At a gas station yesterday in western PA north of Pittsburgh...

I heard David Bowie's all-but-forgotten song Black Country Rock over the store's speaker system. I have literally never heard that song anywhere except when I've decided to play it.

It was followed by The Cranberries' Dreams.


Go figure.

I go to Warrendale four or five nights a week for my trucking gig. I've been in Pittsburgh before and have done a little sight seeing. I like it there.

The rural areas (where I live) are a bit too Trumpy at times, but I like the region overall.

This was at the Sheetz on 228 in Cranberry.

The Mistake by the Lake.
Moved away 45 years ago but I love to visit the relatives there.

But it was late at night. I think maybe the swing shift decided to get rid of the standard canned music while they were stocking the shelves.
