  1. Man…these are both great!

    Regarding the verse—-My college friends were out in Georgetown on the night where you move the clocks up an hour to Spring Ahead……my friends asked a police man, an older black man, why the bars were closing early……his response was provided in a thick, slow drawl…….”Time go forward”

    To me—the story never made much sense…cuz…..aren’t bars open until 2am…..and doesn’t the time change not really happen until 2am? But anyhow—–the whole “Time go forward” thing stuck….so whenever I’m with those TSU friends and someone makes a comment like—-“Man, it’s getting late”……. we all pause and then say slowly, in unison, “Time go forward”…….

    My friends tell me, the response they gave the policeman was—–“Yes, yes sir, it certainly does.”

  2. i’m glad clouds were hiding for our return voyage to the dump road. better to see undistracted every centimeter of plant. and you caught the purist gold light in that first one, on the lip. the second is a perfect tribute to the royal family of yucca we unwillingly left behind while on our required quest. you did find the holy grail again.
