Upon that night, when fairies light
On Cassilis Downans dance,
Or owre the lays, in splendid blaze,
On sprightly coursers prance;
Or for Colean the rout is ta'en,
Beneath the moon's pale beams;
There, up the Cove,to stray an' rove,
Amang the rocks and streams
To sport that night!

On this day, 23 years ago...246 people went to sleep in preparation for their morning flights. 2,606 people went to sleep in preparation for work in the morning. 343 FDNY firefighters went to sleep in preparation for their morning shift. 60 police officers (23 NYPD and 37 PAPD) went to sleep in preparation for their morning patrol. 8 paramedics went to sleep in preparation for their morning shift. Not a single one of them saw past 10:00am on September 11, 2001.
For some reason this ballad from Billy Idol hits the chords in my heart. For a few reasons.
It also happens to be the title of his 2014 album of the same name.
He has always been a bit of an Idol for me from early on in his days of being in Generation X forward.

Ever wish you could just walk around all day everyday with a proper wildlife camera? Yeah, me too. But instead, I have to use my lousy iPhone camera for a pic like this.😑
Dogs, Birds, Dogbirds, Trains, Automobiles, Bikes, Music, Technology. Not necessarily in that order nor everything. I'm a complex, multifaceted wip. ;)
