Day 80

Hallelujah! The US Forest Service will allow the Whitefish Mountain Jesus statue to stay put for another ten years. I suppose this also means they are postponing the Second Coming until 2022. Mark your calendars. [To read about the continuing controversy, click here.]

Day 79

This one's from another morning, another walk: somebody's makeshift garden, planted along the cement banks of the Los Angeles River. Brings to mind the old spiritual song, "Down by the Riverside." (lyrics to follow)


Down by the LA River


"Gonna lay down my burden,
Down by the riverside,
Down by the riverside,
Down by the riverside.
Gonna lay down my burden,
Down by the riverside,
Down by the riverside.
Chorus:
  I ain't go study war no more,
  study war no more,
  ain't go study war no more.
  I ain't go study war no more,
  study war no more,
  ain't go study oh war no more.

Gonna lay down my sword and shield
Down by the riverside...
  Chorus
Gonna try on my long white robe
Down by the riverside...
  Chorus
Gonna try on my starry crown
Down by the riverside...
  Chorus
Gonna put on my golden shoes
Down by the riverside...
 Chorus
Gonna talk with the Prince of Peace
Down by the riverside...
 Chorus

Gonna shake hands around the world
Down by the riverside..."
