While going through a particularly zany period in life, I fell in love with Stealer Wheel's classic
"Stuck in the Middle with You"
But there are other interesting versions, like the Comatose Brothers' kick on it. Pretty good, but I like their take on Neil Young's Harvest Moon better.
Speaking of zany --
It's been snowing. And snowing. And SNOWING.
We had been thinking/planning of a trip to Michigan this week. Daughter #2 and Son #1 were going to come down and watch the puppies while we were gone. They got a mile away from the house -- and slid into a ditch. The Brick went to rescue them -- and slid into the same ditch. It took hours to get out, and the vehicles were wheel-deep in mud. (So were the people.)
The truck went on its side, adding a whole new series of dents and scrapes. The rear tail light is ripped out, and the mirrors took some abuse, too. Fortunately, the truck, and the kids' Challenger, are drivable.
What a mess.
Meanwhile, it's still snowing. Nobody's going anywhere right now. But at least we have electricity, plenty of food and wood for the stove.
The storm isn't supposed to let up until Thursday sometime. And thanks to a heavy layer of mud, the roads will probably take longer than that.
Ah well. ...Clowns to the left, jokers to the right. Here I am, stuck in the middle with you...
