Ever since I saw Jennifer Nettles sing with James Taylor at the Lincoln Memorial the weekend of the Inauguration....I have been listening to her...and yes, Sugarland....Jennifer Nettles ( Sugarland) " Life in a Northern Town"....This song for some reason reminds me of the Puget Sound and the Northwest...I am not sure why....really cheery song, and linked to the title is her with Bon Jovi....really uplifting....
Another version of the Song....about Obama, and the road to the Whitehouse....

Bob Cesca had the best quote up today.......
"It is my personal experience that my decision to remain in the profession I love has come at a great financial cost to me and to my family. My pay has been cut 40 percent. My pension, like most airline pensions, has been terminated and replaced by a PBGC guarantee worth only pennies to the dollar." —Captain Chesley Sullenberger to the House Aviation Subcommittee
I missed something. The book?

Quote of the Eve::
"I don't even know the congressional leadership," Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. told the paper's editors and reporters. "I have not met them. I don't listen or read whatever it is they say because it is inconsequential -- completely." Huntsman added that he would not reject any money from President Obama's stimulus. While he criticized what he saw as misdirected spending in bill, he said Republicans had no credibility on fiscal responsibility.
"Our moral soapbox was completely taken away from us because of our behavior in the last few years," he said. "For us to now criticize analogous behavior is hypocrisy. We've got to come at it a different way. We've got to prove the point. It can't be as the Chinese would say, 'fei hua,' [or] empty words."
Huntsman recently made waves when a spokeman announced that the governor supported civil unions for gay couples. Utah has a constitutional ban on gay marriage and domestic unions.

just emailed you friend...yup....my book...
The Song is by Nick Drake, about wishing for better times, and return of a certain feeling and not saying goodbye to that time.....
A Salvation Army band played
And the children drank lemonade
And the morning lasted all day,
All day
And through an open window came
Like Sinatra in a younger day,
Pushing the town away
Ah -
(Chant)
Ah hey ma ma ma
Life in a northern town.
They sat on the stoney ground
And he took a cigarette out
And everyone else came down
To listen.
He said "In winter 1963
It felt like the world would freeze
With John F. Kennedy
And the Beatles."
(Chant)
Ah hey ma ma ma
Life in a northern town.
Ah hey ma ma ma
All the work shut down.
The evening had turned to rain
Watch the water roll down the drain,
As we followed him down
To the station
And though he never would wave goodbye,
You could see it written in his eyes
As the train rolled out of sight
Bye-bye.
