This one is kind of complicated to explain…. Let me just say
that I have always found the classic Jaguar to be an ugly car. That was almost a mantra of mine… and it definitely
got a lot of play any time I heard the word Jaguar in reference to the
car. “Jaguar, the ugly car.”
Do you know the Pink Floyd song “Welcome to the Machine”? well it fits the music….., sometimes I sing it..... "He loved to drive his Jaguar. ..It's such an ugly car."
For reasons too complicated to get into I recently started
to think about the Jaguar differently.
(aside: I spend most of my time alone… so I talk to myself….
)
so,... I was sitting in my office
muttering to myself about Jaguar, and changing “ugly car” to “pretty car”,… and
it did become a kind of mantra: “show me a Jaguar -the pretty car”… and I repeated
it.
A lot. Over the course of a couple
of weeks…..
And then…..
One day….
I came out of work….
And walked across the crowded parking lot…..
And my car came into view….
And next to it…

| the jeep liberty is my car,.... |
Considering the state of this life I lead… this seems to be
some kind of grand cosmic joke from the universe to me….. and it just isn’t
funny.
.
But it is ironic…. So….universe,….about that $ ONE $ MILLION $ DOLLARS $$$$$$$$
Thus my new mantra: ……. #onemilliondollarstaxfree
onemilliondollarstaxfree.onemilliondollarstaxfree. onemilliondollarstaxfree.onemilliondollarstaxfree.
onemilliondollarstaxfree.onemilliondollarstaxfree. onemilliondollarstaxfree.onemilliondollarstaxfree.

Welcome to the Machine
Pink Floyd
Welcome my son, welcome to the machine
Where have you been?
It's alright we know where you've been
You've been in the pipeline, filling in time
Provided with toys and 'scouting for boys'
You brought a guitar to punish your ma
And you didn't like school, and you
Know you're nobody's fool
So welcome to the machine
Where have you been?
It's alright we know where you've been
You've been in the pipeline, filling in time
Provided with toys and 'scouting for boys'
You brought a guitar to punish your ma
And you didn't like school, and you
Know you're nobody's fool
So welcome to the machine
Welcome my son,
welcome to the machine
What did you dream?
It's alright we told you what to dream
You dreamed of a big star
He played a mean guitar
He always ate in the Steak Bar
He loved to drive in his Jaguar
So welcome to the machine
What did you dream?
It's alright we told you what to dream
You dreamed of a big star
He played a mean guitar
He always ate in the Steak Bar
He loved to drive in his Jaguar
So welcome to the machine
