Hahah...made me LOL: I at first doubted anyone would like the warm smell of Colitas/colitis...because my Lyrictosis had always believed the correct lyric was Boletus refering to the edible Boletus Edulis Mushrooms native to N.America growing in the cool desert night air. So after an internet search I found that the actual word is in fact Colitas and it is supposed to be mexican slang for Little Buds/Marijuana...why folks are smoking pot along a highway at night in the desert is a mystery to me, because it doesn't grow well there...I think the Eagles must have been on shrooms when they wrote that. So after that short digression...Colitas is known to cause digressions and lack of focus after all: Over a California Beach: Edited September 4, 2017 by Captain Coffee 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 Local boy's last entry with a little bit of everything. Dropping into L35 Big Bear in a Malibu Turboprop. There is beach ahead, mountains to the sides, and desert just beyond on all sides. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

mutley 4,487 Posted October 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 Some fantastic shots this month the quality of the entries never fail to impress me! This month's winner is Dodgy Al with this very well thought out picture depicting the verse "On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair" I wonder how many Gypsy Moth's you get to see out at night in the Californian desert? Well done Al 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Well done Al Congrats on a terrific FS Illustration of that stanza...it's a dark image but I image the pilot must be smoking a well shielded pipe to be smelling Colitas up there. Well Won Alan! And Joe, the answer to your question is in the image: Zero...the Moth has no running lights. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
