Small World

Every morning on my drive to work, I pass an air conditioning work truck. I'll call it "Bob's Air Conditioning". I used to go out with "Bob's" brother. I've been out lobster diving on "Bob's" boat. Not that I would recognize "Bob" if I ran into him, it's the truck I recognized. Small world...

I was just thinking how many people we pass every single day that we may have dated at one time, or went to school with, or may even be related to and we don't even realize it. I was talking to a friend of mine last night and found out he went to school with a relative of mine. I don't even know the cousin of mine he's talking about, but I do know from the last name that we definitely are realted. Small world...

Little things like that seem to be happening more and more to me lately. "Small world" is so true! Just keep in your head that the person you just cut off or gave the finger to, may be a long lost cousin. That Maserati that flew by you doing at least 85mph on the turnpike, may have been driven by an ex-boyfriend. You just never know. So be nice to people and try to do the Golden Rule ~ Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

You just never know!

I noticed a couple weeks ago that besides myself, there is only one other house in my entire neighborhood that flies our country's flag in their yard. Frigging amazing! At least 100 houses and only 2 that show any patriotism. Is it because 98% of my neighbors are not from this country? Does a flagpole just not match the decor of their McMansion? What is the deal???

One of my goals now is to put up a tall flagpole, buy the biggest flag I can afford (why are our flags so darn expensive?) and put a spotlight on it so it stays lit all night, as it should. Right now I have my flag on a small pole extending from the wall of my house by my front door. It's nice, but now I want something bigger. Something that says "I'm American and Proud of it!". I have a feeling it would actually piss of some of my neighbors. Yup. Do I care? Nope. Love it or leave it people!

Rain, Rain, and more Rain

Yup. It's raining here. I can't complain, though, because we really need it. Lake Okeechobee is still way below it's normal level. I just hope some of the rain we're getting down here is making it's way up there, too!

I have been slacking terribly with this blog lately. It is shameful. It seems the only time I've been posting is on Mondays! I promise to get better. Tomorrow I'm going to a geo-event in Coral Gables, so I should have lots of pics to post and a story or two to tell.

Did anybody see that new show the other night..."Pushing Daisies" or "Pushing Up Daisies"? It cracked me up! Kind of bizarre, definitely different, and I suppose not for everyone, but I loved it!!

Well off to work I go... expect more from me this weekend :)
