Riding with Lady Luck

Jesus, it was frozen those morning. It must have been at least minus 50. It was so cold on my bike it actually felt like the wind was cutting my face and my hands were numb through my gloves.

But despite that I stopped my bike, got the camera out, 1 snap to test, then another to execute and I was back on my way in under a minute.

The bus however wasn't as efficient and it took 2h 15mins to reach my destination. Oh and guess what.... they are putting the prices up. Yehhh!!!!

A good day of getting stuffffff done! And a rather chilli cycle home.

This was the first Tom Waits song I ever heard after putting Closing Time on. (I can't remember why)

Tom Waits Ol 55

Well my time went so quickly,
I went lickety-split out to my old '55
As I drove away slowly, feeling so holy,
God knows, I was feeling alive.

Now the sun's coming up,
I'm riding with Lady Luck,
Freeway cars and trucks,
Stars beginning to fade,
And I lead the parade

Just a-wishing I'd stayed a little longer,
Oh, Lord, let me tell you
That the feeling's getting stronger.

And it's six in the morning,
Gave me no warning; I had to be on my way.
Well there's trucks all a-passing me,
And the lights are all flashing,
I'm on my way home from your place.

And now the sun's coming up,
I'm riding with Lady Luck,
Freeway cars and trucks,
Stars beginning to fade,
And I lead the parade

Just a-wishing I'd stayed a little longer,
Oh, Lord, let me tell you
That the feeling's getting stronger.

And my time went so quickly,
I went lickety-split out to my old '55
As I pulled away slowly, feeling so holy,
God knows, I was feeling alive.

Now the sun's coming up,
I'm riding with Lady Luck,
Freeway cars and trucks...
