Post something good that happened today, Parts Two

['andersom']

My truck only aspires to be a big truck, although it can drink like one some days.

Something about the smell of that wintergreen tobacco that's popular around here I've never got used to.

No banjos, although there's always hope...used to play the viola (classical)...eons ago.

Never been to a hoedown, but I did make the Fayette County Fair for "Cigarette" (The Clarks).

1 tattoo...it was a girl's night out dare...I treasure the memory, no regrets. 1 of us got a honey bee, another decided on a butterfly, and the other choose a black widow spider.

The personal armory is well-stocked.

 
I also grow produce in a small rural yard...and the neighbors down the road (and up) both have chickens (free range).


Raised in a snobby section of NY, married/divorced/re-adopted into a whole family of rednecks. Wouldn't change it for the world.

All that is well and good and I can applaud most of what you typed, BUT   ---  you described all your girl friends dare tats, BUT NOT YOURS!!!

Inquiring minds and all.
 

There were only the three of us...and I've never been the normal one. 
 

Did the others face their fears in the tattoos too?

See, I am still not getting it. Was yours the bee, the butterfly or the spider?  We  HAVE to know!!!
 










You know I am just playing. I really do not care unless you are going to show me, then I really, really, really do not care. I just wanna see!!

Just me. I've never been a fan of spiders, but that, and forcing myself to read more about them, watch them in the garden, helped a great deal.

Now if I could only talk my BIL into getting a tattoo of a snake...

[DirtDawg]

I have had the thought that a man should have a snake tat and a woman should have a mongoose tat.

Seems fitting.  Mongoose almost always captures the snake.

Good view of the lunar eclipse. Nice spot outside the village. No people, just kid and me. Some very nice shooting stars too.

As far as I have found, those of us in the "Western Hemisphere"  are not so privileged as to have an opportunity to witness the longest lasting lunar eclipse of the century.

Have fun and maybe light a candle for us poor souls in the Western Hemisphere.

I am glad I am not the only one who looks up and wonders why we do so.

It was an awesome sight and we took our time watching it. First full eclipse for my 17 year old. The chances before there was no clear sky. Conditions now were perfect.

Cats and bats on our walk back home.

Life is good.

It's a pity that you couldn't see it. Here we could see the last half of the eclipse. The moon rose red.

I've been looking up as long as I can remember. With my dad, or on my own when I couldn't sleep as a kid. I had the luck to grow up in a place where the nights were still really dark. No curtains, I could see stars from my bed. But for the best view I had to get up and go to the other side of the house.

I wonder if people nowadays look up less because it's hard to find a dark space.

When I was a teen I had friends who would look up too. I've been stargazing with my kids from a young age on.
Today we walked to find the best place to watch the moon. We encountered quite a few people. But none of them looked up.

Why we look up doesn't puzzle me. Why people don't look up, that amazes me. And I think it's kinda sad.

[DirtDawg]

An excellent point!

I picked up a very strong indication that IceQueen's tattoo was the black widow spider.

[odeon]

Was able to see some of the lunar eclipse. Awesome!

[Icequeen]

No eclipse for us here. 

The sunset wasn't bad though.

Do you mean stargazing or looking up by itself? I look up a lot. It’s handy I guess, once I saw this gull crapping from above and I got out of the way just in time and it crapped on someone else instead.

Probably look up more than I realize. Mom has always found it hilarious when I recall places by describing the ceiling. Even as a kid couldn't understand why that's funny. Some places have very interesting ceilings.

I probably know every ceiling flaw in a 10 mile radius.
