The phone ringing at 5:00 am woke me up. My daughter was freaking out because we had some severe thunderstorms and her power went out. So she had no way to know if there were tornado warnings going on or not. I turned on the local news and saw that it was just a storm blowing over and promised to call her back if I heard anything worse headed her way.
Of course, I can’t go back to sleep after all of that. So I’m, up, tired and cranky. Happy freaking Tuesday, people.

Running errands at lunch and had to stop to get gas. The convenience store had a sign on the window advertising a special deal on their deli foods. They were selling two hotdogs, a bag of chips and a large cold drink for $1.99 – that is hard to beat. I don’t usually get a hot dog for lunch, but at that price and since I was there and hungry at the time, that’s what I bought. Pretty good hot dogs, at that!

Have you ever considered the coincidence that on this day in history, the Confederates opened fire on Ft. Sumpter and effectively started the War Between the States? And that also on this day in history Martin Luther King Jr was shot by a crazy man which effectively made him a Martyr?
I think that MLK giving his life to civil rights and peaceful demonstrations was his destiny and purpose, which was completely dishonored the very next day with riots and violence. That although it was a pivotal moment for the American Civil Rights movement, the common people who benefited from his work did not even understand his basic message.

The best part of this photo is the way the light comes across the cowgirl. The second best part is that you don’t see much of her face, so in your mind’s eye she could be just about anyone you want her to be. I want to take this photo and make it into a painting, in the Van Gogh style. I might even have photo editing software that will do that. I’ll have to check on that and see if it works like I have it pictured in my mind.

Last night we switched to Daylight Savings Time again. That means that when it should have been 8:00 am this morning, it became 9:00 am. So if I needed to be somewhere at 10:00 am I had to either change my clocks before falling asleep, so I had to change my alarm to wake me up an hour earlier. Either way, I lost an hour of sleep last night and now I’m late.
