    If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break
    When the levee breaks I'll have no place to stay
    Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan
    Lord mean old levee taught me to weep and moan
    It's got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home

    I have yet to see 1 Humming Bird this season.  

     

     


    We have a large flowering shrub, a weigela.  Over the years I have noticed that the hummingbirds like it.  In June this year when it was in full flower I saw a few hummingbirds come to it.  I put out a hummingbird feeder near it, and it got some use.  Now the flowers are gone, and I haven’t seen a hummingbird in a few days.  

  3. Saw my picture in the paper
    Read the news around my face
    And now some people
    Don't want to treat me the same

    When the walls
    Come tumblin' down
    When the walls
    Come crumblin', crumblin'
    When the walls
    Come tumblin', tumblin'
    Down

  4. Well you can tell everyone I'm a down disgrace 
    Drag my name all over the place 
    I don't care anymore
    You can tell everybody 'bout the state I'm in 
    You won't catch me crying 'cause I just can't win
    I don't care anymore, I don't care anymore

  5. As I was walking down the street one day
    A man came up to me and asked me what the time was that was on my watch, yeah
    And I said

    Does anybody really know what time it is (I don't)
    Does anybody really care (care about time)
    If so I can't imagine why (no, no)
    We've all got time enough to cry

    Students in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, who have been diagnosed with COVID-19 have been attending parties in the city and surrounding area as part of a disturbing contest to see who can catch the virus first, a city council member told ABC News on Wednesday.

     

    Tuscaloosa City Councilor Sonya McKinstry said students have been organizing "COVID parties" as a game to intentionally infect each other with the contagion that has killed more than 127,000 people in the United States. She said she recently learned of the behavior and informed the city council of the parties occurring in the city.

     

    She said the organizers of the parties are purposely inviting guests who have COVID-19.

     

    "They put money in a pot and they try to get COVID. Whoever gets COVID first gets the pot. It makes no sense," McKinstry said. "They're intentionally doing it."

    Image may contain: bicycle


    my best friend in elementary school had a green one “pea picker”

    I had the regular, stripped down Sting Ray.  I loved that bike. I rode it to the mall (Bel-aire Plaza in Daytona Beach).  I went into a drug store to buy candy, and when I came out it was gone.

  8. Lord Almighty,
    I feel my temperature rising
    Higher higher
    It's burning through to my soul

     

    Girl, girl, girl
    You gonna set me on fire
    My brain is flaming
    I don't know which way to go

     

    Your kisses lift me higher
    Like the sweet song of a choir
    You light my morning sky
    With burning love

  9. Ev'ry face that I see is all wrapped up in frowns,
    And unfortunately, it kind of gets me down.
    Laugh,
    'Cause the music is funny
    Yeah, the bass sounds off-beat.
    Ain't that neat.
    Laugh,
    When you lose all your money,
    Or you can't find your shoes
    To cover your feet.

  10. The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
    Are also on the faces of people going by
    I've seen friends shaking hands
    Sayin' How do you do?
    They're really sayin' "I love you"
    I hear babies cryin'
    I watch them grow
    They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
    And I think to myself
    What a wonderful world

  11. The wind blew some luck in my direction

    I caught it in my hands today

    I finally made a tricky French connection

    You winked and gave me your O.K.

    I'll take you on a trip beside the ocean

    And drop the top at Chesapeake Bay

    Ain't nothing like the sky to dose a potion

    The moon'll send you on your way

     

    Moonlight feels right Moonlight feels right

  12. Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle
    Underneath the western skies
    On my cayuse, let me wander over yonder
    Till I see the mountains rise
    I want to ride to the ridge where the West commences
    And gaze at the moon till I lose my senses
    And I can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences
    Don't fence me in

  13. Hmmm...  a variation on a theme

     

    The Metamorphosis (German: Die Verwandlung) is a novella written by Franz Kafkawhich was first published in 1915. One of Kafka's best-known works, The Metamorphosis tells the story of salesman Gregor Samsa who wakes one morning to find himself inexplicably transformed into a huge insect (German ungeheures Ungeziefer, literally "monstrous vermin"), subsequently struggling to adjust to this new condition. The novella has been widely discussed among literary critics, with differing interpretations being offered.

  14. Haven't I been good to you
    What about that brand new ring
    Doesn't that mean love to you
    Doesn't that mean anything
    If I threw away my pride
    And I got down on my knees
    Would I have to beg you, "pretty please"
  15. We could never see tomorrow
    But no one said a word about the sorrow
    How can you mend a broken heart?
    How can you stop the rain from falling down
     
    How can you stop the sun from shining
    What makes the world go round

     

    And how can you mend this broken man?
    How can a loser ever win?
    Please help me mend my broken heart
    And let me live again
