Photo of the Week: Well, if it makes you feel good about yourself...

Sorry for my extended vacation from blogging; between my "Tour de Friends" trip and me currently working two jobs that are awesome but physically (and sometimes emotionally) draining, I haven't much time or energy to write. Buuuut, I'll try to be better in the future. Now for the picture of the week... I didn't take it. I found it on the internet, but it went along with something else I wanted to talk about. I just didn't want to mislead anyone, so no complaints or comments about that ;)



My little sister and her boyfriend were down at the Loop (my favorite St.Louis spot), and she saw this interesting sign. It was a flyer for volunteers to join the squirrel patrol. Don't believe me? Call this number: 314-398-1777. Trust me; it's worth it. I called it about a month ago, and it was trying to make motorists more aware of squirrels and rabbits while driving. But it's voicemail message is different now, and it gives some great suggestions on helping our fluffy-tailed friends... which means that this is an ongoing, active group (I wonder if they have monthly meetings and what issues they try to tackle)... and I can't help but wonder if this is honestly they best they could come up with. Squirrels?! Not "let's collect clothes for poor people", or "let's visit old people in the nursing homes". No, those are too cliche'. We need something more cuddly. Well, there are already groups for the animals on the endangered species list. How about squirrels? I guess there is some squirrel crisis that I didn't know about. While doing research, I found out that there are a lot of squirrel activists out there and there even is a National Squirrel Awareness Week in October. Oh, well, if it makes you feel like you're making a difference...

Picture of the Week: Walgreens DOES have everything!

On my way to drop off one of my clients at her activity center, I saw this sign and first it flashed "AARP applications inside", then the above, then "Wonderbread, 3 for $8", then some other stuff, and I was like, "did that say what I think it said?" So on the way back, I pulled into the parking lot and about peed in my pants from laughing. I wonder what the story is behind it. Do they really have chicken poop and why. I like to think that some guy got fired, and he changed the sign and rigged the computer so that no one could change it. Oh well, it's nice to know that I no longer have to drive out to the country to get my chicken poop, Walgreen has it...

Picture of the Week: Dirty Cubs

Lately, I have had a lack of desire to blog, but I have been having great fun with my digital camera. So I have decided to start a "picture of the week" series. We will see how long this will last, considering that I am going outta town for the next two weeks.
I took this picture at the Cards vs. Cubs game. It's hard to believe that we lost that game, since the cubs seem slightly "distracted"...
