Colorful Phrasing

I got thinking about a song by John Denver. It's off his 1972 album Rocky Mountain High and it's part of the Season Suite called Fall. I just love the colorful phrasing that he uses.

Reflections in the water like shadows in my mind
Speak to me of passing days and nights and passing time
The falling leaves are whispering, winter's on its way
I close my eyes remembering the warmth of yesterday

It seems a shame to see September swallowed by the wind
And more than that it's oh so sad to see the summer end
And though the changing colors are a lovely thing to see
If it were mine to make the change I think I'd let it be

But I don't remember hearing anybody asking me

United's new 787 Dreamliner

I'm really excited about this new airplane. It's revolutionary in many ways. An all carbon fiber structure requires a whole new mindset in how to build airplanes. It'll be 20% more fuel efficient than a 767, has larger windows, the cabin will have more humidity and be pressurized to an atmosphere equal to about 4000 feet making it a lot more comfortable to fly in.

Another reason I'm so excited is that my good friend and brother-from-another-mother, Shane Windham is working for Boeing in Charleston, South Carolina and will be building these airplanes. VERY COOL!!!
