Perponderance of the Evidence


I'm sitting in front of my computer tapping away at the keyboard once again. My window is open and I feel the cool morning breeze. The sun is still asleep so I only see darkness outside my window. The birds are chirping like that clock my former boss owned, quite annoying coming from a clock but peaceful coming from the real thing.

My neighbors American flag is lit up looking like a red white and blue Christmas tree and the spotlight shines right up the flagpole. It's another peaceful moment to begin the day with. Every minute the sky gets a little lighter as somewhere out there the sun wants to roll out of slumber and splash us awake with shards of gold.

Today is the last day of the work week as Friday is a day off. Oh, the wonder and the glory of a day off. The day off is a leftover allotted hurricane day that was never used - thank goodness. Hurricane season is just around the bend and that is distressing, but not quite as distressing as all the media hype about the swine flu. Enough already - I understand. Wash my hands, use sanitizer, don't travel and don't come in close contact with strangers.

My plans for the Orlando Disney trip is starting to cause me worry. Should I go? Should I stay home and wash my hands non-stop? I could sit here by my window tapping away at my keyboard and have some crazy Florida driver round the bend a little too fast and plow right into my home and run me over. So what are my odds at catching the swine flu compared to getting run over by crazy Florida drivers? Whoa - I had better get away from my window.

The sun still slumbers. Where is my morning greeting?

Spring Fever


I'm sitting here in front of my computer tapping away at the keyboard with a cool breeze blowing in my open window and I raise my eyes to look up and out the window toward the east and I see the orange and blue sky painted like a genuine masterpiece right before my eyes and realize it is going to be a fantabulous day here in Florida and at work and this evening when I go for my nightly dog walk and feel the gulf breeze against my face and contemplate all I have to be thankful for.


1. a computer

2. a window with a view

3. a window that opens

4. a window with a screen

5. coffee with cream

6. a job

7. a great family

8. a pool almost fixed

9. a wonderful spouse

10. a spouse that cooks

Harley Davidson and the WAVE

Hubby and I were walking the dog early this morning down a some what busy street. We were just walking along minding our own business picking up the dog doo (that's hubbies job:)) and enjoying the beautiful spring day. When all of a sudden buzzing down the road on a big Harley Davidson came this biker dude. I like the noise they make. They had a helmet on so I couldn't see him or her very well. And then, it happened!!! He or she gave us the 'WAVE', the Harley Davidson biker 'WAVE'. I was so excited and felt special to receive the 'WAVE', I nearly dropped the dog leash.
I've seen the wave before while traveling down the highways. It seems reserved for other bikers, especially Harley Davidson bikers. So that is why I was so thrilled to receive the 'WAVE'. And we were walking not even riding a bicycle. Maybe he was doing the 'WAVE' at the dog. My first 'WAVE' and I will cherish the moment forever - or at least till something else tickles my fancy - which isn't too difficult.

Processed

A woman from South Carolina has a toasted cheese sandwich that she says has the image of Jesus on it. I'm wondering if she was too close to the fires that are raging in Myrtle Beach? She tried to sell the image on ebay but that was a bust. Bust of Jesus on the toast....HA.
So if this miraculous toasted cheese sandwich really has the image of Jesus on it why in the hull would you sell it? If this is so special and so miraculous one would think she would cherish it but no - sell - sell -sell. That's the spirit! Maybe the toasted cheese sandwich can tour the world with the shroud of Turin.
Times are hard and money is tight so I guess to make a quick buck someone would try to sell this holy toasted cheeses sandwich. The woman now keeps the sandwich in a plastic container in her bedroom. Perhaps it is a shrine? But won't it mold and attract ants and roaches? If it was in my house the dog would grab the container run outside rip off the top and devour the toasted cheese sandwich and never give a thought to the image of Jesus.
