Sad to say I don’t remember the year but it had less than 30k on the clock. Not my style but you just had to love it. Pearl white and cream and she was gorgeous. Pilot was a great guy. He cared about people and was giving his all. Maybe someday we’ll have more time to chat.
continue to drive by this little guy and not stop to help him out? Very little effort would mean the world to him.

I’ve always admired this man. From selling music out of trunk of his car to who he is today.
I don’t much care for his food and he feels no different about my choice of beverage.
Good thing because neither of us is too keen on sharing. =)
I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member.

Some of my finest memories in life are those of my friends. People I knew years ago that taught me things I’d carry through life. All those friends I’ve not kept in touch with but through personal memories.
Odd maybe, but once in a blue moon everything just seems to come together all at just the right time. Yesterday at this time I was laying awake wondering what was happening and why. Today things are running like a well tuned Merlin. Isn’t it wonderful the changes that can happen in just one day.
You see, because of the family and people I was surrounded by when I was young I got to understand the importance of things. Not the 3 R’s but things far more important.
But not nearly enough free time or free mind. A roadtrip would be cool!
Evening lakeside.
… stopped by to say hi. Opened up the shed door and there she was. A Ring Neck snake. Little timid at first but she calmed down quickly.
Wished her luck and let her go to do her thing.
Ringneck Snake
A farmer had some puppies he needed to sell. He painted a sign advertising the 4 pups and set about nailing it to a post on the edge of his yard. As he was driving the last nail into the post, he felt a tug on his overalls. He looked down into the eyes of a little boy.
“Mister,” he said, “I want to buy one of your puppies.”
“Well,” said the farmer, as he rubbed the sweat off the back of his neck, “These puppies come from fine parents and cost a good deal of money.”
The boy dropped his head for a moment. Then reaching deep into his pocket, he pulled out a handful of change and held it up to the farmer.
“I’ve got thirty-nine cents. Is that enough to take a look?”
“Sure,” said the farmer. And with that he let out a whistle. “Here, Dolly!” he called.
Out from the doghouse and down the ramp ran Dolly followed by four little balls of fur. The little boy pressed his face against the chain link fence. His eyes danced with delight. As the dogs made their way to the fence, the little boy noticed something else stirring inside the doghouse.
Slowly another little ball appeared, this one noticeably smaller. Down the ramp it slid. Then in a somewhat awkward manner, the little pup began hobbling toward the others, doing its best to catch up…
“I want that one,” the little boy said, pointing to the runt.
The farmer knelt down at the boy’s side and said, “Son, you don’t want that puppy. He will never be able to run and play with you like these other dogs would.”
With that the little boy stepped back from the fence, reached down, and began rolling up one leg of his trousers. In doing so he revealed a steel brace running down both sides of his leg attaching itself to a specially made shoe. Looking back up at the farmer, he said, “You see sir, I don’t run too well myself, and he will need someone who understands.”
With tears in his eyes, the farmer reached down and picked up the little pup. Holding it carefully he handed it to the little boy.
“How much?” asked the little boy…
“No charge,” answered the farmer, “There’s no charge for love.”

Riding one of my Thumpers the other day
And I came across this lizard warming himself up on the road. He was nearly 6 foot I’d guess and wasn’t too keen on getting told to leave.
