Saw something on the news earlier today that really pissed me off. A private helicopter pilot was in NC trying to save stranded hurricane victims. He saved one lady & intended to go back to get her husband. Then some local assistant yahoo told the pilot he would be arrested if he went back. WTF? I was based at Ft Bragg, NC many years ago. I loved that state & the people. I was in deep. Not deep water, deep shit. OK, sometimes there was water involved too.
I've never been much of a drinker but I think there's a time & place for everything. The day my discharge papers arrived I drank an entire quart of schnapps in about 1/2 hour. Who knows what else after that? Don't recall much after that except I remember the next day the fireplace was full of broken glass. My friends who were there were, um, not sure there is a word for it. They said I was full on ballistic but yet calm & peaceful at the same time.
Years later I lived on the other side of those mountains in Tennessee. Had a friend who owned a huge ranch up there. He gave me run of the place & we definitely had some wild times & some good music. No doubt there are still some shiners in those parts. He told me if I ever encounter a ginseng patch on my long hikes in that wilderness to treat it as if I stumbled across a still. In other words, get the hell out of there right now.
I'm also a pilot so I'm fully aware of
https://www.mercyflight.org/ They donate their time & money to help people. That is their whole purpose. I think I would have told that assistant yahoo to pound sand. Dude thought he had power but he has no idea what true power is about. Or how to use it for good. I've been through enough hurricanes to know those people need all the help they can get right now. We used to have a song about AC130's that's definitely not suitable for permies & probably has never even been recorded. Has he ever seen that rain? Mind boggling for sure.
Most of my music posts have a theme. Sometimes obvious, sometimes not. Sometimes it's only a theme to me. Sometimes it's nunya. Thought this time it needed some explanation.
I think tonight shall be a drinking night. For medicinal purposes. I'm still highly po'd at a puny little bug.
