I just keep on walking, for the treasures that I seek. The streets are covered with souls on the ground, of all the true loves someone never found.</blockquote>Teen angst, I guess? There's another one that's about the emotions of getting an abortion. I have no idea where our lyracist got that from. Maybe there was a pregnancy I didn't know about. Found Rue verse:

The sky is cloudy. The weather, it is bleak.
I just keep on walking, for the treasures that I seek.
The streets are covered with souls on the ground,

It was very dark stuff indeed. This notebook is less than five years old, though.

As I recall the songs you guys did were all very dark. I remember wondering what you really knew at age 16 of scorned love and being broke and homeless in a big city. I believe I still have perhaps the only surviving copy of Rue's cd in my collection. We can listen to it next week. I suspect that this poem is actually lyrics for your high school band Rue.

For two days in a row now, I haven't taken my camera out to the grocery store and both days I've seen something that would be great blog content! Yesterday, I saw this van that I've seen many times. It has a big bulldog logo on the side of the window as a corporate logo for some repair service. But yesterday, inside the van, was a HUGE bulldog that looked just like the logo. Today, I saw Scott, from South Dakota, walking by in a huge procession of little 3-year-olds all dressed like little firemen. They were pretty adorable. Scott said they stopped traffic for a full five minutes as they all crossed the main streets on their way to the town hall. Hopefully he'll have some footage on <a href="http://scottfromsouthdakota.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">his site</a>. Darn!
