Sitting here on this chilly night, with snow on the ground from a 'mini' snowstorm that hit us today (so I had to go get son from school 2 1/2 hours early).  This is before the 'big storm' we are anticipating tomorrow through Thursday. We are passing the time watching the Olympics, feeling the chill more looking at the snow and ice, and keeping an eye on the scrolling school closings across the bottom of the screen. As of now, they haven't closed school. But son is anxiously awaiting the news ' School Closed Tuesday .' But the uncertainty is frustrating. Click here if you are having trouble viewing video. Will he stay or will he go? We will probably get a call at 6:13 am (the usual time the automated calling system gets to our number).  So I will be up anyways. But he may get to sleep in.  photo courtesy of volcanic Maybe I will get to go back to bed...we will see.....in the meantime we can at least enjoy The Clash . This indecision...

London Calling As often is the case, songs pop in my head by something that triggers a lyric. In this case, the charms on my newest Toekini's   ( Zibbet link )  has brought The Clash to my mind, and there this song has been ever since. London Underground, Red Telephone Box, and The Union Jack Toekini's available in both my ArtFire shop and Zibbet shop Of course, I don't know all the lyrics, just the repetitive London Calling . S o, over and over and over, this has been stuck in my head.  I have never been to London , but it is on my unofficial 'Bucket List' . (I haven't actually written anything down...so far it is just a bunch of things in my head, like, "yeah I want to do that someday...." )   And no doubt, this song will be stuck in my head when that day comes, too. Now, it is stuck in your head. Enjoy.

The Clash  rocked out years ago with Rock the Casbah . It never has lost it's relevancy and often comes up in times of conflict in the Middle East or Northern Africa. Wikipedia states: The song gives a  fabulist  account of a ban on rock music by the  Sharif  or  King  being defied by the population, who proceed to "rock the  casbah ". The  King  orders  jet   fighters  to bomb any people in violation of the ban. The pilots ignore the orders, and instead play rock music on their cockpit radios. Rock on!
