For those who don't know this is a horrible commute on highway 101 that literally thousands of people do everyday. The options for public transportation are minimal at best and the road is virtually bumper to bumper from San Francisco to Santa Rosa (a distance of 54 miles) during the major commute hours. All us crowded together out there in our individual atmosphere killing cars, as if we were competing against each other for some fabulous prize, rather than realizing that we all generally want the same thing and could work together to make it better, made me feel a lot of despair for humanity.........into the vortex... On a somewhat lighter note: when I was in grade school, we had a music teacher named Sister Beatrice. She was well over 80 years old and stood about five feet and a couple of inches tall and was very thin. Besides teaching music to us, she worked with inmates at the county jail. She was tough as nails and was known to the inmates as "Two Gun Bea". When I hear Transit, I picture Sister Beatrice changing a flat in the Novato Narrows. Tom Waits: get Rain Dogs or Mule Variations or any other one as well! He lives here in Sebastopol and I see him around from time to time, how much cooler can that be?

This album was my introduction to Tom Waits, and certainly well worth getting. I only left if off my previous post because there are too many albums to mention. :-} 'later, jeff. - -- i will make the lay of long defeat and draw the chorus slow i'll send this message down the wire and hope that someone wise is listening when i go --Dave Carter - -- (an index of free radical activity) http://www.onefreeradical.com/Journal/ ------------------------------ End of shindell-list-digest V2 #183 ***********************************
