UGH! The small mountain fire near my house stinks! The wind blows just right and it scents up the world an eternal BBQ flavor. I took a picture of it with the zoom lens.
Opps wrong picture. But you get the idea.
My throat is raspy and has been hurting with the weather. I just got out of the shower and in 5 minutes my hair smells like mesquite again! To entertain myself, I was thinking of the one thing I would grab if the fire was indeed near. Holly of course. I would stuff her in her carrier and throw a blanket over it the way you throw a blanket over bird cages for... hrm.. Why do they throw blankets over bird cages? Anyhow, on my way out I would also toss the turtle into my purse and hope to God he doesn't pee in it. He's tiny and packs light, so he wouldn't count in my ONE thing. If I had a bit more time, I would probably have more time to panic and I would grab a trash bag and start throwing picture frames in there. Then I would calm down a bit, gather my senses, and grab my favorite pair of jeans. And them some clean undies. Then I would freak out and order David to unplug the hard drive and OHHH don't forget the CD holder with all our burned pictures. Then I'd start getting delirious and yanking the speakers of the home theater system (for its the only expensive thing I can think of that we own). All and all it would be a pretty stupid escapade. Then of course drive away in my car. BYE, BYE!! I'll wave goodbye and wonder why I didn't think of saving the photo printer. Because if you can't document life with pictures to prove it, then it really didn't happen.
Tomorrow is Friday!! Yay. The Fruit Truck Lady parks in front of my building on Fridays and sells amazing fruit for only $2. Fresh, cut up pieces of mango, pineapple, watermelon, cucumber. She even squirts lemon juice, salt and chili powder on it!! I can't wait.
Yes, it's sour times when the highlight of your day is the Fruit Truck Lady.
