Just starting to see some light in the sky here so almost time to walk the hound.

The light in the window is a crack in the sky
A stairway to darkness in the blink of an eye
A levee of tears to learn she'll never be coming back

Or maybe not so ominous.

Reminds me of the pheasant plucker's son.

And many seconds,work life balance,they have it

I'm balanced between wanting a nap and being too awake to have one.

When I was younger, I attempted to grow a mustache for the first time. I was in college and finding myself in that sense. When I returned home for a weekned visit with family, my mother thought it was handsome and that I looked a lot like Wayne Newton and he was "dreamy".

I promptly shaved it off.

That's why I found your choice of artist so...interesting.

I was going to make fun of Wayne Newton for being a pathetic old man with dyed hair and way too much plastic surgery while riding on the coat tails of his one hit song. But I thought about it while walking the dog and decided Wayne Newton probably doesn't care what a pathetic old man with no hair walking a white fluffy dog thinks, he's too busy fighting off women and counting his millions.

I have nothing personal against Wayne Newton. I however, had no interest in looking even remotely similar to a man my mother found attractive as a woman. Though I do appreciate the underlying sentiment that she recognized my natural good looks as a mother.

There's just something wrong with going further with that.

I don't know that he would worry about my story either and for much the same reasons you came up with.

Number one is to find some friends to say "You're doing well
After all this time you boys look just the same"
Number two is the happy hour at one of two hotels
Settle in to play "Do you remember so and so?"
Number three is never say her name

I thought it best not to mention that your Mum thought you were hot.

My mum thought I needed plastic surgery.

That was where my mind went at the time and where it did not go in reality. Even the hint at the tender age of 19 was enough to send me to quick action in response.

Like Barney Fife said, "Nip it in the bud".

My mum thought I needed plastic surgery.

For a stone tree, wouldn't that be like tuck pointing?

Actually, Wayne Newton hit the skids and has had a lot of financial trouble.

I didn't ask.....I ran away from home and a bear ate me.

I seem to encounter an increasing number of trucks carrying single fragile egos these days. Some of them are rather large trucks for the daily commute and are often driven as if the driver feels they handle as well as any Corvette, BMW, Audi or Mercedes.

I see that a lot myself on my way to work.... and in my parking garage there are a few nice, clean and shinny 3/4ton pickups.....

"Gentleman trucks." The kind that will never actually hold a pile of gravel

It seems sort of redundant. And, unless those are mattresses from a secure hospital ward, they don't have straps to secure passengers. Does Texas have seatbelt laws?

On the other hand, he is keeping them from leaving the truck. Clearly, safety isn't outside of understanding here, just incomplete in its conception.

I wonder too about taking pictures while driving, but you didn't say how and it could be dashcam captures.

Overall, I am not surprised what I see while driving on major roads.

I'll take your points and questions one at a time.

Yes. Texas has seatbelt laws but I don't think he cares one way or the other.

And I was a passenger so I could snap away, which I did.

That happens a lot. I see it more and more these days. And the havoc that causes for bear digestion is just terrible.

I got that impression too.

I'm glad to hear that you were being safe. I didn't want to assume, but I should have realized from the position of the wiper blades in the photo that it was shot from the front passenger side.
