Grit in the Gears

I am the grit in the gears, the missing bolt, I am the poker of sticks into spokes. I like to know how things work, but sometimes when I take them apart and rebuild them, I have a few pieces left over. I am a man, so I tend to leave reading the instructions until after it goes wrong. And like all men I have a comprehensive mental map of the world and never need to ask directions. I never get lost, only sometimes I'm late, or end up in the wrong place entirely. It's what we do.

Earlier This Year,

The Red Dirt Girl and I went to the Natural History Museum in Houston to see the Terracotta Warriors exhibition. In the evening, we were booked into The Planetarium to see the Led Zeppelin laser-show, sound and light, projected in 3D, seemingly all around.

Nowhere on the interwebs can I find the opening sequence, a sci-fi zeppelin, light-oars waving like an intergalactic galley, moving slowly through the space above us, toward a fantasy horizon.
Some of the later part of the show's on Youtube, so here it is.

If you like Led Zepp, and this comes to anywhere near you, take your sweetheart and swoop through mystic worlds. You won't be disappointed.
