What's Ordinary?
While listening to 'old' music (Is it really that old, really?) the other day, I had one of those epiphanies when one realizes that the lyrics to a good song can mean something different depending upon where the listener is in their life. The song is 'Ordinary World' by Duran Duran. I was definitely a Duranie when I was young; I still am. This is one of three songs that Simon Le Bon, the lead singer of Duran Duran, wrote about the loss of his best friend. I never realized that, until I suddenly heard it with a different frame of mind. I was sobbing as the song played and I heard the words so clearly in my mind, and my heart.
Ordinary World by Duran Duran
Looking out my window, there what do I see? We live on a local road and in the mornings,
a parade of humanity saunters, jogs, hikes, run dogs and sometimes strolls past the portal
of my seat at the desk while creating the daily script of life.
You can almost set your watch by what I call the hikers, at 6:40 stride by heading south in synch, gabbing with purpose. The dog runner goes by somewhat earlier, with the doggie happy to lead the charge heading in the opposite direction. Rainy days seem not to interfere with their purpose.
Nor does the cold for that matter. The occasional stroller goes by with their head in a
hand-held device. I wonder how much of the surroundings they see?
I am presently computerless, lost all of my data and need to start all over again. At the local library to pen this scribe, so will not be normally available in the wake of this.
Please carry on and post whatever seems appropriate for an open thread. Or otherwise.
Q
Good morning everybody.
A fine morning here, aside from the smokey air.
Seems we have a conflagration going on right here in the county, just north of the city of Battleground.

Have you noticed most of the Main Stream Media (MSM) has laid off the 'Ukraine is winning the war against Russia' narrative? I wonder how long Ukraine will last. I'm sure they will continue a war of terror and sabotage for at least several more months (hopefully not years). Then we have the narrative that the US has a total blockade on Iran, and controls the strait. Yeah, right. How about, the US has the best and most powerful military in the world...which was defeated by the Vietnamese, Taliban, Ansarallah (commonly referred to as the Houthis), and now Iran. There's also the myth that the U$D dominates the global economy. Within the next year or two I believe that notion will also be dispelled as US debt cripples the economy and new mediums of exchange emerge. The sun sets in the west and rises in the east. All that and more below the fold...
