Gone fishin'. . .see him snoozin' by a brook
Gone fishin'. . .didn't even bait his hook
There's his hound dog by his side fleas are bitin' at his hide
He won't scratch 'em he's to tired he ain't got no ambition
Gone fishin'. . .learnin' fishin' worms to swim
I'm wishin. . .he wuz me and I wuz him
Wish I had a plane to fly here's what I'd write in the sky
Gone' fishin'. . .instead of jest awishin'...

It's been so long
Since I've seen her face
You say she's doin' fine
I still recall
A sad cafe
How it hurt so bad to see her cry
I didn't want to say goodbye...

Leona's Restaurant
1509 Hwy 101
Reedsport, Or.

Ice cream cones and candy bars
Swings and things like bicycles and cars
There’s a sale on happiness
You buy two and it costs less>>>

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Would have loved to see this with the neon still intact...

Any way you want it baby,
I am your burger man.
If you need good hot grillin',
Try my burger stand.
If you need a slice of thrillin',
I'm the baddest in the land.
Any way you want it baby,
I am your burger man...

After spending the night in a redwood grove getting pelted by a wind driver rainstorm, we set out on the road and stumbled upon this gem...Opened in 1951...I would have loved a burger, even for breakfast...

Fresh Freeze Drive-In

You gotta work hard make no mistake
Cause everywhere you turn there's fakes and snakes
You gotta stay awake don't sleep for God's sake it's make or break
Now it's time to move and shake
I'm Great as the Lakes flipping jacks like hotcakes...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We were about an hour out of Eureka and after a night of no sleep, the truck was using two lanes and the shoulder to make its way...Luckly we found this oasis in beautiful downtown Garberville, center of the Emerald Triangle...

Sunday, Monday, Happy Days...
Tuesday, Wednesday, Happy Days...
Thursday, Friday, Happy Days...
The weekend comes,
My cycle hums,
Ready to race to you...

Holy Moses I have been deceived
Holy Moses let us live in peace
Let us strive to find a way to make all hatred cease
There's a man over there
What's his colour I don't care
He's my brother let us live in peace...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We just had to go into the store with the tie dye hanging outside and ended up very thankful...

We look to the left and to the right.
We need help but nobody's in sight.
Where is the man that we all need?
Well tell him he's to come, and rescue me.
Ken is the man that we all need,
Ken is the leader of the GLC...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Looks like Ken has moved on to greener pastures...

Sanitation expert and a maintenance engineer
Garbage man, a janitor and you my dear
A real union flight attendant, my oh my
You ain't nothin' but a waitress in the sky...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Out in the middle of nowhere, we roll up upon a cool old classic neon...

Which way you gonna go?
To the left or to the right?
Gonna go up, gonna go down?
I ain't got no clue tonight...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm so confused...

I hide away
At the Plaza Hotel
When the places I live get too small
The most perfect day
At the Plaza Hotel
Is to sit for a spell
In a suite or to sprawl
On the bed
Until I clear my head
I have to say
At the Plaza Hotel...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Either someone was inside refurbishing the old place or hitting on a crack pipe because they didn't take kindly to me nosing around...

I make my living off the evening news
Just give me something, something I can use
People love it when you lose, they love dirty laundry...

She looks like she mighta been a pretty good sign at one time until one of the brothers got scratched...

So, needless to say
I'm odds and ends
But I'll be stumblin' away
Slowly learnin' that life is okay
Say after me
"It's no better to be safe than sorry"

Take on me
Take me on
I'll be gone
In a day or two...

Although I've driven past the Tomales Hotel over a hundred times, at all hours of the day and night, I have yet to set foot inside...and peering through the window, it looks pretty neat...
