67 years ago today, ‘Take Five’ by Dave Brubeck Quartet was released as a single.
It went on to become the best-selling jazz single of the 20th century.
When Dolly Parton approached Robert Plant for permission to record her version of “Stairway to Heaven,” she reportedly worried about how he would react. Instead, Plant’s response was wonderfully simple: “Of course you can, you’re Dolly Parton.”
And somehow, that feels like the perfect answer. Dolly didn’t try to copy Led Zeppelin — she took one of rock’s most iconic songs and made it unmistakably her own, adding a touch of country, gospel, and her unmistakable voice.
Sometimes, a legend recognizing another legend is all the permission you need.
Tonight over Gorman. 🌅
The last light of the day put on quite a show — sun rays stretching across the sky like the spokes of a giant Ferris wheel, while the clouds along the horizon began to look like a river flowing through the mountains.
I love what light does to the world. 🩷

“Hi, my name is Katie, and I recently attempted to travel northbound on I-5.”
Group: “Hi, Katie.” 😂😂😂
Therapist: “And what do we do when Google Maps suggests the Grapevine?”
Everyone: “WE STAY HOME.” 😂🚗❌
After the construction, hours-long backups, vehicle fires, big-rig wrecks, cranes, wreckers, overheating cars and general freeway shenanigans, people probably saw a clear road yesterday and thought IT’S A TRAP. 😂😂😂
Which means we may get our CaLandBird post sooner than expected:
🚨 BREAKING: I-5 IS MOVING.
Residents refuse to believe it. 😂👊🌲🩷
If you’re heading through the Grapevine, check Caltrans QuickMap before you go for current traffic conditions, closures, lane restrictions and traffic cameras.
