Wow, we could not have asked for a nicer day and after all the rain. Now I have been away for a few days, getting my "city" fix and gotta tell ya, it was rainy in the city too.
Yes, I had a lovely time and it's always a good visit when I can hang with my sister and swap stories and just roar with giggles over childhood memories, half of which neither us will confirm as truly happening or totally remembered but still we find them entertaining.
Anyway, as it was so nice this morning I was more than happy to extend my walk and make it last as long as possible. I mean, I did have other chores and errands to run but for some reason walking and enjoying the morning air was just perfect. What is not perfect and is really pissing me off is the idea some clowns have that the Norwood Boat Launch is their personal dump area. I mean, they are bringing bags of trash and tossing them into the wooded area.
If I had had my wits about me and even thought this was gonna happen, I would have (1) stood there and watched the water vs hiking the path and/or (2) took a photo of the truck and license plate just in case they did toss those trash bags into the woods. Instead I hiked the path, and while on it, and outta sight, they tossed the bags and left -- sneaky asswipes! I'm gonna say this again and again, all of us have to stop this from happening or we're gonna find more and more areas off limits, unsafe and totally useless to us because the diseases and smell such acts cause. We need to stop this behavior and the best way to do that is to take names and kick ass!(hey, even writing down the plate number is sufficient to get legal action...littering is against the law people --).
Sorry for the rant, but I'll rant about this every time it happens and now, I shall start writing down and/or snapping license plates because I am sick of such ignorant, lazy behavior and I happen to think Norwood is a nice place to live and I don't want to see slobs messing up the town!

An atheist was walking through the woods. 'What majestic trees! What powerful rivers! What beautiful animals,” he said to himself.As he was walking alongside the river, he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him. He turned to look.
He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him.
He ran as fast as he could up the path. He looked over his shoulder
& saw that the bear was closing in on him...He looked over his shoulder again, & the bear was even closer. He tripped & fell on the ground.He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear was right on top of him, reaching for him with his left paw & raising his right paw to strike him.
At that instant the atheist cried out, 'Oh my God!'
Time Stopped. The bear froze.The forest was silent.
As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky. 'You deny my existence for all these years, teach others I don't exist and even credit creation to cosmic accident.' 'Do you expect me to help you out of this predicament? Am I to count you as a believer?'
The atheist looked directly into the light, 'It would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask you to treat me as a Christian now, but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christian'?
'Very well,' said the voice.The light went out.
The sounds of the forest resumed...
And the bear dropped his right paw, brought both paws together, bowed his head & spoke: 'Lord bless this food which I am about to receive from thy bounty through Christ our Lord, Amen.'
