Three Beautiful Things 02/02/08: Stormy, Whiskey and Cigarettes, Space Truckin'

1. I needed to get out in the driving rain and near the swollen rivers with Snug and drive the road from Eugene to Florence and then have a two hour mind clearing video slot casino session. I did it. It was my second visit to the new sparkling, ringing, buzzing, chiming, flashing Three Rivers Casino in Florence and I enjoyed myself a lot and was very happy to have held myself to a two hour playing limit.



2. Grey Like Sunday made me think that a Jack on the rocks and a Camel straight some day would, indeed, be a fun way to have an hour in the way back machine. It would be fun to find a way to ride that machine together on a Bonners Ferry tavern porch overlooking the Kootenai River.



3. Every Saturday, 11 EST, 9 MST, and 8 here in the west, XM Radio's Deep Tracks Channel 40 plays "Inna Gadda Da Vida" and for the fourth or fifth straight week, I made sure I was comfortably reclined near the radio so I could jump in my psychadelic Iron Butterfly Space Shuttle and rocket into the far reaches of inner space and time.
