Night of the Nite-soothing-
Darkness-refreshes-Air
Seems different-Night has
No eyes nor no one-Silence-
except to the Night itself

Don’t tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass.

And We Have Come To This
How can we keep love alive,
How can anything survive,
When these little minds tear you in two?
What a town without pity can do.
No, it isn’t very pretty,
What a town without pity can do.
Gene Pitney ( song excerpt) ‘A Town without Pity’ 1961
Bowling with the Stars
Take The Skinheads Bowling
By Camper VanBeethoven
[lyric excerpt]
…..Take the skinheads bowling, take them bowling.
Take the skinheads bowling, take them bowling.
Some people say that bowling alleys have big lanes
Some people say that bowling alleys all look the same
There’s not a line that goes here that rhymes with same
Had a dream last night but I forgot what it was about
Had a dream last night about you my friend
Had a dream I wanted to sleep next to plastic
Had a dream I wanted to lick your knees
Had a dream it was about nothing.

I’ve recently taken on a contracting job doing repair on coolers for the Subway Chain in Washington and Oregon,USA. This is what I’ll use to get it done.
La luna
Wynken, Blynken, and Nod
Wynken, Blynken, and Nod one night
Sailed off in a wooden shoe–
Sailed on a river of crystal light,
Into a sea of dew.
“Where are you going, and what do you wish?”
The old moon asked of the three.
“We have come to fish for the herring fish
That live in this beautiful sea;
Nets of silver and gold have we!”
Said Wynken,
Blynken,
And Nod.
The old moon laughed and sang a song,
As they rocked in the wooden shoe,
And the wind that sped them all night long
Ruffled the waves of dew.
The little stars were the herring fish
That lived in that beautiful sea–
“Now cast your nets wherever you wish–
Never afeard are we!”
So cried the stars to the fishermen three:
Wynken,
Blynken,
And Nod.
Car of the People
Literally, the word “volkswagen” means “people’s car. The beginning concept originated with Ferdinand Porsche in 1930.
By 1933 Hitler had met with Porsche to describe his vision of a ‘peoples car’. A top speed of 62 mph ,33 miles to the gallon and the ability
to carry 5 passengers. At this point the ‘state’ stepped in and bankrolled the development of what would become the VW Beetle. The first demonstrators rolled out in 1939. The preproduction model was called the VW38 as it was manufactured in 1938 When the V38s were introduced, Hitler abruptly changed the name of the car to KdF Wagen. KdF stood for “Kraft durch Freude” which meant“Strength through Joy.” This upset Porsche, as he was not a member of the Nazi party, and he didn’t support Hitler’s use of propaganda when advertising the car.
