Mixed Tape Circa 1996

Opened the bench that sits in my hallway, totally forgot it had a drawer into. Achoo! After the dust settles, I find my old Walkman in there with a mixed tape from Jay circa 1996. A few minutes later after finding batteries for it and I'm listening away. I have quite a few on CD or iTunes but think it would be fun to find the rest. Here's what is on it: Single gun theory - transmission john Lennon - look at me Joe Henry - trampoline Vanessa Daou - long tunnel of wanting you Pete Townsend - popular Mike watt - Chinese fire drill (with frank black) john Lennon - real love Cowboy junkies - something more besides you everything but the girl - we walk the same line Leonard Cohen - The future Lou Reed - sweet jane (extended concert verison) The beatles - i want you cibo matto - beef jerky Unknown - Welcome to your nightly (a ton of horns and reggae style rapping in some parts) If you know what the last song might be - please let me know

The World Outside My Window

Just got back from a meeting (what - a meeting how unlike me) and noticed a mud hen in the creek/marsh building a new nest. Because of the rain today, I think their existing nest might have been washed out. However for a new nest, he/she picked a location smack dab in the middle of the creek to build. It's interested to watch, he/she moved the babies to the location first and now has spent the last hour swimming around, grabbing one reed at time and swimming back to put it on the nest. I say "he/she" because last time I watched one of them build a nest, it was pre-birth and the mom was sitting on the nest and the dad was bringing reeds over. This time there is just one of them and my binoculars aren't that powerful. Of course looking for a photo of them lead me to the toledo mud hens and then I got started thinking about Klinger on M*A*S*H . I love just surfing and seeing where the web takes me, or my mind for that matter.

Paid Robert and Jared 5 cents a CD and they burned all of my CD's to iTunes. I could turn it on now and it would play for close to 18 days without repeating a songs.
