*Ed. Note...you probably think this picture is from one of my great stops around the world but no...it was actually taken from my balcony! Pretty amazing, huh?*
"From now on I'm just calling everything Awesome. Anything that's classified as a noun I'm turning into just plain Awesome. There are no more trees. Only Awesomes. There is no more man and wife. The saying now goes, I pronounce you Awesome and Awesome. Ice cream. What is that? I'll have two scoops of Awesome with Awesome on top please. Would you like to take a ride in my new Awesome? May I see your Awesome? May I pet your Awesome? That'd be Awesome. You're Awesome.
Sunrise and Sunset are the best hours of light for your body and mind because it is light you can actually ingest by looking at it, into it and it into you, absorbing its remarkable resources thru your pupils. Other times of day the light will just burn your eyeballs out. Awesome."

The tears will help to keep your need at bay
You're here just a while you might as well smile, you might as well smile, 'cause tomorrow, you just don't know. It will pass. It's gonna pass."
Bright Eyes - Song Easy/Lucky/Free
"Did it all get real? I guess it's real enough.
They got refridgerators full of blood, another century spent pointing guns at anything that moves.
Sometimes I worry thatIi've lost the plot like my twitchin' muscles tease my flippin' thoughts.
I never really dreamed of heaven much until we put him in the ground, but it's all I'm doing now, listening for patterns in the sound of an endless static sea.
But once the satellite's deceased, it blows like garbage through the streets of the nightsky to infinity.
But don't you weep.
(Don't you weep for them.)
Don't you weep.
(Don't you weep.)
There is nothing as lucky... honey, don't you weep.
(Don't you weep for them.)
Don't you weep.
(Don't you weep.)
There is nothing as lucky...as easy...or free.
Don't be a criminal in this police state. You'd better shop and eat and pro-create. You've got vacation days, and you might escape to a condo on the coast. I set my watch to the atomic clock. I hear the crowd count down till the bomb gets dropped. I always figured there'd be time enough I never let it get me down, but I can't help it now looking for faces in the clouds. I've got some friends I barely see, but we're all planning to meet...we'll lay in bags as dead as leaves all together for eternity.
But don't you weep.
(Don't you weep for us.)
Don't you weep.
(Don't you weep.)
There is no one as lucky... Honey, don't you weep.
(Don't you weep for us.)
Don't you weep.
(Don't you weep.)
There is nothing as lucky...as easy...or free."
written by Kenny Ascher and Paul Williams - Song Rainbow Connection
"Kermit: Why are there so many songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
And rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it
I know they're wrong, wait and see.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers and me.
Who said that every wish would be heard and answered
When wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that, and someone believed it,
And look what it's done so far.
What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing
And what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers, and me.
All of us under its spell,
We know that it's probably magic...
... Have you been half asleep? And have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name.
... Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors?
The voice might be one and the same
I've heard it too many times to ignore it
It's something that I'm s'posed to be...
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers, and me.Laa, da daa dee da daa daa,
La laa la la laa dee daa doo..."
I love this place(Salt Lake in case some of you didn't figure that out)!!!!
