. . . And you're thinking about clouds the color of fire

And the scent of an orange peel

The way Mt. Shasta explodes into windshield view

And your hands steady on the wheel . . .

When I was a kid I thought that there were mountains named after all the soda pop because of Mount Shasta. Mount Pepsi, Mount Coke, Mount Dr. Pepper.

Sometimes I miss being a kid.

I miss it all the time what are you talking about. Remember how you slept when you where 10.

I used to ski Mt Lassen (right next to Shasta) when I was a kid, it's beautiful country.

Loni Anderson of WKRP hangs at the ski lodge there. She is still pretty good looking for, I would guess, 60 years old by now. Great place to go with the youngsters too. Great ski school and not the hustle and bustle of Tahoe.
