I wonder if Outdoor Miner figured out a way to work the next few posts into this storyline?

I could, but those posts are now so far back that my post wouldn't count towards killing this thread per the rules.
It's your loss. My storyline was killer.

WELL WE KNOW WHERE WE'RE GOIN' BUT WE DON'T KNOW WHERE WE'VE BEEN AND WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE KNOWIN' BUT WE CAN'T SAY WHAT WE'VE SEEN AND WE'RE NOT LITTLE CHILDREN AND WE KNOW WHAT WE WANT AND THE FUTURE IS CERTAIN GIVE US TIME TO WORK IT OUT
We're on a road to nowhere Come on inside Takin' that ride to nowhere We'll take that ride
Feelin' okay this mornin' And you know, We're on the road to paradise Here we go, here we go
We're on a ride to nowhere Come on inside Takin' that ride to nowhere We'll take that ride
Maybe you wonder where you are I don't care Here is where time is on our side Take you there...take you there
We're on a road to nowhere We're on a road to nowhere We're on a road to nowhere
There's a city in my mind Come along and take that ride and it's all right, baby, it's all right
And it's very far away But it's growing day by day And it's all right, baby, it's all right
Would you like to come along and you could help me sing this song? And it's all right, baby, it's all right
They can tell you what to do But they'll make a fool of you And it's all right, baby, it's all right And it's all right, baby, it's all right

I could never decide in the Eighties whether I wanted to be Tina Weymouth or Joan Armatrading. In retrospect, I'd go with Tina. Because I'm shy and would rather stand back from the edge of the stage.

I have a bittersweet feeling about the '80s. I was a teenager then and I didn't much like being a teenager. On the other hand, it was a great time to be a teenager in many respects.
Oh, well.

I have similar sentiments. But 80s music, even the crappier stuff, can evoke nostalgia for the good aspects (however few there seemed at the time)

Hey, we had bad presidents in Ecuador, too, especially from 1984 to 1988, when a right-wing blowhard named Leon Febres Cordero was president, but I still have many fond memories of the 80s. Then again, those were my grade school and junior high years, before the full horror of adulthood reared its ugly head.

if you didn't have a right-wing blowhard president back then, Reagan'd have given you "freedom fighters" and a brutal civil war. you got off lucky.

True. Even at that young an age, I was aware of the terrible things going on in Central America at the time.
But the Febres Cordero era negatively affected day-to-day life for Ecuadorians. My first few years in Ecuador, 1977-1983, were considerably happier than the last few, 1984-1990.

The Galapagos Islands are the northernmost place to which penguins are indigenous. It figures I'd know that.
