The winds blew, dust and sand were kicked up, occasional dark clouds rolled across the sky, but no rain found its way to the earth of Phoenix, Arizona.
Indian Veggies
I was busy today with photography for my other site, HappyBumbleBee, so an image from that work will have to stand in for today’s photo. From the top left you are looking at Dhudhi (Bottle Gourd), Bitter Melon, Taro Root, below the Taro going left is Okra, Baby Eggplant, Thai Green Chili, Tindora, and making our way around the bottom to the right is Ginger, Sinqua, and more Ginger.
Gross
This is the grossest ugliest photo of the day I have ever posted on my blog. You are looking at a freeway underpass support column that is covered with goobers. I can only imagine that this is the work of men, sitting at the stoplight with nothing better to do than clear their throat, suck some snot outta their noses and unleash this torrent of phlegm. Maybe women putting on makeup in their cars aren’t so bad after all.
Shave and a Haircut
Our dreadlock queen with hair so long and thick she likes sharing a gack of it on the carpet quite regularly is finishing with her deluxe spa treatment. Looking at her, bright and shiny with her head and paws coiffed to Paris Hilton finery, Caroline and I laugh out loud, hearing Murphy meow: “I am puss in boots.”
Can You See the Rain Clouds?
While a beautiful blue sky is nothing to take for granted and the little pink clouds only add to the nice view – we need rain. Up north, no snow this season has killed the skiing business. After nearly 11 years of living in the desert, I would like to move someplace where moisture has a presence.
Put Down The Knife!
Outside my window, I hear a voice of authority telling someone to ‘put down the knife, and the other one’. For a moment I was certain this young man was going to meet the Tazer as he challenged the officers with the classic ‘what’d I do?’ The officers had to request multiple times that he drop the weapon. Without further incidence and no one getting hurt, the guy is handcuffed, searched, and ultimately let go.
