According to my journal, it was the last album I bought at the BX in Rantoul. We packed up and moved 1636 miles southwest two weeks later. During our drive South, we swung over and hot Disney World and then came back west through New Orleans where I bought an album (Kiss's <a href="http://open.spotify.com/album/4FA68GsblSfvKZZRfM1tI1" rel="nofollow"><b>Dynasty</b></a>) and a 45 (KC and the Sunshine Band's double A sided single <a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/5WvVkPBsbFFk2AIvPjGlsY" rel="nofollow">"I'm Your Boogie Man"</a> b/w <a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/1Yxsm9n483bp3R5awbDFdN" rel="nofollow">"Wrap Your Arms Around Me"</a>) and spent the rest of the trip paranoid that they were gonna warp or break in the hot and stuffed car. They made the trip fine though.<br /><br />We get to Tucson, have to spend five weeks living out of a tent in a campground just outside city limits in the late Summer heat while all of our stuff is in storage and I find a radio station I like and <a href="http://open.spotify.com/track/6nZdPmZoeIDtqG8AwJlWNe" rel="nofollow">"Fire And Ice"</a> is in heavy rotation. By the time we got into our house on the Base, <a href="http://open.spotify.com/track/7Ba92R4Hk1CjVNqnepfvZa" rel="nofollow">"Promises In The Dark"</a> was getting significant airplay on the local rock station. Those are still my favorite two songs from <a href="http://open.spotify.com/album/6IDrephPahXFn0DT3I851H" rel="nofollow"><b>Precious Time</b>.</a><br /><br />Which reminds me, in just a few weeks it will offically be my 35th Anniversary here in the Sonoran Desert with the last 16 of those years here at The Hideaway.HERChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00361888365133381438noreply@blogger.com
