as the first stale leaves of october twirl gently on the morning breeze, a city lifts its curfew, and the gloom is reopened for the first time since flooding; 18 brave souls venture out for a reprieve from the work of real city wide recovery, and encounter a reality just as harsh as a boil water advisory…
Conditions: 63F and dark. no humidity, no rain…
Tha Thang:
it’s been a rough couple of weeks for the City of Columbia
(instead of “google dream” i used “driveby dream” and this is what popped up…go figure #historyiscool)
and Monday night’s breaking news didn’t do anything to help the feeling….
(OOPS, Wrong Picture…)
(anybody gimme a lift to 95?!?)
…except maybe to put things in perspective…I mean, what’s catastrophic destruction of homes and lives compared to gamecock football returning to mediocrity?!?!
(photo taken from (driveby’s front yard…go figure)
so lets use our time together to clear our minds…
2 laps around the track for a warmup…get the blood flowing, clear the cobwebs, get the ankles and the knees and the stiff old backs and the elbows and the spleen limbered up, get the old brain juices flowing,
get the eyes to fully open, get the heart rate up, try to realize exactly what we got going on here…why not thunder? why not Q on the first day back at it in a couple of weeks as we’ve addressed the flood? it’s good to be back to a normal schedule, since the curfew is lifted, and to get back to being a workout group…
let’s head over to the COP…which will be here…no here…no here…no lets go this way…now this way…
this is fun…it’s supposed to be fun…
