I was in Austin today, speaking at a conference. On the way there and back, I heard some good music on various Sirius/XM stations. I made a playlist (click for some great music) of some of the best ones.
If you like music, get Spotify. If you need an invite for a free account – and you will use it- ask me via Facebook and I’ll send you one.
The best song I heard today isn’t on Spotify. It’s a great cover of Do You Know What I Mean, by Genya Ravan. So I put a good cover of Whipping Post on there as a stand-in. I searched the web for her version of Do You Know What I Mean, but all I found was a “trailer”- a partial clip. You can buy the song via iTunes.
Sadly, it wasn’t all incense and unicorns today. The wildfire damage east of Bastrop is very, very bad. I can’t tell if the damage to Bastrop State Park, one of our favorite camping spots, is just bad or devastating.
I videoed some of it with my iPhone. You can get a sense of it, but sadly the damage is much worse than it looks on this video.
The video starts at the tip of the arrow, right beside Bastrop State Park, heading East. Notice how even the medians between the lanes are scorched and black.
Bad, bad stuff.
