Lovely day for a trip to the ER.
I got downtown early, afoot, had some breakfast, then sat absorbing sunlight on a Main St. bench.
After a time I moved to the ASIP. Coffee/tea spot, sat in the sun-filled front window of the old Starbucks watching foot traffic and reading.
After another time, the world started spinning, vortexing to the right. I clung to the tabletop, sitting on a high stool.
I had the barista help me to a lower seat and called 911.
Nauseated, hurling into a wastebasket, the medics came and hauled me out to Mercy Med Center. This was elevenish. Didn't get to finish my $4 cold brew.
Nothing was found to be immediately wrong, but a number of unrelated things to talk with the doc about come Monday.
I left the ER and got a taxi about 9 pm. I'm feeling okay.
So, say no more, say no more. "Drive on."
I'm happy to see the pix caught your attention, boys.
Dingus, where oh where?
Bedtime.

Hey mouse. Take care. Maybe, good job on finding a barista to lay you down easy, but you should you be doing that? Glad you're seeking a doc`s blessings at least. Seriously, I've been kind of passing that way about one a week. If you need a ride to an appointment, or the bay area, please introduce me to a nice barista. Cheers.

Psilocyborg, I just had a listen to your contribution from yesterday.
What a gas.

After the Fall
I just had a really bad fall
And this time it was harder to get up than before
I shouted to the heavens and a vision appeared
I cried out "Can you help?", it replied "Not at all"
After the fall is over
You'll be on your own
After the fall is over
There'll be wrecks to clear in this war zone
There'll be much to clean and time to atone
But while it's dark you can shelter here
In the bleak midwinter when you're feeling the fear
Ah, but when the mist clears, the sun will shine again
A life's gotta have direction
After the deals are done
You gotta ask the question
Ask yourself why you go through it all
When morality kicks in, who will catch you when you fall
I'm a sinner waiting at the traveler's rest
Seeking refuge from the storm, and I'm a grateful guest
And a profit cries out in high platitudes
I smile and say, "Hey, I was just passing through"
And an angel cries, "Wait, we'll tell you when to move"
Even at the gates of Heaven I'll be waiting in a queue
Seems like I'm falling upwards
Into the great white blue
And all my imperfections
You can learn your lines and fabricate a show
But the way we come in, yeah, that's the way we're gonna go
We cheat and lie to conquer our fears
We can put on a smile just to cover up the tears
Ah, but when the mist clears, the sun will shine again
After the fall (after the fall is over)
There'll be a better day
After the fall is over
So I fell on my arse, now I'm feeling the pain
But the feeling will pass and so will the shame
The bigger the ego, the bigger the fall
When your reputation counts for nothing at all
Ah, but when the mist clears, the sun will shine again
I will greet you when the sun shines again
After the fall (after the fall is over)
There'll be a better day
After the fall is over

Holy smokes mouse, hope all is well.
And thank you for faithfully watching my videos. This music moves me like no other.
If we could see these many waves
That flow through clouds and sunken caves
She'd sense at least the words that sought her
On the wind and underwater

It took a long time for that film to get released
My ex#1 liked Janis' performances so much I bought her a copy
Did I mention she (excee) hung out with Hendrix (and especially Mitch) at Monterey
We were after all so much younger then
Cane and able and willin'

Been mirandized? Sure at least twice (that I remember)
But I do draw that line at getting my head stove in

^You've become quite accomplished with that camera you were discussing back when we so much younger.
Impressive each and everyone.

Anyway, when the morning light comes streaming in
Did I mention standing with Graham at the Joni, Bob & Van show?

zBrown, if you a shared a girlfriend with Mitch Mitchell, you must have something going on, or just lucky. No disrespect meant to any party.
Trains... modern classic, probably goes without saying. Maybe the girls are timeless, at best. I'll just keep getting better in my own mind, over time, over here.
80's art house noir may date it, but Tom has got to Tom. The beat goes on..
