America the Beautiful

This blog is for yesterday, May 11, 2011, but I couldn't post it until this morning because Blogger shut down the edit features on the blog last night at 11:00 pm to do maintenance on the site.

Fyodor Dostoevsky claimed he got characters out of news paper clippings and family. Real life is always weirder than anything you can make up. Take "Cannibal arrested after his 'dinner' called cops" for example. How weird can people be?  There was a headline the other day about a person who called 911 because he was short-changed in a crack deal. Okay? Then the guy is surprised to learn it's illegal to buy crack! I guess he was pretty cracked up.

Today's photos include America, a white butterfly, a red mini rose, which we don't know the name of, Puck in the window and Harleys on Gold.  

It's really pretty cold tonight. If it freezes, the water line to the swamp cooler will probably break, the latest growth on the roses, and the few iris that are still thinking about blooming will get damaged.  The cold makes all my joints hurt, yet I had to climb up on the roof to fix a little hole in the water line to the swamp cooler this afternoon. The hole looked like something bit the line. If it's not the cold, it's the critters! The transitions from one season to another are always challenging around here.
