    It would be a miracle if the isthmus of Panama didn't disappear due to rising sea levels! It would also be a miracle if I could find a place to lay my weary head to rest come Sunday bloody Sunday

    Hey Miami FLA..... can you use the word isthmus in a sentence? Touch bases with Fontsman.... Everybody sing along with Sarge..... No Donna isn't in this one..... I need a woman 'bout twice my age A lady of nobility, gentility and rage Splendor in the dark, lightning on the draw We'll go right through the book and break each and every law. I got a feeling and it won't go away, oh no Just one thing then I'll be ok I need a miracle every day. I need a woman 'bout twice my height Statuesque, raven-dressed, a goddess of the night. Her secret incantations, a candle burning blue We'll consult the spirits maybe they'll know what to do. And it's real and it won't go away, oh no I can't get around and I can't run away I need a miracle every day. I need a woman 'bout twice my weight A ton of fun who packs a gun with all her freight Find her in a sideshow leave her in L.A. Ride her like a surfer running on a tidal wave. And it's real, believe what I say, yeah Just one thing I got to say I need a miracle every day. It takes dynamite to get me up Too much of everything is just enough One more thing I just got to say I need a miracle every day, I need a miracle every day, I need a miracle every day, (got to be the only way) I need a miracle Please disregard the above....unless you need a place to lay your heads on 7/5.... We have a very kind community here.... And miracles happen....

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone And this house just ain't no home Anytime she goes away. Anytime she goes away. Anytime she goes away. Anytime she goes away.

    To whomever needs well wishing and happy thoughts, all of mine are being transported to you! Another day on the road...the children keep asking if we are there yet... Almost kiddies, hang on tight! here's a highway song for everyone: My love is in league with the freeway Its passion will ride, as the cities fly by And the tail-lights dissolve, in the coming of night And the questions in thousands take flight My love is a-miles in the waiting The eyes that just stare, and the glance at the clock And the secret that burns, and the pain that grows dark And it's you once again Leading me on - leading me down the road Driving beyond - driving me down the road My love is exceedingly vivid Red-eyed and fevered with the hum of the miles Distance and longing, my thoughts do provide Should I rest for a while at the side Your love is cradled in knowing Eyes in the mirror, still expecting they'll come Sensing too well when the journey is done There is no turning back - no There is no turning back - on the run My love is in league with the freeway Oh the freeway, and the coming of night-time My love is in league with the freeway

Ok so mayor Mike, where do we go....stay on the path you say, which one....there are so many roads.... Ahhhh the Golden road that Dorothy spoke of, the yellow brick road.... But to get there I have to go thru Detroit....aren't there Lions and Tigers there, yeah and then Chicago....bears? Oh my.... Hey Dorothy the meek remember if we get to see the wizard, aside from asking to go home to TO, I mean Kansas, you have to tell him that the Dead are only playing 3 shows, all in Chicago....and Trey will play Jerrys parts.....most disturbing though is that Donna won't be there..... Ooooohhhhhhhyahhhhhayyyahhhayyyyy...wait that caterwauling ....listen.... Playin like a wave up on the sand....ya here that....the Promised Land can't be far..... A little help here, I'm on this tightrope and there ain't no net....but if we stay on the path....I'm sure we will see Oz the Great and powerful, he's in the Emerald city of Bedrock..... Oh yeah brontosaurus burgers and pterodactyl stew for supper, hopefully the Great and Powerful Oz will bless the feast.....(hint, hint).... We're off to see the meister, the wonderful wizard of Oz.... Later kitties....

After addressing the poppy situation, 40 winks later, an ER visit and 2 amps of narcan, Homey wakes from his dream like state, steadfast on reaching the great and powerful Oz.... To his left he sees Dorothy doing the thriller dance with Michael...boy did Eddie Van Halen sell out...but for the sake of time we will save that thought for another day....

Having awoken from her poisonous sleep, Dorothy found herself being stared down by hundreds of field mice. Whilst she slept, the Tim man had chopped off the head of a wildcat who was chasing down the Queen of the Field Mice. "Off with its head", he shrieked! Wait that's a different tale.Oh well, off The path again and back down the rabbit hole I Goes.

As we begin the next chapter, Dorothy has just awoken from a DeLerious doze in the coCaIN fields. Tinman, by the stroke of his ax has decapitated a wildcat Who had been chasing the Queen of field mice. This brave feat has earned him A pledge of allegiance by the queen and the thousands of mice. No doubt this rodent help will come In handy for Dorothy and her crew on their quest.

Gotta change my avatar back....that was a sick joke....Mr T really?Not cool... Kitties... Follow your own paths... They are your own... There is a fountain..... If our paths cross in Chicago or Oz or Buffalo I am all in.... However I am taking a step back... To quote Roger Waters... Through the phish eyed lens of tear stained eyes I can barely define the shape of this moment in time And far from flying high in clear blue skies I'm spiraling down to the hole in the ground where I hide.... gotta get down to the Cumberland Mine, that's where I mainly spend my time.... If you need me, you know how to find me... Chicago or bust.... Happy April Fools Day... Thanks Tami, George, Totem, Friend...where's my money brah?, and Foghorn aka the chicken hawk... And especially Mike Langley...love you Klang.... rrrrrgrrrrr out!

All is right in the Dead.net City of Oz, except for the litter of meece, a headless wildcat, that barefoot lady with the house on top of her, and various characters in our play who might not ever look at a forum post under the Sundream Dayshiners thread ever again in the same way.... Thank you for imparting your wisdom on this thread, and showing it isn't just a great rock and roll band that can play "Space and Drums" during the middle of an otherwise structured set; characters like you can get pretty wild too. As you leave the theater of the mind, be sure to leave little crumbs so we can follow you safely out of the forest. Or, as the case may be, rescue you should you get lost. Take care, keep the stories coming this afternoon, know that the Wizard has your back, and you still have a few hours left on this April Ship of Fools Day to play your hand with us. We won't fold, we won't bluff, we won't double down, and we won't try to go all-in; that comes in July. Thanks one and all...as darkness descends this evening, fear not, the door is open, the fire burns steadily in the hearth, there is a snifter of brandy on the side table, and we'll leave the light on for you. Take care, don't ever forget your friends and family and be kind to all. Oh yes, one more thing...remember that you CAN dance as you listen to the river sing sweet songs to rock your soul, for you most certainly do know how these songs go.... Peace Geowizardfredmeister
