The view of the Missouri River from my room, looking west:
"The Road Goes On Forever" out here in South Dakota:
Cottonwood DOES NOT HAVE A POST OFFICE.
Quinn, however, DOES HAVE A POST OFFICE - 57775 - Quinn, SD:
The obligatory drive-by (no parking here) in Wall, South Dakota:
It is hot out here in The Great Plains (but that's why we have books-on-cd):
I entered Wyoming at 4:37
Pretty view driving down the road:
Checked into Super 8, Casper, WY at 8 PM - 530 miles today (and 28 Post Offices):
This is what they looked like:
Thank you God AGAIN for another wonderful Adventure Day!
Music for today:
in hotel room - Bill Evans - The Complete Live at the Village Vanguard 1961 (3 cds), recorded 1961, released 2005 live album - perfect for the early-morning hours:
DRIVING - The Fabulous Thunderbirds - Tuff Enuff, 1986 album, last heard (in a blog) 8/22/2017 - excellent blues-based rock from this Texas band:
Since I wanted to HEAR MORE of that stuff - The Allstars from Charlottesville, VA - Tip Your Waitress, 1978 album, last heard (in a blog) 9/21/2019 - these guys were HOT when I was down at Business School Sept 1977 - May 1979:
Thievery Corporation - Versions, 2006 album, last heard (in a blog) 8/23/2017 - a little techno, a little trance, a little Beach House music:
various - WM_ChildrenOfWinter, 2008 DCD-constructed soundtrack album, last heard (in a blog) 9/20/2016 - since it is not available as a cd, I built this album myself:
This is what I wrote back in 2016:
A few years ago, Wendy and I were watching a Warren Miller ski movie, and I LOVED THE MUSIC - high energy, with some Jack Johnson thrown in once in a while. So I made my own "Warren Miller movie soundtracks":
WM_ChildrenOfWinter, 2008 has 32 songs
WM_ColdFusion, 2002 has 21 songs
WM_HigherGround, 2005 has 18 songs
WM_Impact, 2004 has 22 songs
WM_Journey, 2003 has 18 songs
WM_Off The Grid, 2006 has 14 songs
WM_Playground, 2007 has 39 songs
WM_Storm, 2002 has 9 songs
Although these are the PERFECT songs to have when driving up a mountain to go hiking in the snow, it is a little too intense for my "regular driving".
various - WOW Worship: Yellow, 2003 compliation album, last heard (in a blog) 9/23/2016 - nice collection of Worship songs
various - 25 Beach Music Classics, 2003 compilation album, last heard (in a blog) 5/16/2017 - I won't list them, but 25 songs of GREAT Carolina-Beach-Music, on a single cd. Just Keep Them Dancing!
Brian Herbert & Kevin J. Anderson - Navigators of Dune, cds 5 + 6, 2016 audiobook:
Frank Turner - England Keep My Bones, 2011 album, last heard (in a blog) 5/29/2017 - "I Still Believe" gets him into the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame - just sayin':
And I still believe (I still believe) in the need
For guitars and drums and desperate poetry
And I still believe (I still believe) that everyone
Can find a song for every time they've lost
And every time they've won
So just remember, folks, we're not just saving lives, we're saving souls
And we're having fun
And I still believe
Now who'd have thought that after all
Something as simple as rock 'n' roll would save us all
Now who'd have thought that after all
Something so simple, something so small
Who'd have thought that after all, it's rock 'n' roll
