This woman has been personally responsible for lots of global warming and temperature rise
Real Science 
Winter returns over the Great Lakes.
ren, I drove through snow this morning going to work here is Northern Michigan. It snowed hard enough and was cold enough to have snow on the ground. It is melting now at 1230 hrs.
Great song.
The woman in question is Marie Fredriksson and the ruin is genuine, placed at the northern tip of the island Öland. The island has by the way no military defence at all, the russians can occupy without problems if there is a military unrest in the Baltic.
Fox News producer Jesse Watters asked Earth Day concert attendees in Washington, D.C., Saturday which is a bigger threat: climate change or terrorism?
“Climate change,” one woman said.
“Climate change at the moment,” another echoed.
“I mean, I would go with climate change,” one more said.
Watters shot back.
“A lot more people have died because of terrorism,” he said.
“Yeah, but I’m not a people person,” the woman replied.

Frost warnings for Owensboro, KY on a line extending into central MO. Forecast of 41 F for SE MO. Light along I-94 in MI. today. This is what I have heard from the NWSR and other drivers today.
Thankfully I got a call to go to Eagle Pass, TX. on Sunday. Departed 01 10:45 Sunday and got back here in Indiana at 15:45 today. I believe that I have now been to ever Texas border town that is a commercial point of entry from Mexico during my driving career. Brownsville, McAllen, Pharr, Laredo, Eagle Pass, Del Rio, and El Paso. If I have missed any then it’s because I am unaware of them.
It was a wonderful drive except a little nickle sized hail I ran into on I-30 just SW of Little Rock, AR Sunday night. The semi desert brush country of west Texas is all green right now with plenty of wild flowers blooming. They have obviously had a fair amount of rain. Best time or the year in that part of the country IMO. You know your out in the semi desert sticks when you see a sign that says “No driving in river beds. Against State Law.”
I saw that sign on FM-481 “Old Eagle Pass Road” between Uvalde and the junction with US 57 just east of Eagle Pass. I was on that road a with a big rig due to a fiesta and rush hour traffic in San Antonio having forced me to alter my route because I was very tight on time. My gamble paid off. My window was 19:00 to 19:15 local. I arrived at 18:57. And man I’m glad I went that way. Just gorgeous. And the road with it’s dips and weaves and turns was an interesting drive with my nearly empty trailer as well. Sooooooo, well…..Texas! And BTW here is one of Wyman Meinzer’s excellent slide shows titled simply ‘West Texas’ put to the music of Doug Smith, who doesn’t read a lick of music. If you haven’t seen and heard this, then you’ve missed something: https://vimeo.com/22132017
Mylene Farmer could give Marie Fredriksson a good run for the title. 🙂 Just sayin’.

This is a great example of how a woman can become more attracive than she is ‘visually’ through her ability to sing/perform. I know because my Associates Degree is in vocal performance, and some of the sexiest women I ever ‘met’, so to speak, were great vocalists too.
And carrying a tune well, serves the lads well, as well. 😉
Agreed, Gator. Good pipes and not hard to look at. 🙂 “Always Remember”, “Souviens toi du jour”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bRjT_aBdcU
Translations available on request. French was my second language. Fortran, PL1, C++, Python, Russian and German came later. 🙂
I had dual citizenship, French and American, until I had to sign up for Selective Service at 18. I also lived in Stuttgart for 3 years, and used to be nearly fluent in German.
The language of love is universal. 😉
Apparently, Mr. Gator enjoys music. Incroyable et admirable. En particulier, je aime la guitare flamenca. :).

I travelled a lot. Germany, Spain, Ukraine, Morocco, Kuwait, Tajikistan, Thailand, and a bunch of other places. Don’t miss the uncivilized places at all. Americans ought to travel more so they can see the failure of socialism and the tragedy of islam and ignorance. Jaded? you betcha. Most people just want a life. But as they say in Louisiana, “some of em just need killin”.
Ana Vidovic reminds me of my longtime on and off girlfriend I started dating when I was a music student, she coluld play any instrument you put in her hands, truly gifted. But my ‘Ana’ had blue eyes, and I taught her to sing. She was on a violin scholarship, and I was struggling with a classical guitar and piano, along with voice lessons. We dated seriously, and spoke of marriage for about four years, and we remain friends to this day.
Interestingly she married a Geologist five years ago, and both of them work for Union Pacific Railroad. Her husband and I are like brothers, in that we both have a never ending fascination with beautiful women, and this planet.
Great stuff, thanks for bringing back some wonderful memories!
Gator, this is my idea of synergistic audio and visuals. 🙂
Another nice one! I had planned to be an Air Force pilot, and I did not care if it was C-5’s or F-15’s, just as long as I could fly. Alas my soccer knees killed that career option.
Another one that got away. 😆
IMHO, you have great taste.
Duty calls… 😉
More my style of music.
Very Nice, Mr. Andy. 🙂 Talented Lady, fine music. Do you like Andy McKee?
My ears seem to prefer the female singers (eyes too) 😉
Eva Cassidy, Alison Krause, Linda Ronstadt etc
Eddi Reader https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMRLKtkE38Q
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6xMZU_QGhI (she wrote that song when she was with Fairground Attraction.. a huge hit)
Also heavily into modern retro jazz such as :
Ingrid Lucia, Lavay Smith, Squirrle Nut Zippers, Devil Doll. (could name many more)
IMO, you owe it to your ears to listen to as much of Eddi Reader as you can. 🙂
Here she is with Bela Fleck on Banjo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ckGmLyaDW4
And one of my absolute faves..
or if doesn’t egt to you..
Good stuff Andy. I am also a fan of Alison Krauss, as well as these guys…
