It's A Great Day (t)

Rex woke up late. Smashed his elbow on the soap dish in the shower. Spilled coffee on himself driving to work. Had a flat tire. Got fired for being fifteen minutes late. The whole day just went to crap.

On the drive back home, Rex heard a news story on the radio about an explosion at the nearby waste management facility. Figures!

High Strung (p)

Paterina KzAfee is a field goal kicker. This is where she comes to practice. You can see her along Interstate 5 in the Los Angeles area almost every day during the week. When she gets tired of kicking balls, she practices her high wire act. She's a tough cookie!

Last Thought (t)

Horace rode like a bat out hell down the double solid lines. Air blowing through his hair. The deep rumble of his Harley beneath him. He didn't worry about it much because no one crosses double solid lines. Right? Well, at least that's what it says on his headstone.

Isolation (t)

Elsie loves living in the desolation of the desert. No neighbors, the glorious smell of sagebrush, and the Sun doesn't hit her place until about 10 AM.

Do It Yourself (t)

Reliance Overbury asked Junior to take care of an ant infestation while Reliance was in town gambling. Reliance said nothing about not using dynamite to remedy the situation.

Gung-Ho (t)

T. J. "King" Kong picked himself up, spit out a mouthful of sand and thought, "that was a hell of a ride! I wonder where my cowboy hat landed?"

Inconspicuous (t)

Sam was pretty sure these two padlocked buildings contained maintenance equipment. So, when he accidentally kicked the right combination of rocks and the buildings jettisoned revealing the noses of two Minutemen missiles, well, he was, to say the least, shocked!

Power Wagon (t)

Charlie Manson ran out of gas right here after the family torched an earthmover owned by Death Valley National Monument. It was a long walk to Barker Ranch and he was grumpy. To make matters worse, Tex Watson had made off with the other Power Wagon trying to get to Texas. Charlie was not happy.

(The above is fictional as far as I know, but, could be true.)

Blinded Relief (t)

Homer Growlingbowel made a quick pitstop. He was sitting there minding his own business when a brilliant light lit up the landscape. Homer doesn't remember what happened after that, but, he sure felt lighter.
