Hope

June 29, 2012

Today I am feeling hopeful.  More hopeful.  Perhaps it’s because my car’s driver-side door lock miraculously fixed itself after a few annoyingly troublesome weeks.  Perhaps it’s because the Supreme Court handed down some good decisions this week.  Perhaps it’s because I have a three day weekend ahead of me and summer is here and it’s Friday afternoon and I have a cool beer waiting in my fridge for me. Or maybe it’s just my own conscious decision to embrace optimism.

Whatever the case, I’ve been meaning to post this for awhile.  It’s a sweet little installation.  Wish I had posted it before it got tagged…

Have a great weekend y’all!

    That is just cool. Love the birds on this. Have a great weekend, and enjoy that cold beer!

    FYI, it was painted last year as part of the Throw Down for the Town. Someone who lived nearby proposed cleaning up that bus stop, and it was accepted.

    It’s a shame that it was tagged, but it’s made it nearly a year with only a bit of tagging. Not bad. There was also some serious brush there (we’re talking 6-foot-tall thistles) that were removed, and it looks like that’s been maintained, too.
