Happy freshly-showered good morning

Wednesday and wonderfully conflicted early-morning weather. Blue skies blaring through low-hanging misty clouds that seem intent on clinging to the pine tops rather than be blown away. The roads are wet from rains just past and the air has that freshly washed morning scent. Mr. Malleable has just stepped from his morning shower with a scant piece of white towel clasped about him for modesty's sake.

It's a comfortable 50° F (10° C) already this morning, so the top goes down. Apart from the risk of a little wet road spray from the single-occupant-conveyance diesel monster-truck growling and lumbering ridiculously in front of me, the clouds are spent and getting wet on the drive in shouldn't be a worry.

This morning's first tune couldn't be more appropriate to the day. Cockburn sings:

Good day to you
Fat balloon man
May you always have air
You sing a song everybody can believe

Good day to you
Uncle tom cat
Out to trick the whole world
You carry a tune for nobody but yourself

Bonjour a toi
Herr policeman
May your boots always fit
Someday you'll find a song you can believe

Good morning good people
The sun is long sailing
The only clouds you see
Are carried within
Soon they'll be blown all away
Wind's gonna rise and blow those clouds away
Wind's gonna rise and blow your blues away
Your sun's gonna shine in my back door some day ...

Truly a mixed bag of music, as conflicted (on the surface) as this morning's weather. Moon River end capped by Fountains Of Wayne on the one side and My Morning Jacket on the other? Genius, really. Hat tip to the iPod shuffle's magic mixology.
