SUNDAY MORNING HELLO


This was taken as the sun was setting Saturday evening. I drive past this ten or more times in a day. But I remember to stop and look at it and appreciate it.






This is our old fire hall. Okay, it does sort of look run down. When they began the new fire hall, they let it go. It will sit for years empty and falling into ruin. That's what we do here. I do not get that.






This is the new fire hall. Our firemen are all volunteers. We do employ a licensed EMT. We have lots of wrecks on our freeway.









The weekend was nice enough. It began Friday with a visit from Bear and Mikey. We walked the length of town and back. Its a 7 mile long walk going up and down long, subtle hills.



I don't like to walk with other people generally. They don't walk at my pace, and frankly, I am not there to chat. I am walking for the aerobic benefits. Bear stepped right up and kept a good pace, even pushing the stroller. We stopped mid-way at the other end of town at the park so that Mikey could swing and play. I did too.


This is the Rock & Gem Show. It was in the park too. Lots of people with dogs were there. Mikey stepped in poo twice. I wish that people would scoop their dog's poo! Most folk are good about it. But there's always that one guy, you know?




I fished here today. No fish hooked, but I do not mind. It's the peaceful feeling that the water gives me and quiet time when no one is demanding anything from me that I seek.


It's also only about a city block from my house. There is another fishing hole that is closer, but this one is special. Magical somehow.





Well, I thought it would be nice to have a calm song like Velvet Underground's "Sunday Morning" for you... on this Sunday morning. The song... is old, old, old (1967) and very sweet. Go down to click on it.



Even though you immediately think of Lou Reed when you hear "Velvet Underground", he does not sing this song. Instead Lou and John Cale wrote this song for Nico 's voice... and wrote it on an actual Sunday morning. Note: I do not recall this from that period of time. I found it later when I discovered Lou Reed and traced him backwards.


Nico was a fashion model and friend of Andy Warhol. She also had a part in Fellini's La Dolce Vita.

I hope your Sunday is as sweet. :)
