So I left Colorado on Friday morning – a beautiful day. The traffic was still rather light, but had picked up a little each day. It was a nice day for a drive. A damn long drive, but there you are. The weather warmed up, the air was clear, and the clouds were seemingly drifting through space and time.
Radio reception cut out on the drive through New Mexico. I listened to the latest mix Conner sent me of the songs for the LA Session cd to be released later this year on Refrigerator Records. The songs sounded so good I was tempted to release it earlier, but everything in its own time. It is good traveling music.
The timing worked out perfect. Radio reception kicked back in when I finished listening to the mixes. A couple of hours later I was past Amarillo. Weather warnings began to interrupt the radio show. Rain, ping pong ball size hail, and sixty mile an hour winds were attacking the panhandle behind me. I was appreciating the fact that I had dodged that particular bullet.
I appreciated that fact all the way to Hwy 380. The wind had picked up considerably by that time. Then I hit a little light rain. No big deal. I called Cameron to see if he was at his apartment in Denton. I was going to stop off, say hi, and use the bathroom. But soon after we hung up, the bottom dropped out. God’s way of telling me he didn’t appreciate my over confidence.
On 35, visibility was reduced to having to turn on the flashers to warn those behind us. I worried about those whose common sense seemed lacking. I had to go around two accidents, the first of which I was almost in. But I arrived home with no incident in which I was involved.
I’ve been wearing a mask and social distancing the whole time. On one level of my conscience I’m getting used to it. On another level, I’m kinda tired of the whole damn thing. I would like to have a beer at the bar and then finish my show when the break is over.
In my dream last night, the trip – as well as events of the past few months – invaded that same conscience. There is a lot of jumbled parts that made an impression, but I don’t remember what happened. However, one scene struck me vividly.
I was at a gathering of some sort. It was obviously pre(or post)- Covid 19. While the groups were away from each other, it was closer than six feet. I was walking through the crowd, saying hello to what seemed like everyone. I wasn’t shaking hands, but I was patting everyone on the shoulder. I got halfway through the crowd when I became horrified at what I was doing. Yet I couldn’t stop. Then I suddenly woke up with a shake.
I’d rather not have that dream again, if it’s all the same.
Other colors available include red, green, purple, and rainbow.
I know, I know – with all the choices already available, what has not been done that could make a new mattress topper and pillow stand out? I’m here to explain that to you.
Both the mattress topper and pillow will be tie-dyed with your favorite color. As with other such products, both will conform to your body. The Tie-Dye mattress topper and pillow both have a heating and cooling system (patent pending). The control allows you to set the temperature. Depending on the headache and your body system, you can have the pillow on warm for your headache and cool for the rest of your body – or vice versa for body aches.
But wait, there’s more! The pillow has a music player pre-programmed for different moods. If you’re having trouble sleeping, it can softly play the drum solo from In a Gadda da Vida over and over. It can also play My Love Does It Good over and over, but be careful when you choose this option. If you choose it when you have a headache, it could increase the pain. Other songs for sleep available include songs by Dan Fogelberg and the Moody Blues.
You can also pick the song from the options for you to wake up to. Born to be Wild, Mississippi Queen, We Will Rock You, and the theme song for Shaft are among the available options. With an upgrade you can add your own tunes.
For an additional fee, you can get our proprietary patent pending feature known as the Wave. It slowly moves from side to side gently recalling the not so gentle waves of a waterbed. With a small upgrade, we include a color co-ordinated lava lamp whose movement will match the movement of the Wave.
Get the mattress topper and pillow that will take you back to the days of air hockey, foosball, head shops, and 8 ball pool. Watch reruns of the Mod Squad and bam! You find yourself agreeing with someone, raising up your fist and saying, “solid!”
