In Honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day
In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day I took the opportunity to go over to the Martin Luther King Jr. Monument. Upon arriving my initial thoughts was that the status is white and there is a couple mountains on both sides that are white with a piece missing where I first walked through to enter the monument area. I thought they could have done more with this monument, however after I walked by the right side of MLK and I read, “OUT OF THE MOUNTAIN OF DESPAIR, A STONE OF HOPE.” Then as I continued around to the front I began to realize the perspective of the artist which carved MLK out of the missing piece of the mountain. MLK was the hope that was taken out of the mountain of despair. When I considered the MLK monument was one of the giants who helped form this nation and the company he is amongst being George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, this is where the experience was most humbling. It was a beautiful day to reflect at what MLK’s contributions were for equal rights in the United States.
Stop and Smell the Roses
It’s good to stop and smell the roses from time to time. I saw this flower sitting there in bloom and I knew I had to snap a photo to capture it’s beauty.

Last Ride on My Harley
While riding my Harley, I swerved to avoid hitting a deer, lost control and landed in a ditch, severely banging my head.
Dazed and confused I crawled out of the ditch to the edge of the road when a shiny new convertible pulled up with a very beautiful woman who asked, “Are you okay?”
As I looked up, I noticed she was wearing a low cut blouse with cleavage to die for…
“I’m okay I think,” I replied as I pulled myself up to the side of the car to get a closer look.
She said, “Get in and I’ll take you home so I can clean and bandage that nasty scrape on your head.”
“That’s nice of you,” I answered, “but I don’t think my wife will like me doing that!”
“Oh, come now, I’m a nurse,” she insisted. “I need to see if you have any more scrapes and then treat them properly.”
Well, she was really pretty and very persuasive. Being sort of shaken and weak, I agreed, but repeated, “I’m sure my wife won’t like this.”
We arrived at her place which was just few miles away and, after a couple of cold beers and the bandaging, I thanked her and said, “I feel a lot better but I know my wife is going to be really upset so I’d better go now.”
“Don’t be silly!” she said with a smile. “Stay for a while. She won’t know anything. By the way, where is she?”
“Still in the ditch with the Harley, I guess.”
