Miscellaneous things that I post. Could be deep. Could be shallow. Could be sad. Could be funny. Might even be true.
The ice cream man came by my house on Saturday. If you are as old as I am, or a lucky youngster who happens to live in one of the few neighborhoods he still visits, you have seen him before. He drives a beat-up white van or panel truck with colorful pictures of frozen treats all over it. […]
There is a guy who works at Wendy’s. I have seen him there for the 20 years I have lived here, but he told me yesterday that he has actually been working there for 28 years. He cleans the tables, throws out the trash, checks on the bathrooms and does a few other odd jobs.
My dentist fixes flat tires. I know because he fixed mine. I don’t know if he does it for everybody, but I do know that he did it for me, and I was truly surprised. I have been thinking about it ever since. Tammy and Sam had a dentist appointment to get their teeth cleaned
Sam and I came across some bones while on our Sunday walk. A skeleton of sorts. It was the backbone and rib cage of what I can only guess was a deer. It was kinda weird to see it laying there by the side of the road so we stood for a while, trying to

Getting in the way of oncoming traffic can be dangerous, especially if that oncoming traffic is me. Over the course of my life, I have run over a few things. I have splattered countless bugs on the windshield, perhaps squished a frog or two, and quite probably crushed a poor turtle. I remember hitting a squirrel,
I saw Saturn early this morning. So did a lot of other people, they just didn’t notice. Anyone who glanced at the sky could have seen it.
