Thoughts for the day

Didn't she sing back up for Carlos Santanarosannadanna?

And here I thought she was related to our president, Barack Obamarosannadanna......

Rick James wrote a song about her:
Shes a Bad mamma Jammarosannadanna

And Barry Manilow wrote Copa Cabanarosannadanna.

Rich, don't you live around Atlantarosannadanna?  (Or was it Savannahrosannadanna?)

Do people in gay bars still wear colored bandanarosannadannas?

Do you remember when we were all posting pics and saying "what would xxx do"?

lmao!

Sadness abounds.

Tomorrow morning the Virginia Department of Transportation will begin demolition on the "Old" Fieldale Bridge. This is not the "new' one, built in 1970, but the old iron suspension bridge built in 1931 to replace an earlier one that literally fell down.

It is narrow, and when you are waiting in traffic on it and a car inches past in the other direction the whole thing shakes. Still, it has been there all my life, adding character to the town. The "Silver Gate" my friend Georgia said last night when I told her about it, comparing it to San Francisco's Golden Gate. I cannot imagine the millions of times it has been crossed by hundreds of thousands of people. I have crossed it in a car, on foot, on the back of trucks. I can count 6 generations of my people who have used it. It is hard to let it go. So much in life to be sentimental about.

I think it's beautiful.  Even more so, for your words.  Sorry for your loss.

Aw, damn.  Hate to see the past dissolving, especially things like this beloved old bridge.  If people like me had their way, the world would be filled with crumbling structures, never mind their safety rating.

If you are looking for a good movie to watch over the long weekend, I would suggest The Priest

This 1994 drama features Linus Roache and the very handsome Robert Carlyle. It is very well written and acted and has a nice coming out subplot. The entire movie seems to be on youtube.

Here is the intro to my new favorite TV show: Trailer Park Boys. It is a Canadian TV series that has a John Paul Trenbley as one of its peeps, I wonder if he is related to Pierre?
