Once again, another day where I briefly debated going out. The tipper this morning was thinking back to the fat Apollo from the remake Battlestar Galactica being told "You lost your war, Lee. And the truth is, you're a soldier who needs a war." Since I saw some unpleasant parallels between Fat Apollo and myself, I rolled out.
And so it was. Going light on snivel gear (and maybe going a lot easier yesterday) made for what felt like a brisk run, even if the clock doesn't say so. Certainly more so than the last few days.
The tie between Angst and Hüsker Dü was from an old SST compilation called The Blasting Concept, Volume 2, which I recall from 21 years ago. The 173rd ballad...well, that has more immediacy. That, and it has a desperate quality (reflective of the circumstances that bred it) that the earlier version doesn't have.
Another cautionary note from the same episode: "These are things you just don't do, Colonel, not even in war."
