I WANNA GET DOWN, DOWN ON THE GROUND!

Can you name this tune in 60 seconds? Betcha can't.

Altered states . . . we've all been there one way or another. There are stories.

One dark night, Marin county. The wife and I headed home after a night of dining, dancing, etc. (it's the "etc." that will kill you) in Nicassio.

Me at the wheel of our 280Z, 90 miles an hour and then some and an unexpected right turn in the road.

It becomes most apparent that two wheels of the Z are up and the remaining two wheels on the pavement. A slight adjustment to the wheel and to the throttle. All four wheels are back on the pavement.

The wife and I both look at each other, grin, and continue our way home.

And that's the way it was back in the day.

Sometimes I wonder how I ever survived.

Hey Papa Watson!
Only five more Fridays until the hostage crisis ends! (But who's counting?) What a crisis it has been! The light is at the end of the tunnel....

PS. I have already started to "get down!"

PS. It's Eric Clapton's famous song "Cocaine."

Anonymous: Well then, git down, girl! I've got like 35 more hostage crises days left. Like a cow smelling water during a long Texas cattle drive, it's stampede time!

And Anonymous #2: Right. But did you name that tune in less than 60 seconds?
