And one day you will notice school buses and cabs are the same color.

And you will feel dumb.

One wonders if Tara Kyle realized she was talking to someone with a law

from "Bhootnath Returns"

Do not be what someone else thinks you are....


.... unless you really value their opinion.

Two hours ago I put the hen in the oven and put some water in the pitcher to filter for the beans.


If only I'd remembered to complete step two of the previous,


I might be happily munching on some hen and beans right now.

I've been meaning to do a project like this.

Eyes, hands, feet.
