Bringing down the Landslide

Since Monday,
my workday now starts a half hour later,
and traffic is so much worse.
To arrive on time,
I must leave when I used to leave.

Those Inexplicable Traffic Jams
“When road work, car accidents or bottlenecks are not to blame.”

My father is retired, and complains about the sun in his eyes when he ‘commutes’ from his bedroom to the kitchen. Yeah, he got me good with that one.

Stevie Nicks’ “Landslide”
“The story behind ‘Landslide’ as told by Stevie Nicks: It was written in 1973 at a point where Lindsey [Buckingham] and I had driven to Aspen for him to rehearse for two weeks with Don Everly. Lindsey was going to take Phil’s place. So they rehearsed and left, and I made a choice to stay […]”

The funk soul Brother

“The song features the repeated line ‘Right about now, the funk soul brother.

JCCC celebrates Earth Days April 22 to 26

“Mark your calendars for a variety of sustainability events across campus the week of April 22.

Highlights include:

•  Farm lunch buffet
•  Bike-power blended smoothies
•  Farm workday
•  The Lorax
•  And more!

Several events are free, though some do require RSVPs. View the full calendar for complete event lineup and for signup information where requested.”

Is that tomorrow or Thursday?

Astronomy department presents Evening with the Stars April 20

“The JCCC Astronomy Department presents Evening with the Stars at 8 p.m. Wednesday, April 20, in GEB 233.

Photographer and amateur astronomer Tom Martinez will share his images, techniques and love for astrophotography.

Following the talk, weather permitting, Doug Patterson and Bill Koch, both JCCC professors of science, will host an observation of the night sky at the Paul Tebbe Observatory atop CLB. Visible objects include the moon, Jupiter, the Orion Nebula and the Beehive Cluster.

This event is free and open to the public.

For more information, contact either Koch, or Patterson.”

For Wednesday, tomorrow and Thursday are the same day, yet I had spent part of the day with the idea that today was Thursday. Somewhere in the archives of Egocentric Universe, I have another post when I had confusion about the day or date, as the above author demonstrates.

VIDEO: Two Minute ‘Steins;Gate’ Anime Movie Trailer
”After an earlier teaser, Kadokawa has delivered the goods with a full two minute promo for ‘Steins;Gate Fuka Ryoiki no déjà-vu,’ the anime movie set to hit theaters on April 20th.”

Late into last night, I was watching YouTube, I suffered some from the loss of sleep, and actually asked myself, ”Is it tomorrow or Thursday?”

FuturistSpeaker.com – Empty Playgrounds:  Global Populations in Decline
