So here is your assignment for today, dear readers. Find a song that inspires you to write something, whether it gives you an idea for a script or just puts you into a better frame of mind
Babe, you’re getting closer
The lights are goin’ dim
The sound of your breathin’
Has made the mood I’m in
All of my resistance
Is lying on the floor
Taking me to places
I’ve never been before….
When I write my stories that I like to think of as “Grave Tales” I always reach for my Elvis tunes and I play this one first…actually I listen to it a lot when I’m writing.
It’s been the ‘back beat’ for stories like
Midnight Conversation at Riversleigh

Way Down Lyrics (Elvis Presley)
Babe, you’re getting closer
The lights are goin’ dim
The sound of your breathin’
Has made the mood I’m in
All of my resistance
Is lying on the floor
Taking me to places
I’ve never been before
Ooh, and I can feel it,
Feel it, feel it, feel it
Way down where the music plays
Way down like a tidal wave
Way down where the fires blaze
Way down, down, way, way on down
Ooh, my head is spinnin’
You got me in your spell,
A hundred magic fingers
On a whirling carousel
The medicine within me
No doctor could prescribe
Your love is doing something
That I just can’t describe
Ooh, and I can feel it,
Feel it, feel it, feel it
Way down where the music plays
Way down like a tidal wave
Way down where the fires blaze
Way down, down, way, way on down
Hold me again,
Tight as you can
I need you so,
Baby, let’s go
Way down where it feels so good
Way down where I hoped it would
Way down where I never could
Way down, down, way, way on down
Start Walkin!
I Am SO Forgiven

Commuter Hell Revisited
Yesterday some of the buses were late.
One woman stopped my bus, got on and screeched at our driver…and I’m talking SCREECHED at how inconvenienced she was, how there was no reason ” no reason at all ” she made it clear to us all for why SHE should be standing there and for why her bus was half an hour late.
Screechy The Snot Nosed Banshee would at least get home that night and she will live to screech the next time her bus is late.
This is the reason the traffic was backed up.
Do you think Screechy cares?
I didn’t think so either.
Man found dead along Interstate 5

MOUNTLAKE TERRACE, Wash. — Police here say the death of a man whose body was found near Interstate 5 on Wednesday morning is suspicious.
Department of Transportation workers found the body inside a sleeping bag just a few feet away from the southbound lanes of I-5 at the 220th Street exit.
Police said several details, including the location of the body, lead them to believe the man could have been murdered.
“The location of where the body was at – about ten feet off the fog line, from the freeway, in a sleeping bag – it’s not a normal area where a transient would sleep,” said Trooper Keith Leary.
And state troopers said the man did not seem like a transient as he was well-groomed. The man, who appeared to be in his 40s, did not have any identification.
Police said the body was found with duct tape wrapped around the outside of the sleeping bag near the man’s feet.
“It would be very difficult for an individual to do that to themselves and tuck them(selves) into a sleeping bag,” Mountlake Terrace Police Chief Scott Smith.
Smith believes the body likely hadn’t been at the location for long, but said it appeared as if someone had tried to hide it.
“Did have some debris, leaves and branches covering it. So it would not have been readily visible to some coming off the off-ramp,” he said.
There were no obvious signs of trauma to the body and an autopsy will be needed to determine the cause of death.
Police are looking through missing person reports to see if they could find a description that matches the found man.
“It’s a bit unusual for us to investigate anything like this, but it is what it is and we do what we have to do,” Smith said.
It’d Taste Better With Ice Cream
I hate Shopping Malls, I hate ” Black Friday ” I hate the way NPR ran an entire segment on why you should not over- eat during the Holidays ( because they care about your health ) but they sell air time to Wal Mart- you know the company that treats the communities they infest the same way locusts treat the fields they infest.
Most of all
I hate the way the Holidays are all about
Shopping Malls and Parking Spaces.

Signs
It’s been one of those weeks,
you know
one of those weeks.
Here’s the deal-
This guy puts up a billboard and spews hate filled bile from it
every chance he gets.
What he does has been called
” thought Provoking “
The only thing that billboard provokes in me is the urge to do some serious
Projectile Vomiting.
And in case your curious- yes I’ve driven by the ” The Sign ” and in all the years I’ve driven by it I’ve learned one thing from what I’ve read on them-
TO KEEP DRIVING….
I’d advise you to do the same.

LEWIS COUNTY, Wash. – A longstanding controversial billboard in Lewis County is once again garnering attention. Over the years, the owner has used the board to air his opinions about everything from politicians to homosexuality.
The latest message is raising deep concerns in the local Hispanic community. The grinning face of Uncle Sam is what drivers usually see first.
Then the written message on the billboard near I-5 gets clearer:“No Mexican Olympic teams?? All the runners and swimmers are here!”
Owner of the billboard Mike Hamilton, who did not want to go on camera, says he’s trying to deliver a serious message on illegal immigration — but in a funny manner:“I wanted to use humor to draw attention to illegal immigration,” he said. “My goal in the sign is to stir things up and inspire people to educate themselves about the subject.”
Hamilton has definitely stirred things up. While residents in the area are well used to the political and pointed messages on the billboard – this time people are speaking up
. The message seems to be especially painful for the growing Hispanic community in Lewis County. According to the U.S. Census, the population of Hispanics has doubled from 3,500 to 7,000 living in the area. Many are not laughing at the message“Very hurtful – I am Hispanic and I’m proud of it and that’s really wrong,” said Adelina Petersen, resident.
Others say it’s an obvious joke that is thought-provoking. “It makes you stop and think about it you know? I mean look at all the illegal immigrants we do have here you know,” said Travis Jones.
Yeah look what’s happening to them:
FBI REPORT DOCUMENTS HATE CRIMES AGAINST LATINOS AT RECORD LEVEL
Hate crimes rise as anti-immigrant campaigns fill the airwaves and fuel anti-immigrant local ordinances
November 19, 2007 WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Federal Bureau of Investigation Hate Crimes Statistics Report released today demonstrates the real societal impact of anti-immigrant campaigns launched over the airwaves and through anti-immigrant legislation.
The report shows a sharp increase in the number of hate crimes reported against Hispanics based on their ethnicity or national origin to the highest levels since the reports were first mandated by the Hate Crimes Statistics Act.
According to the report, in 2006, Hispanics comprised 62.8% of victims of crimes motivated by a bias toward the victims’ ethnicity or national origin. In 2004, the comparable figure was 51.5%.
Since 2004, the number of victims of anti-Hispanic crimes increased by 25%.
“Anti-immigrant hatred heard on the radio and cable shows reaches America’s neighborhoods with real consequences,” stated MALDEF President and General Counsel John Trasviña. “Heightened anti-immigrant sentiment has blocked immigration reform and seeks to turn local police into immigration law enforcers thus making it more difficult for victims to report crimes.
The FBI report should serve as a wake up call to our nation’s leaders to take action on comprehensive immigration reform, reduce tensions and safeguard the basic civil rights and liberties of all Americans.”
The report goes on to demonstrate the steady growth of anti-Hispanic hate crimes after 2004. 2006: 576 anti-Hispanic crimes against 819 victims 2005: 522 anti-Hispanic crimes against 722 victims
2004: 475 anti-Hispanic crimes against 646 victims
2003: 426 anti-Hispanic crimes against 595 victims
2002: 480 anti-Hispanic crimes against 639 victims
Founded in 1968, MALDEF, the nation’s leading Latino legal organization, promotes and protects the rights of Latinos through litigation, advocacy, community education and outreach, leadership development, and higher education scholarships.
