Geez... so, I guess I am becoming a once a month blogger.

In the midst of end of the year testing at school and the whole fatherhood thing, I have neglected my blog. It's not as if a lot of people read this, so I guess in the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter.

I have a couple of pictures to show you, with a few more to follow soon (these were taken with my cellphone, so if the image quality is sub par, I'm sorry):

This first pic was taken on the hottest day of the year, thus far. I pulled up to a stoplight with my air conditioner going full blast because it was 95 degrees and the humidity was approaching 100% (sticky and uncomfortable), looked to my left and felt immediate pity for these two poor Chik-Fil-A employees (more so for the person in the cow costume, obviously). It was their turn to go out to the roadside and wave to cars driving past. I wonder what they did to deserve this?

File this under the "Here's something you don't see everyday" heading. This is certainly not the most outlandish thing that I have ever seen, but approaching the truck, I thought there was a really large dog riding in the back. My thoughts slowly turned to "What the hell is that?" as I got closer and realized that the thing in the back was not very dog-like in stature. Then I realized it was a stuffed bear. Obviously, this guy was so proud of the bear he had hunted down that he visited a taxidermist and paid big money to have it preserved... but what do you do with a giant stuffed bear? Does it ride in the back of his truck all the time? Is this guy a millionaire with a giant home that has a room dedicated solely to preserved animals that he hunted down (a trophy room if you will)? My other question, of course, is did he name it? May I suggest Yogi or Smokey?

I don't like hot coffee in the summertime, so I drink it iced when the temperature hit 75 degrees until fall. One morning last week, I was going through my normal getting ready for work routine, and as I was stepping out the door, I looked down and noticed that my coffee was smiling at me. So, I snapped a picture. I wish I had a story to tell about how this was a good omen for the rest of the day and I played the lottery and won that night, but I don't.
