I'm healing just fine from my hernia surgery. There is less and less discomfort, and I think my trip to see the surgeon in a few days will be a snap. It ended up being no big deal.

Got Rockumentary for 1967 coming up this weekend.

Maybe you need this kind of busy executive schedule:

“Walking parking Meters”...a line from “Subterranean Homesick Blues”, a very dream-like stream-of-consciousness song by Bob Dylan.

Hmmmmmm...Interesting.

That’s funny...that is what I first thought this thread was about...on the back, side, etc.

When I go to sleep, I often start out on my back with my arms over my head. I have no idea why, but that is what is most comfortable. Then I end up on my sides like old Dagwood there.

I hurt (aggravated) my back recently, and somehow ended up on my stomach, and...I couldn’t get off of my stomach, the pain was excruciating when I tried to roll to one side or the other. Eventually I did it, but...that was a new one for me.

Looking forward to your Rockumentary!

Hi, everyone. When I was a kid, I hated going to sleep. Now . . . zzzzzz.

When I was in the USN, I slept in a berth RIGHT under the wires on a carrier, for two deployments.

I also worked night shift on one of them. And on one of those cruises, I was in the top bunk of a triple bunk, with the flight deck about three or four feet above me.

I could hear it all day long, in my sleep, as the planes would come in to land:

The whine of the approaching engine, throttled back usually, being goosed up and down getting closer, and closer. Then...WHAM! The plane would hit the deck and the whole place would shake. The arresting wires would screech, as they let out, and the whining engine turned into a full-throated roar as the pilot shoved the throttles to military. Then, abruptly, the sound would stop, followed by the slithering sound of the thick, metal cable being retracted back into place, ending with the soft, metallic “click...click...click” as it straightened out on top of the metal bands that looked like leaf springs from a truck whose purpose was to elevate the cable off the deck so the tail hook could more easily snag it.

Three little metallic clicks, and the process would begin again. I knew all the planes by sound. The high, sharp whistling engine of an A-6 Intruder. The loud sound of the F-14 Tomcats with their two TF-30 engines. The pedestrian sounding Corsair, and the hot sounding Crusader. But most of all, the big E-2 Hawkeyes whose beating propellers you felt rather than heard, and from much further off.

Yeah. I learned to sleep through it, but even doing it, I heard it all, all the time.

Totally weird, I never knew there was such a thing. I wonder if there was a cartoon or something that had walking parking meters?

And why on earth would that be scary?

It was the first “music video” that i can remember, but it did not visualize the lyrics.
