The truth doesn't have to be pretty, just the truth. Being malnourished isn't always about a lack of food... Lead by example. Other peoples opinion of you is none of your business. You are only as good as your word. Be the change you seek.

Please and Thank You

I dropped Nathan off at school where they were having a controlled burn (really?) right behind the portables, which is right behind the playground, which is right where the busses drop off the kids!  Controlled burns are scary at best, so I can see why they would choose to do it with 1,000 kids close by, 200 of them within mere feet in their classroom....makes total sense...NOT!  I saw kids walking over to get a closer look, and we all know how curious kids are...not the best choice of times to take care of some brush.


After driving home from a prairie fire in the making, I happened upon a construction site.  They are widening a very well traveled, busy road (YEAH by the way).  They have lowered the speed limit on this road, so we were a tad backed up and I had time to check out what they were doing.  My eyes went to the group of men talking and pointing and then I saw two guys standing off to the side a bit.  Well apparently that was the itch and scratchy section of the work crew.  Right there on the side of the road workman 1 is adjusting his boys (via the outside of his jeans) and taking a long time to make sure they are comfy and workman 2 is taking notes and decides that his boys could be a little more comfy as well, so he decides to adjust them from the inside of his pants (more of a hands on approach, if you will).  I guess they need a little more TLC.


I turn into my development and there is a dog doing his morning business right at the corner where I turn next.  I can handle this, I am far enough away that he should be done by the time I get there (how I figured this, I don't know).  I round the corner and the dog is happily wagging his tail and a job well done.  I must first commend the pet owner for being responsible and picking up after his dog, I however ask that when bending over doing so, to either have a robe that closes, and/or wear pants!!  Please and Thank You!
