Out my back door

When Greg tied "mendocino county line" to my downer post, I didn't realize what it touched off. First, after driving and driving last evening before we got to the eastern Mendocino county line, that was in my head. Then came the thought of the long western border to Mendocino county... the Pacific where ... duh.. the sun sets on the US. I believe that is about the western most point in the continental US. This morning after probably my first cheese souffle (and boy was it good and of course "organic"), I stepped out our back door to snap some pictures. Here are just a few. The ad said there were vineyards surrounding. There are literally vineyards surrounding the lodge; on 3 sides. and on the other side is the Freemark Abbey Winery that we passed through last nite on our way to the Silverado Brewing Company to eat. Remember the connections post? On the way back to the room, I was composing this post in my head and "out my back door" came to mind... Thanks Greg for the stimulus! Here comes another snarl of connections. I recently passed on to some a "misheard lyrics" that Susie Otis passed on to me.

Then it hit me that the same group did "out my back door". My mind went wild at that point. I remembered that Stevie Jay on WDWS had mentioned that John
Fogerty http://www.johnfogerty.com/news.html, used to play at the Red Herring http://www.openingbands.com/intelligencereport/venue.race?VenueID=8&view=pastshows
I hope I quoted him correctly. An interesting point is that in the mid - late 70's we actually stopped in at the Red Herring one evening, but I'm sure John was long gone by then. Oh when you look up the Red Herring, check out what street it's on.... Where have we been?? There's a little song we used to sing in youth group... "Happiness runs in a circular motion, thought is but a little boat upon the sea. Everybody is a part of everything anyway, you can have everything if you let yourself be". So here we are from Illinois sitting in wine country, and I look up the lyrics to "out my back door".. It starts with "coming home FROM illinois". Then he describes this stuff that shows that he surely had imbibed too much wine or ate too many mushrooms. Who am I to judge? Maybe he really saw that stuff. Well, just in case you think I may be suffering from similar dillusions, here are the pictures to prove it. Ain't technology grand? Even in the hands of a novice!
