Cruel Summer -

Hot summer streets
And the pavements are burning I sit around

Too hot to handle, baby
Trying to smile
But the air is so heavy and dry.....

YESSSS!

After The Goldrush -Neil Young

Well, I dreamed I saw the silver
Space ships flying
In the yellow haze of the sun,
There were children crying
And colors flying..... BONK !!

Out Here in the Middle - James Mc Murtry

....Out here in the middle
Where the center's on the right
And the ghost of William Jennings Bryan preaches every night
To save the lonely souls
in the dashboard lights...

You're not on fire Ricky Bobby !!!!!!!!

Ridin' the Storm Out - REO Speedwagon

.........The wind outside is frightening,
But its kinder than the lightning life in the city.
Its a hard life to live but it gives back what you give.

And......... we did NOT get rained on. Amazing

Ashland City, June 13th 

This Old Town,  Tom Petty

......The hills are gold
Mornings are cold
Don't know a soul on the street
I keep to myself like everyone else
Nobody says much to me....

Alto Road

Arnold AFB to Sewanee via Alto rd, back through Cowan.......

In the Summertime - Mungo Jerry

In the summertime when the weather's high, 
you can stretch right up and touch the sky,
when the weather's fine,
you got mountains, you got mountains on your mind.
Have a drink, have a ride,
go out and see what you can find.

CAUTION!  Items in the picture are steeper than they appear

Tuesday Afternoon - The Moody Blues.....

Tuesday afternoon,

I'm just beginning to see, now I'm on my way

It doesn't matter to me, chasing the clouds away.

Something, calls to me,
The trees are drawing me near, I've got to find out why?
Those gentle voices I hear, explain it all with a sigh.

Banana & Orange pudding?

Our friend the fawn, who ran up to us on the road as his mom looked on in horror I'm sure.

Tsali Day 2

Day 2 started with overcast skies and drizzle, and Taylor forcing Andy to air up his tires.

The gratuitous "shiny, happy people" group shot

Jason employing a interesting technique to stay hydrated, essentially catching water with your tounge

In the end a great day.........

.....until Andy decided to disrobe in the parking lot.  Taylor's right there ready to catch what falls out, while using Jason's hydration technique

Finally back to the h'tub for a little relaxation. Note the secret handshake, and Taylor trying to stay hydrated.  Oh and check out Chandler practicing the victory salute!  He's going to be a roadie yet!
