Friday Nite Country Music
I came here looking for something I couldn't find anywhere else
Well I don't wanna be nobody just want a chance to be myself
I've done a thousand miles of thumbin' yes I've worn blisters on my heels
Tryin' to find me something better on the streets of Bakersfield
You don't know me but you don't like me you say you careless how I feel
How many of you that sit and judge me ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?
[ guitar ]
Spent some time in San Francisco spent a night there in the can
They threw this drunk man in my jail cell I took fifteen dollars from that man
I left him my watch and my old house key I don't want folks thinkin' that I'd steal
Then I thanked him as he was sleeping and I headed out for Bakersfield
You don't know me...
How many of you that sit and judge me ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?
"I took fifteen dollars from that man

Heck given the price of Bakersfield housing $15 sound expensive. ;-)

First time I ever got 3 in a row! A hat trick!
So, as per your last post, since you can't go without your precious vintage wines for the next few weeks, what liquids will you be imbibing? Dare I say it -- wheatgrass shots?? ;-)
Myself? I'll be drinking my standard... ahem... "fresh protein shake" as usual. Not that there's anything wrong with that!
Make it stop
In honor of Bobby Coté, here's a YouTube video of a man wearing tri-tip on his head. :-)

Casey, ever thought about hitchhiking across Turkey? I think you would enjoy it.
Hitchhike through Turkey? Depends on whether or not they have an extradition treaty with the U.S. ;-)
It might be nice because Turkish customs are similar to my native Uzbekistan, like the manner in which we use the toilet...
I think that $15 is in 1998 dollars. Thus, house prices in Bakersfield have doubled.
Hi Casey!
The "tri-tip tri-corner meat hat" video cracked me up so much I nearly peed my pants!
Great find!
Hey, my local housing market makes national news:

Silver lining?
Or does it just mean that kc moved to Florida?
Bill, Is there any large vegetable growing operations in your area?
