Lately things just don't seem the same
Actin' funny but I don't know why
'Scuse me while I kiss the sky
(apologies to Jimi Hendrix)
Made in China?
Good to wake up to a little Hendrix some mornings.
I just moved to the Upstate from PA in October 2020. I hope the whole state is not turning purple politically.
Glad you posted that. All these years I thought it was "kiss this guy".....LOL!
You got the last line wrong. It’s supposed to be:
“S’cuse me, while I kiss this guy...”
more money more money more money
The newer mousetrap is NOT a better mousetrap.
Several hundreds of these white, street lights across the Upstate are now malfunctioning causing the lights to gradually turn deep purple.
Prolly just some tinted effects from Prince’s purple rain.
In actuality, there are no true white LEDs.
An LED is capable of producing only one color.. red, green, blue, etc, while white light is a blend of all colors.
To manufacture a white LED requires a trick.
Here is the trick: it is manufactured using an LED that produces a deep blue, almost purple light output. It also uses a blend of phosphors.
Phosphors are excited, or energized by by light of one color, and then emit light of another color. Some emit red, some green, some yellow.
The phosphors in LED bulbs are blended so that when the emitted red, yellow, and green are added to the purplish blue of the LED, their combined output is approximately white, or at least appears white to the human eye.
The phosphorus are actually what wear out over time. This is why LED bulbs lose their brightness over thousands of hours. I suspect with the street lights, the phosphores degraded much more quickly than planned. When the phosphors quit working, you are left with only the purplish blue light of the LED chip.
Sweet Lucy was a dancer
But none of us would chance her
Because she was a samurai
She made electric shadows
Beyond our fingertips
And none of us could reach that high
She came on like a teaser
I had to touch and please her
Enjoy a little paradise
The lock was in my pocket
When Lucy met the rocket
She never knew the reason why
I can’t deny it
With that smile on her face
Oh it’s not the kill
It’s the thrill of the chase
Feel it coming
It’s knocking at the door
You know it’s no good running
It’s not against the law
The point of no return
And now you know the score
And now you’re learning
What’s knockin’ at your back door
Sweet Nancy was so fancy
To get into her pants
We had to be the aristocracy
The members that she toyed with
At city club were something in diplomacy
So we put her on the hit list
Of a common cunning linguist
A master of many tongues
And now she eases gently
From her Austin to her Bentley
Suddenly she feels so young
I can’t deny it
With that smile on her face
Oh it’s not the kill
It’s the thrill of the chase
Feel it coming
It’s knocking at the door
You know it’s no good running
No it’s not against the law
The point of no return
Now how you know the score
And now you’re learning
What’s knockin’ at your back door
Sweet Lucy was a dancer
But none of us would chance her
Because she was a samurai
She made electric shadows
Beyond our fingertips
And one of us could reach that high
I can’t deny it
With that smile on my face
Oh oh, it’s not the kill
It’s the thrill of the chase
Feel it coming
Knocking at your door
You know it’s no good running
No it’s knocking at your door
Knockin’ at your back door
When the Deep Purple falls
Over sleepy garden walls,
And the stars begin to flicker into flame,
In the mist of a memory you wander back to me
Breathing my name with a sigh
