Survived the weather but many didn't
The tornadic storms passed south and then east/northeast of the Memphis
area, hitting the folks in Nashville and beyond last night. 11 confirmed dead. I hate to say it, but 'tis the tornado season, for the midwest and midsouthern U.S. As that old song says, "That's just the way it is... some things will never change*" Persia, smart gal, hid in the closet but she knew when it was okay to come out and comfort me, too. She comforted me muchly. And Peaches was chirping as the wind chimes rang and the birds were still chirping in the trees, so she was telling me "they haven't left, so it's okay." She's right; listen to nature. Aminals and even insects go into hiding when bad weather is coming. Just look at when the tsunami hit Asia and the elephants and monkeys headed for high ground. Jill *That song had to do with prejudice. If you've never heard it, you should look it up. Bruce Hornsby. Absolutely beautiful piano piece and vocals and a message. But tornados, earthquakes, hurricanes, they think the same way. They don't see a colour bar. The Way It Is B. R. Hornsby Standing in line marking time-- Waiting for the welfare dime 'Cause they can't buy a job The man in the silk suit hurries by As he catches the poor old ladies' eyes Just for fun he says, "Get a job" That's just the way it is Some things will never change That's just the way it is But don't you believe them They say hey little boy you can't go Where the others go 'Cause you don't look like they do Said hey old man how can you stand To think that way Did you really think about it Before you made the rules He said, Son That's just the way it is Some things will never change That's just the way it is But don't you believe them Well they passed a law in '64 To give those who ain't got a little more But it only goes so far Because the law another's mind When all it sees at the hiring time Is the line on the color bar That's just the way it is Some things will never change That's just the way it is But don't you believe them |
