there's a long line of cars and they're trying to break free


i debated using this one for this month's theme day, but i think i like my palm trees with clouds more. this was taken from the los robles overpass looking down on the 210. almost the same location where this image was taken.

bonus points for those readers who know where the title of this post comes from.

    Heck, this question is a piece of CAKE!!!

    :-)

    Very cool shot. ("from the streets of Sacramento, to the freeways of LA, we've got to keep this fire burning, and accept a little grey...")

    Laurie, well done! You win bonus points in my book!

    And PA, you are also correct - although not with the same flair that Laurie answered.

    For those who are still in the dark, here are some details about the album that today's title is taken from - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comfort_Eagle

    Accept a little grey? Reminds me of this song by Susan Werner:

    SHADE OF GREY
    From: New Non-Fiction (2001)
    Copyright © Susan Werner

    God forbid you ever mention that you're looking for love
    Mention it to anyone
    And you'll be gettin' more advice than you could ever dream of
    Cheap advice, ain't it fun
    Hey, let everybody have their say
    And at the end of the day
    All you really get's another shade of grey

    And everybody's gonna tell you 'xactly what you oughta do
    If you're thinking 'bout a family
    Have a baby, don't have any, really gotta have two
    If you wanna live happily
    Hey, let everybody have their say
    And at the end of the day
    All you really get's another shade of grey
    And time just ticks away
    With the whole world holding sway
    While the sun goes down on one more twenty-four hours and

    Everybody yippin' yappin' in the interview chair
    Hawking their philosophy
    Be a Christian, be a Buddhist, be a billionaire
    Be like me, can't you see
    Hey, let everybody have their say
    And at the end of the day
    All you really get's another shade of grey
    So get up and walk away
    Walk away

    So don't tell me the answers
    I'd rather learn them for myself
    And don't sell me your answers
    Put your book back on the shelf
    With the new non-fiction and

    When everybody's making weather in your overworked brain
    Drizzlin' on your picnic
    Just take a step in one direction and you're out of the rain
    And your road's yellow brick
    And hey you're off to see

    Hey, let everybody have their say
    And at the end of the day
    At the end of the day
    At the end of the day
    All you really get's another shade of
    Grey
