‘The Times They Are a-changin’
‘The Times They Are a-Changin’ was written by Bob Dylan and released on his 1964 album of the same name.
I was thinking about the summer when, like middle mouse today, I finished secondary school. I lived in Kildare and that summer, the height of my travelling was trips to Dublin and one holiday in Sligo, with two sisters and an aunt.
In fact when I was growing up, my father always checked the oil and water in the car when he or my mother were setting out on long journeys. Dublin (about 20 miles from home) was considered a long journey so necessitated those checks.
Fast forward to 2009, middle mouse showed me the airports he would travel through in July:
- Budapest Ferihegy (LHBP)
- Dublin (EIDW)
- Madrid Barajas (LEMD)
- Mexico City (MMMX)
- Merida Rejón, Yucatan (MMMD)
- Marseille (LFML)
- Girona (LEGE)
- Shannon (EINN)
- Vancouver (CYVR)
- Boundary Bay (CZBB)
When eldest mouse was home recently, I overheard him say on the phone, ‘I’ll stop by on my way back to San Francisco.’ He did stop by and meet that person. In China.
I’m getting older
The world is getting smaller
The Times They still Are a-changin.

Maybe by the time baby mouse is finished secondary school he will be making a stop over to his pals on the moon!
I remember when Lawlors Hotel in Naas was down the country! As for the Curragh with the sheep wandering all over the road….
Has he considered his carbon footprint?
they sure are, then again your little mousies travel more than most
…Id like to travel to see my friends on the moon!…

Finlay, No is probably the answer but valid point
Lette, they certainly travel more than me
