PAIN KILLER by LITTLE BIG TOWN Quit Breaking Up With Me [video=youtube;3R5izofehjo]

Let's Go Somewhere Warm Let's Go Somewhere Warm Not where mosquitoes swarm But where the sun shines all day With no clouds on the way Let's Go Somewhere Warm Where the weather's nice and calm I'm tired of this ice and snow Let me know if you're ready to go to Chorus: Phoenix, Arizona Las Vegas, Nevada Cancun or Hawaii Just you and me Mobile, Alabama Miami Beach, Florida Key West or Tahiti Just you and me Let's Go Somewhere Warm Somewhere to get a good tan Where the days are oh so long Feeling good and feeling strong Let's go somewhere now To the desert or the beach Take along our bathing suits Let's soak up some heat in Phoenix, Arizona Las Vegas, Nevada Cancun or Hawaii Just you and me Mobile, Alabama Miami Beach, Florida Key West or Tahiti Just you and me Baby, let's get away If we like it, we might stay solo Chorus....

Meteoric Rise I was doing okay Making a living, had a couple ladies I was satisfied with a mediocre life Had a decent job with an average salary The day I met you That all changed, it changed overnight You won't stand for mediocrity Whipped me into shape, made me do right My family can't believe my METEORIC RISE They all say They're sure surprised My friends are all jealous Of my newfound success They don't understand my METEORIC RISE Since I met you, I'm the CEO Got money in the bank, a retirement plan I needed you to drive me on These days, I'm a one woman man Reaching my potential Our love keeps getting better Doesn't seem to be an end in sight Better and better and better! My family can't believe my METEORIC RISE They all say They're sure surprised My friends are all jealous Of my newfound success They don't understand my METEORIC RISE Baby, I love you Baby, I need you Baby, I'm nothing Without you! Chorus Jim Colyer ascap

... my 4th CD by Little Big Town Pontoon [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0O0nzkESTI]Little Big Town - Pontoon - YouTube[/ame]

I just woke up. Nothing has made me happy yet.

Comets http://jimcolyer.com/papers/entry?id=429;fa=3 Comets achieved popularity with the publication Carl Sagan's book "Comet" and the 1986 appearance of Halley's comet. Sadly, Halley's was a bust, and the chief interest centered around the pronunciation of Edmund's name. After decades of calling him Hey-le, he suddenly became Hal-le. Comets are notoriously unpredictable, and Halley's has not been the only dud. Kohoutek fizzled in 1973, and there was PANSTARRS in 2013. I drove 30 miles east of Nashville hoping to see it. PANSTARRS was low in the west after sunset and managed to elude me. There is always hype around comets. We read that they may be as bright as Venus or a full moon. Never the case! Comets have been called "dirty snowballs." As I write, astronomers are anticipating Comet ISON in November, 2013. I will make an effort to see it! I have seen three. It was the unpredictability that inspired fear in ancient peoples. The sun, moon, planets and stars had regular patterns, but comets appeared seemingly for no reason. They were considered bad omens. Comets are stuff left over when the solar system formed. There may be a trillion of them in the Oort Cloud in the outer reaches of the solar system. The lighter stuff was blown out when the sun turned on. This spherical region is named after Dutch astronomer Jan Oort. There are about 4000 known comets. Comets circle the sun like the planets. Their orbits are wildly elliptical. As comets approach the sun, frozen methane and ethane gases vaporize to form tails millions of miles long. Comets have two parts, heads about six miles in diameter and fan-shaped tails. There are two kinds of tails, dust tails that reflect sunlight and blue gas tails that shine when excited by the solar wind. Ices vaporize as comets come near the sun. Comets approach the sun head first with their diffuse tails trailing. When leaving the sun, it is the other way around. Tails take the lead. Either way, tails point away from the sun, pushed back by the solar wind. Comets cause meteor showers. As comets orbit the sun, particles get strung out along their orbits in streams. When our planet crosses these streams, meteoroids no larger than apple seeds enter our atmosphere and flare up because of friction. 1 The Great Comet of 1744 This one had six tails. 2 Halley's Comet 1910 Halley's Comet was recorded in 467 BCE (before the common era). Edmund Halley's research led him to predict that the same comet was returning every 76 years. When it appeared in 1758, it made him famous. Halley's is a short-period comet. Long-period comets take thousands of years to return. Halley's was spectacular in 1910, and the earth passed through its tail. 3 Comet Ikeya-Seki 1965 I saw this comet, Halloween morning. Ikeya-Seki was a "sun-grazer," coming close to the sun. It broke into two pieces after emerging from behind the sun. Its tail was 90 million miles long, one of the longest ever. 4 Comet Bennett 1970 Passing near the Cygnus Star Cloud, this comet sported a 10 degree long tail. I was in the army and out of astronomy. Discovered by John Bennett. 5 Comet West 1976 The head of Comet West was as bright as Jupiter, and its tail was 20 degrees long. I was at Peabody College in Nashville and unaware of it. Discovered by Richard West. 6 Shoemaker-Levy 9 1994 The Hubble Space Telescope imaged this comet as it crashed into Jupiter. It was discovered while orbiting Jupiter, captured by the gas giant's gravity. 21 fragments hit Jupiter. Gene Shoemaker died in a car accident in Australia in 1997. 7 Hyakutake 1996 I saw Hyakutake. Its head reached zero magnitude and was seen by many people around the world. Its blue gas tail was 12 million miles long. Dust tails are brighter than gas trails. 8 Hale-Bopp 1997 Discovered by Alan Hale and Thomas Bopp, Hale-Bopp became the darling of comet enthusiasts. It was brighter than zero magnitude for two months and visible in amateur telescopes for two years. Hale-Bopp showed two distinct tails. Its dust tail and blue gas tail were widely separated. I saw it from my parents' front yard on Aiken Road. Hale-Bopp was bright because of its size. Its head was 25 miles in diameter. Comets are brighter when closest to the sun because more ice is vaporized. 9 Comet ISON 2013 ISON is coming in November.

Bogged Down In Dylan I was 19, Robert was on the radio I was never quite sure If he was singing about me Or singing about himself But somebody was like a rollin' stone Ill-fated like Brian Jones On his way to Vietnam A blood and guts diplomat I'm Bogged Down In Dylan Never got past Napoleon in rags Siamese cats and frowns on jugglers Hung up on a mystery tramp Bogged Down In Dylan Still worried 'bout my next meal Chrome horses and pretty people Can't tell you how it feels Mr. Zimmerman, he's an old man Selling images of a young prophet I bet he's amused at the money he's made I bet he's still gettin' laid I'm still waitin' for times to change Precious gifts and government checks Diamond rings, no secrets now An unknown middle-aged wreck I'm Bogged Down In Dylan Never got past Napoleon in rags Siamese cats and frowns on jugglers Hung up on a mystery tramp Bogged Down In Dylan Still worried 'bout my next meal Chrome horses and pretty people Can't tell you how it feels Bogged Down In Dylan He's makin' a killin' While I post my songs On the web Solo Chorus Jim Colyer ascap
