Comment:

The Aimlessly Wandering Mix. There is this thing I like to do and used to do it a lot. Unconscious driving. You know what I mean. Finding yourself at a stoplight and taking the time to think "How the hell did I get here?" Where one is going is known and how one is going is known but how did it all come together without getting a scratch? Turn off those cel phones. There are other things to listen to. Such as when the wife calls in the morning and asks if Brother is home, because she saw a dead cat in the road on the way to work. "No, Brother is home asleep on the couch." Then finding Little Girl
is not home and has not been home all day. This one is going out to Little Girl. You're already missed. Presented in WMA stereo.

Nice to know I'm not the only one. Granted, I don't do it as much anymore, simply due to the price of gas. I do still pop on the headphones and head off afoot, and have found myself... someplace else... Nice mix! (As alwayss.)

Wow, haven't heard that Deep Purple track in ages. Nice Heads and Madness tracks too. As much I love aimless driving, I liked randomly planned driving even better... "Take every even highway north and every odd highway west." "Take every exit with a W in it", "Drive until you see water than turn right" ... led to some great adventures.
