. . . and all the same I've lost myself and walked along the land. These steady steps, I fear them so, as I long for leaping decks and the ocean's unholy hands. Where one horison leads to another, and the end you can not tell. But alas, it's here I sit amognst the trees, and from my dreams dispelled.
It's days like these that I wonder, "How in the hell am I getting paid for this?"
Since starting work on the CNAS Natural Security Blog I've since created two brand new features for the blog. First was an idea to combine my nerdy obsession with the History Channel and my job, where I read war manuals, and relate their natural security components to contemporary and present engagements. I called the feature (Field) Manual Sift, a lame play on the term manual shift. This new feature is the Song of the Week, where I put together a playlist of songs that I both like, and can relate to natural security.
This first one brings me back to the days of playing a Goodyear cassette tape in my 2-XL, watching the red light bulb mimic the singers voice (not the point of the device mind you, but hey, when the hell did I ever do things the normal way?). I give you the inagural post of my second new Natural Security Blog feature Song of the Week: Convoy by C.W. McCall. Enjoy.
*My second post in one day, holy shit, surprised even me!

That Goodyear cassette was Goodyear-Sweden's "Truckin' Music" performed by local artist. The songs were sung in English, but the artists had distinctly Swedeish accents. A great early introduction to the world at large.
Heehee--I'd forgotten all about that tape! It's a little like ABBA meets the "git 'er done" guy!
