Oaf Child

Yesterday, as I was driving past the high school, I dutifully slowed to 20mph as the flashing light instructed, in spite of the fact that we all know school is not in session. But it turns out there were a couple teenagers leaving the building because one of the started to cross the road in front of me, dropped to the ground in my lane, and did a pushup before completing his journey to the other side.

A New New Testament

She says she's going to use this NT to read along while listening to the digital NIV NT that she got for her birthday.

Mr. and Mrs. Red-bellied Wooodpecker

Today I repeatedly saw this male woodpecker break open a sunflower seed and then feed it to his mate. That was sweet, don't you think?

No Good

This giant watermelon cost $6 on sale, but I just couldn't bring myself to drag the rotten and dripping specimen back to the store to get my money back. I guess that is a sign that I'm rich. Or lazy.


The solution to a spring poking through the top of the matteress might be to turn it over. Except when I did that, the other side was worse!
