hi-ho, hi-ho, it's off to work I go

encounter 1:

i got a ticket on my way to work this morning,

for i forgot to renew my license plates in august.

it really put me in a bad mood!

{especially because the officer was very rude}

encounter 2:

i like this one better.

this one put me in a much better mood to start the day.

i saw this "guy" while driving to work last week.

{"fast eddie" trying to flag people down for a car wash}

i happened to have my camera ready

so that i could take pictures of the sumac

that was everywhere along the road.

so, i stole a shot while smiling ear to ear.
