Okay, so the rain only paused in Seattle. And then restarted today, only for me to find that my sunroof is leaking. Water is dripping right through the control console for it, which contains, oh, I don't know, at least four switches and god knows what other electrical components. Reminds me that when we bought it, I was thinking sunroof=extra weight at top of car, maintenance issues, road noise--bah! It's a sunroof! It'll be cool!
I think my B5 was built on a Friday, and the Turks were in a hurry to get to Jum'ah. That, or the former East Germans doing all the weather seals were in a hurry to go stand in a line.
They don't have to do it anymore. It just comforts them.

When I'm dressed in white, send roses to me
The rains stop for hours, and the sun comes out for minutes.
The Schizoid Trio breaks into the green room. They sway, slide and thump, moan and mouth-breathe, teeth bared, arms spread.
The Salsa Lady pauses on the sidewalk, presses play. Clamshell liberation draws her out through her ears. She poses, vertical jazz hands. Nods and steps. Arms work, feet accelerate. She spins, sings out with the beat, dat da-dat-dat-daa! Ever gaining momentum, spiral and slide down Third.
The rain has stopped in Seattle.

Welcome to Red's Recovery Room
So don't be an asshole. Go to Amazon for a minute, just to listen to a few soundbites off the Clodhopper album, Red's Recovery Room. Here. I'll even give you a link: Bam.
God damn it. You can buy this thing for $3.98.
If you don't want to pick through at random, then at least check the clips for Dinah, Walking Tune, Cafe Joli and Red's Recovery Room. That's just a tickle of the sound in this album, which is fucking amazing. I've had this thing for years, and it never ceases to stupify me.
Cafe Joli is, as I and at least a few others have said before, probably the best damned song ever written and recorded. You can feel this song 'just walkin' down the street' wherever you are. If it doesn't put a smile on your face, then bring down the colors and surrender right now, because you're already dead.
