A rough day at the ranch...

Well here I am ready to barf all sorts of goodies right on to this page and I'm having trouble getting started. Why don't I try with writing down today's observations:

1) survived a Tornado warning (again!) - this is a tough thing for a gal who grew up in fair weathered always safe except for the Earthquakes Californian. We had an incredible lightening storm at about 4am this morning... Over slept from staying up too late and then waking up to watch the storm...

2) Went for a bike ride & was thinking about God and what grand plan he has for us. It dawned on me as I watched the birds scuttle back and forth and how the light was coming through the left over grey skies from the storms that it was holy week. Friday they would be putting the J on the cross. Then I got to thinking like a Buddist and how Jesus was also a master (no?) --- then I thought how much organized religion can really mess it all up. For example why are we afraid of the devil if everything was created by the devine master God? And as I had this thought - I passed a man holding a SNAKE - I kid you not. It was as bizarre as it gets.

3) Lastly, as I stood in line for my tall nonfat* extra foam latte at the Buck (*aka skinny here in the south lands - yes I know how wrong of me to tell you that and how extra wrong of me to point it out)... a little wisp of a girl (maybe 2 yrs old) was waiting with her big bro (maybe 5) and daddy. They bought there goodies and sat down. Daddy goes to get a straw or something and the two kids are sitting by themselves (being kids) next thing you know the little boy is hysterical and walks up to me as I am the closest resemblance of an adult female in the store- of course being who I am I say "what's wrong honey?!" His face was full of shock and tears were streaming from his eyes - then he blurts out - EMILY BIT ME - and lo and behold if that index finger he held up to me was bleeding from a tooth mark!!! By this time dad's alarm system is in full gear and he's back. What happen he exclaims?! Emily sly as can be is smiling. Dad swats her. Now both kids are in full scream. Lucky for me my coffee arrived and I was out-a-there...Now what I want to know is, what was big bro's finger doing in Emily's mouth?

That's it for tonight.
