Mile 147.1 – Another day

“And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgement of all wrong…..

And the world looks just the same
And history ain’t changed
Cause the banners, they are flown in the next war….

There’s nothing in the streets
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Are now parting on the right…..

Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss”

- The prophetic Pete Townshend

July 22, 2009 – A total solar eclipse took place today over parts of Asia. The eclipse lasted 6 minutes and 39 seconds in some areas and is predicted to be the longest solar eclipse of the 21st century. An eclipse as long as the one experienced today is not projected to take place until 2132. Long after we are all dead.
