OK here's a big smile from me for today. Since they finished the sidewalks and resurfaced the street one block away that dead ends into my street, it's been sitting there with no markings (crosswalks, etc.) So today, there was a nice STOP painted on the pavement, AND here's the smile (actually laughing out loud) part: The guy who consistently parks his cement mixer and a huge truck with a cement pumper thingy on a trailer on that street, right at the corner will be growling for the rest of his life.
Because: The new markings included RED CURBS on every corner, and his 'private parking spot' is now shrunken to only enough for one small car. Ha. I'm so thrilled. He's been breaking the rules for over 3 years now and finally they 'get' him. Can't wait to see where his cement mixer and truck end up. Probably in front of one of his neighbor's houses.

I could listen to the things that make you all smile all day. It's so uplifting. The little things in life are the best! Sorta, what is a red curb?

O K yesterday I googled "the trickster in literature and history" and ended up watching bugs bunny and garfield cartoons on youtube. And laughed and laughed -they were my favorites.
Lotus, aren't you happy you kept Finn now? Some of my cats have played in the ponds located in my pasture and have tried fishing expiditions upon occasion.

Niteowl, you can bring Melodee up for a playdate anytime. L4L, I would have liked to have seen that expression. And Yankee, yes! I am so glad he claimed us. He isn't the first cat I have had to love water either. I had a Siamese called Mr. Dickens, who got into the tub with me on more than one occasion, played in mud puddles and once took a flying leap into the fishpond to become completely submerged and I promise, he did walk on water. He also said a naughty word that I won't repeat here!! I don't know what we would do without our animal friends and family!!
Lotus Life is like a hot bath. It feels good while you’re in it, but the longer you stay in, the more wrinkled you get.

Yep Ana, Nightowl had it right about the red curb. They paint parts of the curb red around here to indicate you can't park there ever ever ever, not even to just sit for a minute. They are in front of fire hydrants, handicapped ramps, and usually at most corners about 12 feet in to make it easier for cars to turn without hitting cars hanging out into the traffic lanes. I want a red curb in front of my mailboxes on either side of my tiny little narrow driveway because when there are stupid people, they park right up to the driveway entrance and I can't see to get in or out and it's almost impossible to turn in or out. I have to go straight out into traffic and not at an angle. City so far is not cooperating, but they did it on the newly done street. Gonna have a chat with the city engineer again and plead my case. Takes all of 5 minutes for the guys to paint a curb. Geeez and a little red paint (special color you can't buy at the store) darn darn. But I'm smiling.
