We were the one thing in the galaxy God didn’t have his eyes on

Have you ever felt nostalgic for a moment that didn’t happen? Or picture something in your head that you wished was a real memory, and not your imagination?

I’m listening to “All Hail West Texas” today, by the Mountain Goats, and the song “Jenny” has me feeling nostalgic for a moment that I never experienced.

I just have a vision of driving across the El Paso desert at sunrise on a motorcycle. One of those old school ones that have a side car.

That’s the image in conjures, and the feeling of freedom, and the crushing vastness of the desert bathed in a warm orange glow.
