First one heading to work...JAMMED, seems they always like to repair
pot holes during rush hour. The Beatles saved me...morning Beatle
show..singing along throughout the crawl.

Arrive at the job site.....a crematorium where I am decorating/
painting a new chapel. Located through two doors are three of the
ovens used to "process" the departed. I put my radio on...Beatles
playing again and noticed through these two doors a traffic jam of a
different sort... Coffins all sitting there in a line (there were
three) very similar to the traffic snarl I went through getting here.
Over the roar of the ovens (2,000 degrees, I was told) The Beatles
played their merry tunes.

I don't think I'll bitch and moan anymore. It was GOOD to be in the
first traffic snafu, considering the second possibilty I witnessed.

Thanks Beatles...you got me through two "jams".

Imagine if Michelangelo got to listen to I am the Walrus while
painting his chapel. The results might have turned out a bit
different. Just teasing. I am glad that you were able to enjoy some
wonderful music during those two jams. It is amazing isn't it how
music can shape our moods? We can all sit in a traffic tie up,
cursing and getting impatient, or we can turn it around and say "gee
this is great, I have 20 minutes to have some privacy, listen to the
music I like, relax and even do a little singing without sounding
silly. (well at least the way I sing, I tend to sound silly but when I
am alone in my car who cares?) Music can lift our moods, and allow us
to get a different perspective on a situation.

Oh, yes, quite a tragic image. I know it is tough but try to get
that image out of your mind. It is a sad image to focus on all day
today and hopefully you are done with that job and will get to paint a
kindergarten class or daycare next. I hope you have a great day
