America - A Horse With No Name+Lyrics



On the first part of the journey,
I was looking at all the life.
There were plants and birds. and rocks and things,
There was sand and hills and rings.
The first thing I met, was a fly with a buzz,
And the sky, with no clouds.
The heat was hot, and the ground was dry,
But the air was full of sound.

I've been through the desert on a horse with no name,
It felt good to be out of the rain.
In the desert you can remember your name,
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain.
La, la, la la la la, la la la, la, la
La, la, la la la la, la la la, la, la

After two days, in the desert sun,
My skin began to turn red.
After three days, in the desert fun,
I was looking at a river bed.
And the story it told, of a river that flowed,
Made me sad to think it was dead.

You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name,
It felt good to be out of the rain.
In the desert you can remember your name,
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain.
La la, la, la la la la, la la la, la, la
La la, la, la la la la, la la la, la, la

After nine days, I let the horse run free,
'Cause the desert had turned to sea.
There were plants and birds, and rocks and things,
There was sand and hills and rings.
The ocean is a desert, with it's life underground,
And a perfect disguise above.
Under the cities lies, a heart made of ground,
But the humans will give no love.

You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name,
It felt good to be out of the rain.
In the desert you can remember your name,
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain.

La la, la, la la la la, la la la, la, la
La la, la, la la la la, la la la, la, la
La la, la, la la la la, la la la, la, la
La la, la, la la la la, la la la, la, la
La, la, la la la la, la la la, la, la
La la, la, la la la la, la la la, la, la
La, la, la la la la, la la la, la, la
La la, la, la la la la, la la la, la, la

Counting Crows - Big yellow taxi

they paved paradise
and put up a parking lot
with a pink hotel, a boutique
and a swinging hot spot

don't it always seem to go
that you don't know what youve got til its gone
they paved paradise
and put up a parking lot

they took all the trees
and put 'em in a tree museum
and they charged the people
a dollar and a half to seem 'em

don't it always seem to go,
that you don't know what youve got
til its gone
they paved paradise
and put up a parking lot

hey farmer farmer
put away the DDT
i dont care about spots on my apples
leave me the birds and the bees
please!

don't it always seem to go
that you don't know what youve got
til its gone
they paved paradise
and put up a parking lot
hey, now they paved paradise
to put up a parking lot
why not?

listenin' late last night
i heard the screen door slam
and a big yellow taxi
took my girl away
now, don't it always seem to go
that you don't know what you've got
til its gone
they paved paradise
and put up a parking lot

hey now, now
Don't it always seem to go
that you don't know what you got
til its gone
they paved paradise
to put up a parking lot

i dont want give it-
why you want give,
why you want give it all away?
hey hey hey
now you want give it,
ah she wanna give it
cause she givin it all away
now now now

Hey pave paradise
put up a parking lot

Aloha kakahiaka Doc!

Seeing that pic of Gen. Tyron reminds me of my first encunter with a Marine General. It was at the Naval Post Graduate School in Monterey while awaiting my class to start at DLI. We were not required to salute any officers in passing since the enlisted were out numbered 1500 to 80 and we'd all be worn to a frazzle before 0800 if we did; the exception was flag rank officers.

So heading the exchange one morning, I spotted a Marine Officer heading my way, in green A's with black insignia and got within two paces of him before noticing three stars on his blouse......and snapped a salute and a cheery Good Morning. He stopped me and asked what took so long, you're required to salute from three paces?

I said I've never seen a Marine General Before, Sir. .......He said "Good Morning, now get the hell out of here!"

I saw them twice in the late 1970’s. Awesome concert. Neil “the octopus” Peart is unbelievable. Hard to see how anyone can hit so much stuff so fast.

Top o' the mornin', Biglook!

That's a Marine for you! I don't think I have anything to compare. Possibly the time I fixed a ticket for an Admiral. I was sitting at my desk in the security office at NNMC Bethesda late one night reading a magazine. (I was on Chief of the Day Watch) All I saw as I was looking down was a blue sleeve wrapped in gold. I snapped to attention and took the ticket he gave me. "Good evening, Admiral. I'll take care of it!" A smile from the Admiral and that was the end of it. The Security Officer came in next morning and grumbled a little. Like he'd have the stones not to do as I had.

Good afternoon, Mac...*HUGSW*...red shirt on. Always!

Thank goodness Friday finally got here....been swamped today so far.

My IT guy came over last evening and put my new graphics card in my desktop....it lives!!

And we think he found, and fixed, the gremlins in my laptop keyboard. Settings for the touch pad were automatically set to super sensitive (after having to reformat the hard drive a month ago). As I typed, my hands touched the pad and it reacted to whatever the settings were. He found where to “unable” all the auto settings. I’ll give it another try tonight and see if that was the only problem.

Frick’n frack’n touchpads!
We disabledbypassed ours by adding a mouse.
That gives us a whole lot more control...not that we’re old-fashioned, or anything like that, y’know.

No end to computer problems, is there? I just started getting redirects on searches again. No idea why. Guess I'll be on the horn with Dell this weekend.
