Gimme Shelter

long ago I hated the stones then before long grew up ran gauntlet after gauntlet till one day I wore the leather jacket they said I would look good in...grow your hair and beard.... gave me skinny jeans I picked up a wallet chain and sunglasses I mountian bike and grit from the sidewalks and road even at first gear chopper speed Mountian bike speed no front fender U get bugs...dirt insects..thus the dark shades....Its not just too look cool and cold air too .. I was working.. had just finished at a top end military installation slinging fibre optics I was up a pole the stainless cable lasher I was transferring when the eclipse right around here happened Darkness overhead.. streetlights came on at the horizon nothing but light...as if a dusk or dawn was three sixty all about while cold of night decended and street lights powered up... I loved it...I can see why It scared the **** out of the ignorant many will do what they want in guadratic configurations and it will suprise U
