Great Southern Land

"Looking everywhere cause I had to find you this is not the way I remember it here
Anyone will tell you it's a prisoner island hidden in the summer for a million years great southern land
So you look into the land and it will tell you a story,story about a journey ended long ago
If you listen to the motion of the wind in the mountains maybe you can hear them talking like I do
They're gonna betray you,they're gonna forget you are you gonna let them take you over that way?
Great southern land,great southern land you walk alone like a primitive man and they make it work w/ sticks and bones see their hungry eyes it's a hungry home"

Great Southern Land- Icehouse

Given I have several friends "Down Under" and a large readership also in Australia it'd be remiss of me not to wish everyone there a Happy Australia Day.......plus it's a great chance to quote Icehouse one of my all time favourite bands who sadly fall into that classic "overlooked and underrated" category.

I got to prove the weather people wrong today which is always a plus,according to Accu Weather and AOL Weather today would see showers after 2pm w/ a 50% to 60% chance of rain during 4pm-5pm right when I'd scheduled my 8 miler.......all I saw while out there were grey and overcast skies so score one to me,tomorrow could be a different story as the forecast is rain most of the day.

A rest day b4 Saturdays Sprint Medley relay at the US Open at Madison Square Garden might not be the worst thing in the world,in fact had Monday not gotten rained out that was the plan anyway but as it stands right now I have 28 miles for the week,2 on Saturday and 10 on Sunday would give me 40 for the week,something I can live w/.
