Thread Of Positive Awesomeness

I snapped this pic by the negative edge pool in Cozumel a few years ago when we were there on a dive trip.

 

This guy and his boxers were at one of the Phoenix area "Bikers for Boxers" fund raisers that Mr. Sandi and I did a few years ago. (Can you tell I'm going through old photos? COVID era amusement). Anyway, he's on a custom trike adapted for his disability as well as to bring his two boxers along for the ride!

BoxerLuv Boxer Rescue did a fund raiser--Bikers for Boxers--for six years. Until their lawyers put the kibosh on it because of liability. It was an awesome event--coffee and breakfast meetup for registration, a "poker run" through the Phoenix metro area, all followed by lunch and live music with a silent and a live auction. At each venue throughout the day there were boxers hanging out with BoxerLuv volunteers hoping for a new home or a foster family. Mr. Sandi and I would ride up from Tucson for the event then stay overnight at some nice little Phoenix hotel and ride home the next day.

 

Is it though? I thought poetry was supposed to rhyme?





Nice verse though.

 

Rhymes

I’ve been told me poems should rhyme,
And most o’ me poems dun’t!
It’s not like I’m committing a crime,
It just I’m an ignorant fool!

Wow And they are fishing.

Still looking through photos in my iPhoto collection. I took these while visiting my little brother and his family in Minnesota at the family farm a couple of summers ago.



And the pic below is a close up of one of those purple blooms in the foreground of that photo.

I took this with my old SE iPhone. Smartphones are really computers and cameras these days.

 

Mr. Sandi, Annie the boxer, and I saw this hawk on our morning walk a couple of days ago.

 

These pictures are of my daughter
I tell her she needs to grow her hair long and keep it natural or she won't get a job
I tell her to not get so many piercings
I tell her to do an academic college course

She ignores me

She does what the hell she wants without giving a damn about other people's opinion
She is getting a tattoo for her birthday
She completed a college course on Urban Fusion Art with distinction
She has enjoyed life ten times more than me

I am jealous of my daughter and think she is awesome

Couple of photos from today’s walk...

 

A great quote to remember:

"When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how muchhe had learned in seven years."

Mark Twain.
