We sat in the Shell station for quite some time, neither of us wanting to get out of our car. I knew we weren't done with the mountain terrain just yet, but I needed this break. I needed this time to just close my eyes.
I bought Mickey some aspirin for her headache and told her we'd take it slow. I gassed up both cars, grabbed some apple juice, cleared the windshield and started the U-Haul once again.
Don't laugh, but my iPOD and I have this connection. Yes, it is very possible to have a human like connection with an electronic device. I do my part in filling his brain with the music that fits my personality. He does his part by playing the music on command. It's a wonderful relationship that I treasure everyday. Sometimes when I let him DJ, I really believe he's paying attention to how I'm feeling. It's almost as if the ear buds give him access to my brain waves and emotions, and he takes those brain signals to shuffle in the perfect song.
War "All Day Music" // All Day Music (1971)
It was amazing how the sight of the sun rising and this song helped make the second half of the mountains so much easier to deal with. The snow had come to a stop and the roads were free of any major traffic. Mickey took her spot behind me and snapped these images with her camera phone.
