Same Old Lang Syne ~ Dan Fogelberg
Fan tribute to great artist,Musician,singer,songwritter,andso
LYRICS:
Met my old lover in the grocery store
The snow was falling Christmas Eve
I stole behind her in the frozen foods
And I touched her on the sleeve
She didn't recognize the face at first
But then her eyes flew open wide
She went to hug me and she spilled her purse
And we laughed until we cried.
We took her groceries to the checkout stand
The food was totalled up and bagged
We stood there lost in our embarrassment
As the conversation dragged.
We went to have ourselves a drink or two
But couldn't find an open bar
We bought a six-pack at the liquor store
And we drank it in her car.
We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to now
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness
But neither one knew how.
She said she'd married her an architect
Who kept her warm and safe and dry
She would have liked to say she loved the man
But she didn't like to lie.
I said the years had been a friend to her
And that her eyes were still as blue
But in those eyes I wasn't sure if I saw
Doubt or gratitude.
She said she saw me in the record stores
And that I must be doing well
I said the audience was heavenly
But the traveling was hell.
We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to now
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness
But neither one knew how.
We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to time
Reliving in our eloquence
Another 'auld lang syne'...
The beer was empty and our tongues were tired
And running out of things to say
She gave a kiss to me as I got out
And I watched her drive away.
Just for a moment I was back at school
And felt that old familiar pain
And as I turned to make my way back home
The snow turned into rain --

碧潭吊橋 台灣首座鎢鋼球軸承吊橋
已經有76年歷史的碧潭吊橋，至今每逢星期例假日依舊遊客如織！這座興建於民國26年的吊橋，當初是為了方便新店溪兩岸居民通行而興建，後來成為了碧潭風景區的獨特景觀，更是新店區的首要地標。這裡不僅是情侶約會的好地方，也是休閒遊憩的好去處。
碧潭吊橋是由日據時期「文山郡」「新店庄」助役賴雲發起建橋，「台北州」技手江石定設計，陳梅沙先生創辦的光智商會施工，可以說從設計到施工都是台灣人。
而吊橋最特別之處就是橋塔以鎢鋼球軸承創新工法建造，當吊橋晃動時，可以自動調整力量及方向，在當時建築界相當少見。另外有別於一般吊橋的單弧度，碧潭吊橋採雙弧造型，下弧拱起產生張力，使得吊橋更加堅固，過去吊橋上也可行使車輛。
碧潭吊橋是台灣僅存的鎢鋼球軸承吊橋，碰上了都更案，為了保留這古老的珍貴文化資產，OURs專業者都市改革組織於是發起將吊橋列入古蹟保護，協請新北市文化局現地勘察審核。
數十年來，碧潭吊橋承載了無數民眾共同的情感，也正因為如此，才有一連串為碧潭吊情請命的行動。
