Mr. Rogers......... Wow.. Mr. Rogers theme song strapped to my neurons. Frightening concept isn't it ? Probably the vibrations of a 7.5 hour tour of duty on ol' John Deere....
Usually it's a song that's more "tractor-relevant" that I can't get out of my head.. For a large portion of the day another song traversed my smoldering brain .. It was...*thinks* "You're the reason God made Oklahoma".. There's this part where the guy (there's a guy's and a girl's part) sings "I worked ten hours on a John Deere tractor......jes thinkin' of youuuuuuuuuuu all dayyyyyyyy"
I think.... Holy-Cow...ten hours ? But then, that's probably cutting hay, raking it into windrows, or baling. Not really the same as what I've been up to these last few days. It's been earth-moving, and a clutch working, shift-a-thon that leaves the ol' knees calves and shin splints aching a bit. One does feel like they've actually accomplished a great deal though, after a day like that.
I'm a sun up to sun down sort of guy. Time doesn't really affect me that much. Not so much as the big orb crossing the sky. Which brings me to a thought that at the end of this week the evil Daylight Savings Time of Doom shall end. I shall shed naught a tear I swear. See ? I ne'er understood how that concept got going here. Seems that all the folks in Western Oz voted again' it three times when it was put to a vote before them. Then Poof ! the government thrusts it on them anyways saying, tryyyy it...you'll likeeeee it.. Blah ! Only heard complaints from folks who can't get their kids to sleep in the light, and such. For me though ? I simply refused to participate *grin* True.. I didn't change a clock one from the pocket watch to the wall hangin' one *shakes head* Now...it did make for some lively conversations amongst folks I knew when planning something I'd be involved in. And it's surprising how many folks have caught on to the slang words "real-time" and "fake-time". Meaning of course that daylight savings is ermmm... fake time *cough*. Does leave one a lot of wiggle room for showing up on time for stuff though *whistles innocently*
Anyways...It supposedly shall finish it's round here, never to be seen again... or will it ? *insert dramatic psycho music here*
In the states, it always heralded the end of warmer weather, the approach of fall/winter, and the perishing of all green-life. Here though ? This place is amazing. Land of two springs and no winter. Not exaggerating folks. Ne'er seen a frost here. The garden grows food for me year round. Summer's a bit more watering for it, but small exchange for the lack of frost. Everything considered....? I love this place W.A. Y'all should come and see it *nods* Does remind me of South Texas..... *thinks* But ermmmm...without so many guns *laugh*.
*Watches the sun go down as a cascade of colors unfold, and assorted parrots/birds sing the background music*
