Doc,thunder, and music

Well I guess it was a typical trip to the doctors yesterday. Same typical questions and stuff. This guy is nice like my other doctor. He’s willing to wait to see if my Medicaid comes though. I finally got in touch with someone in Herkimer. Unfortunately the person who has my case is on vacation. So, I have to wait to talk with her. Oh well!!
That means I pretty much had a wasted day, but that’s cool. I got out of the house and was out in the sun before the rain and thunderstorms came through. It was a beautiful day, then thunder, and lightning. There was a lot of lightning, which was cool to watch. Even in the evening it was thunder booming and lot’s of lightning. Always love to watch the thunderstorms…
When we were kids, we’d be up visiting my grandparents outside of Dolgeville, we would sit on the porch evenings watching the thunderstorms all night. They seemed to converge from all directions above the farm. All most as much fun as watching fireworks….
Not to be a complainer, but… have you ever noticed that most idiots behind the wheel are in a hurry to go nowhere. Not once, twice I had people in such a hurry behind me, pass me on the right while I was pulling back into the right hand lane going down Genessee St. Only to pull back into the left lane, to make a left hand turn, right in front of me. They couldn’t FUCKING wait two extra seconds for me to move over. I had my signal on to move right but they were too god damn close to see the signal. But the good thing was that both had to wait at light’s to make their turn… Hahahaha!!!
Serves them right. Patience, patience. Enough of my ranting.
I had a quiet evening, except the thunder, at home last night. I watched this program on CMT about Southern Rock. Not that I watch a lot of CMT, but it turned out to be well worth the effort. It dealt with the Allmans, Marshall Tucker, Lynyrd Skynyrd and CDB. Also about Muscle Shoals, and the music that came out of Georgia and that area. Spent a lot of time on Duane Allman and his band and working with the guys at Muscle Shoals and others, like Eric Clapton and the Derek and the Dominoes album. All in all I recommend seeing it if you get the chance. They always show it several times. A must see if you were into the late sixties Hippie movement and the Southern Rock era. Gee’s I’m letting you know how old I am……. I remember all of that stuff. I used to stay up late to listen to the areas only album rock station. At the time it wasn’t a full time album rock station, only after 11:30 or 12 midnight. That was during the early seventies. Wow, that’s kind of old! Listen folk’s I remember Penny candy and 5 cent packs of gum. Candy bars were a dime. My dad had a fit when cigarettes went up to four or five dollars for a carton. Now I feel OLD………
But don’t feel bad, I’m still young at heart, so they say. I’m not in AARP yet. I still have a few years yet. Not to many though. Guess I’ve said enough, Keep your stick on the ice.
