Just in case you missed one of the previously posted Facebook stati (or should it be statuses? I think I like stati better), I thought I would share this one with you. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. And it got better and better from the first I saw it, all the way to my first traffic jam on IH-35 going in to town. Traffic in this area is totally out of control. There have been almost 90 traffic deaths in central Texas (Austin) this year, and there were two or three more just today. INSANE I tell you, insane. There is hardly a time of day that you cannot expect to be held up (yes, robbed) in traffic. The only redeeming factor in all that congestion and delay is that when you are not moving, you can check your e-mail, check your Facebook page, make a move on Words with Friends, or compose the next chapter of the novel you had been putting off until you found the right time and inspiration (perspiration?).Whatever. While you are stopped in traffic you can pay attention to all the things around you, like to women applying make up, the man in the silver Hyundai with the Kleenex compression packet hanging out of his nose (that was yesterday, no time for a photo), or the various pieces of furniture and bedding that has flown out of the back of pickup trucks (a result of poor attendance at the high school physics class). Between the edge of nowhere and the office, we could furnish a three bedroom apartment, assuming we had the money to buy that much Old English Polish.
Deeds, Actions, Changes, SUNRISES, Kindnesses, Whirled Peas, FUN!
