I took Stacy to lunch on Wednesday--I was having a lousy day at work, so she suggested we go for a walk in the neighborhood across from the hospital where she works. We came upon this little impatient growing through a crack in the sidewalk; it was perfect, and perfectly out of place. It reminds me that we are where we are supposed to be.

This is my cousin, Roscoe. He has worked for our family's transmission shop since he was about 13, mowing and cleaning up, and now he is a great mechanic. Men in our family (aside from relatively-effeminate me) like to act tough, but they all have great hearts. Roscoe talks all sorts of crap, pretty much non stop, but he would do nearly anything to help other people.

There were a million birds in the sky Monday night outside of Best Buy. They sounded like Swallows, but were too far above me to be visually identified. Seriously, click on the photos below to enlarge them and witness just how many birds were there. And they were that dense from one side of the parking lot to the other!
