I have been driving different cars to work each day. Parts for the Tahoe are on the way. This is one of those reasons why I wanted the Bug running, but it is not quite there yet. If one of our daily drivers was down, we would have a spare car to drive. Last week I drove the Jeep mostly, this week I have been driving the VW GTI. BTW, if I drove the GTI daily, I would be in trouble. That car is fast! It has the same engine with turbo as the Audi A4. I must drive it with cruise control, otherwise I would be passing everyone.
The reason I am sharing this is instead of messing with the radio stations I carry some CDs with me to listen to while I drive. This morning I was listening to Simon & Garfunkel Live. It is interesting how music triggers memories. The song ‘Feeling Groovy’ brought back memories of sitting in a Paris sidewalk café enjoying coffee and watching people walk by. I was on the last part of my backpack through Europe adventure. Next stop was London in a few days, then catch a flight back home. While in Paris I heard American music a lot while walking around the big city. Music playing at outdoor cafes, in the parks and other places. Before Paris, I did not hear familiar music very much. When I was in London, I heard Supertramp Breakfast in America for the first time. In fact, I heard it several times at different outdoor cafes. Today when I hear Simon & Garfunkel I think of Paris. When I hear Supertramp, I think of London.
Maybe by the end of next week, I will be driving the Tahoe again. I will be back in my routine of listening to my saved satellite radio stations such as the Message and the 70’s channel.
