Cars are an expensive pain in the butt. It was time to do some maintenance on the Honda, but the nearest Honda dealer is in St Cloud, so I had to get up early and drive across the state on icy snowy roads to get it serviced. They were quick and bounced me right back on the road to head home again.
I don’t do much driving any more, so this was an opportunity to while away the miles playing old tunes. For some reason, I fired up my old collection of 60s and 70s music. Joan Baez! Laura Nyro!
I got fury in my soul, fury’s gonna take me to the glory goal
In my mind I can’t study war no more
Save the people, save the children
Save the country, save the country, save the country
I think we need to bring back the 60s — the hippies had the right idea. Sure, they were a little vague on how to save the country, but we’ve had over 50 years to think on it. I’m sure we’ve got a plan by now, right?
