Green Day Rain

Rain moved in over night and I wussed out and decided to drive my van into work. I had a lunch date which I motored my power chair to as I passed the Delta center I noticed the Green Day bus was parked out front with a bunch of other over the road vehicles --today is the GREEN DAY concert. I had totally spaced it and I almost never space things like a Green Day concert. It’s not like I am going or anything, I would like to—perhaps more to the point I would like to take Dianne to Green Day. I think she would really get off on Green Day live. She really liked their Superman song. The only problem is I do not know if her physically condition would let her enjoy a concert with a lot or jostling and such. Still I though it cool seeing their touring buses and their roadies taking out their equipment and dragging the stuff in to the Delta Center. I wish I had had my digi with me would have made some great images.

There seems to be a lot of stuff happening in the city right now. I passed the Morocco last night going to the train station and there were about 8 of those tour buses—not the kind that belong to tour companies but the beautiful over the road vehicles, that you know, bands or stars are traveling with. I almost stopped and talked with one f the roadies who was downloading the bus but I was late for my train and still had to get to Jeanies before I headed South.

Barnum and Bailey—THE Greatest Show on Earth is supposed to pull into to town tonight or tomorrow. I think the circus is slated to start on Friday. It’s really cool—the circus comes in and sets up to play in the Delta Center. The city closes the street and a parking lot just South of the Delta Center and B&B stick all their animals on the street. Elephants and Zebras are back there along with some of the caged beasts like the lions. When I had my office in the front of this building I loved watching the animals all day when they were in town. What’s really cool is that they do the animal parade everyday from the tent area over to and into the Delta Center.

My daughter works for a phone company—or used to. She was laid off yesterday. I read her announcement on her blog this morning. She is handling the news extremely well. Like she says they will give her sixty more days of work plus a pretty nice “parachute. She is event as an opportunity you know” every exit is an entrance”. I must say I am impressed. Shelly has a pretty nice blog. I will give you all a link to her blog take a look.

Currently reading: The Da Vinci Code It’s a good read a bit simplistic but enjoyable. I may have to backtrack and read the first book Angels and Demons. I would rather be reading science fiction hut these are interesting enough and couple keep me occupied at least to Thanksgiving
