Leftovers and Piracy

I realized this morning that the red blotches on the crosswalk in the caged-kid picture are bug leftovers on my windshield. I guess the key to good in-van photography is keeping the vehicle clean.

And the secret to good song writing is to be original. I was trying to do so today, and it was going pretty well. I liked the verse, and the chorus was supper catchy, but oddly familiar. It took me a while, but I finally figured out that I had come up with the melody and chords from the chorus of Strawberry Fields. No wonder it was catchy. I hate then that happens. I once wrote Sweet Home Alabama too, but I get more satisfaction from accidentally ripping off the Beatles than accidentally ripping off Lynyrd Skynyrd.
