Tune Day: ...and the Livin's easy

There will be much more here... lots of London to discuss and other things. Plus, I head to Vegas today and I cannot imagine not having something to say about that.

In the meantime, it it Tuesday and, if you read this blog, you know what that means. If you live anywhere near here, you know how ridiculously warm it is right now. And, sure, it's going to get chilly this weekend. But the buds are blooming, the grass is attempting to grow (the weeds are certainly doing fine, unfortunately).

Anyhow, summer is coming. And no one says that better than Matt Pond PA circa 2003:

In 2007, I had just about had enough. North Carolina (which still fancied itself as the progressive spot of the South before it went and got crazy and Nashville and Austin were all "about that..." BUT I DIGRESS... where was I? Oh yes, North Carolina) local radio had stations switching to all-day Christmas music on November 1. Also, it was a year or two before that that awful flipping "Christmas Shoes" song was big. I wanted something better. Maybe something irreverent. And I succeeded!

Hiking/Backpacking the Meander Meadow-Dishpan Gap-Cady Ridge Loop

It looks and sounds perfect. For a novice-backpacker-yet-seasoned-hiker like me, it seemed like the perfect place to not only stretch my own abilities, but also take a first time backpacker who wanted to touch the Pacific Crest Trail. Then, I started to read the trip reports: overgrown trails, a bad road in... all with the spectre of mountain thunderstorms. What was I getting into here?
