the door I had to find the passage back To the place I was before "Relax, " said the night man, "We are programmed to receive. You can check-out any time you like, But you can never leave! " At least we are still on ba dus....

    @ I don't roll on shabbos!
    Good evening sir and Sarge Twilight on the frozen lake North wind about to break On footprints in the snow Silence down below You’re beautiful beyond words You’re beautiful to me You can make me cry Never say goodbye Time is all I have to give You can have it if you choose With me you can live Never say goodbye My dreams are made of iron and steel With a big bouquet Of roses hanging down From the heavens to the ground The crashing waves roll over me As I stand upon the sand Wait for you to come And grab hold of my hand Oh, baby, baby, baby blue You’ll change your last name, too You’ve turned your hair to brown Love to see it hangin’ down

    Roll On Reach a hand to the crescent moon grab hold of the hollow If she sits in the palm of the left that moon will be fuller tomorrow If she sits in the palm of the right that moon is on the wane and the love of the one who shares your bed will be doing just the same 'Won't you come with me', she said, 'there's plenty of room in my iron bed You're looking cold and tired and more than a little human I know I'm not part of the life you had planned, but I think once your body feels my hand your mind will change and your heart will lose its pain' Out among the fields gently hipped beneath the corn, Assiniboine bones beneath the highway he stood there and he thought of home A finger traces the path of a satellite You're drawn to a distant copse of trees A voice as sweet as Mare's Tail clings to the prairie breeze 'Won't you come with me', she said, 'there's plenty of room in my iron bed You're looking cold and tired and more than a little human I know I'm not part of the life you had planned, but I think once your body feels my hand your mind will change and your heart will lose its pain' Do I reach for you when I know you're on the wane? Do I sense you when I know you're not around? Do I search for you when I know you can't be found? Do I dare to speak your name? Raise your eyes to a moonless sky and try to wish upon a rising star Search all you want for her blessing but you won't find her sparkling there Now cast your eyes to a part of the sky where nothing but darkness unfolds and watch as all around you she reveals the brilliance of secrets untold Won't you come with me, she said, there's plenty of room in my iron bed You're looking cold and tired and more than a little human I know I'm not part of the life you had planned, but I think once your body feels my hand your mind will change and your heart will lose its pain

    @if I was from Paris...I'd say....
    I'm a roaming cowboy riding all day long, Tumbleweeds around me sing their lonely song. Nights underneath the prairie moon, I ride along and sing this tune. See them tumbling down Pledging their love to the ground Lonely but free I'll be found Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds. Cares of the past are behind Nowhere to go but I'll find Just where the trail will wind Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds. I know when night has gone That a new world's born at dawn. I'll keep rolling along Deep in my heart is a song Here on the range I belong Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds. the Dude abides.....

    est -ce qu'il va tomber en amour? I have been a rover since I was a child, No one to love or care for me. Knocked around all over, kinda grew up wild - My home's wherever I may be. Ain't no someone yearnin', wonderin' where I be; I'm gone, but no one's missin' me; Ain't no light a-burnin' ev'ry night for me; I'm like a bird that's flyin' free. (Melody:) I'm just breezin' along with the breeze, Trailin' the rails, roamin' the seas. Like the birdies that sing in the trees, Pleasin' to live, livin' to please. (Bridge:) The sky is the only roof I have over my head; And when I'm weary, Mother Nature makes my bed. I'm just goin' along as I please, Breezin' along with the breeze.

LOL. I used to live on Lake Erie. You should see the little ponds they call lakes down here. I'm always like, that is not a lake, that's a retention pond! Hotdogs ain't nothin' but beef, lips, and assholes no matter what kind of fancy Chicago toppings you put on it! I do like catsup on my turkey dogs though. :P

you kids in upstate NY have it sometimes worse than us - granted it is way colder where I am, but that is a function of the fact I live near the g'd arctic circle...f-you Saskatchewan (how do you spell or say that again?!?). Nothing sends a chill through the spine of someone living near the great lakes like the term 'lake effect snow' read - utter hell and massive accumulations. I grew up near D-town and typically got around 10 to 15 ft of accumulation every winter...just mother nature took mercy on us and got rid of it by say early May...Where I am now, she just flips the bird at us and says "suck it up buttercup"

I do not miss the stiff wind and ball-shrinking wind chill blowing onshore from Lake Erie. Eh, rrrrrgrrrr? The only buttercups ever sucked up was my ball sack into my body cavity. I say Eh? because I could see Canada most days from some point. The only difference between Buffalonians and Canadians is, well there is none except the accent. Eh? But, Labatts Blue is not considered an import there like it is here. I love your beer Canada! At least I don't have to deal with all those Canadian quarters in my pocket anymore. Does this have anything to do with SSD planning? By Friday, my mind just turns to mush. Sorry for the rambling. I think my frantic Friday ramblings scared clowns off the other forum. p.s. sorry ladies, I'm, pretty sure you didn't need to hear all that ball talk.

EWWWWWW! Do love the green bottles south of the border though...I grew up in the home of Labatt's and only drank it for fear of any friends of mine who worked at the plant seeing me drinking something else...they got PISSED. Anyhoo, we do have coats, but this whole 8 months of winter thing has to end...drives one a bit batty to be honest. Now back to our regular programming - I have lots of ice for our beer and maybe some for margarita mix! AND WE DON'T ALL SAY EH! (actually I do - seemingly only when I travel and people are looking for it, it seems to creep out...weird)

The rooster did not crow today, but the crow did caw. The shadow on the dark side of the moon points to 97. 97 I say, the remaining time to cleanse the liver, grow some New Mother Nature, and get ourselve's in festival shape so we can once again gather and dance each day aware until the sun demands we celebrate again. That's right ladies and gentlemen, patch those sails and shine those rails! An odyssey lies on the horizon. Look! for it appears far, yet is near. o.k. I think I owed y'll a little more today since I'm late, I'm, I'm late, I'm late. Down the rabbit hole I go again.
