DAY 351

Photobucket

"Dwell on what's bound to be." -Connor Rasmussen

Tonight we went out to look at lights. Unfortunately the Squaw Creek show must not be happening this year, but we did find several homes who appear to have enough Christmas cheer for the lot of us. It's tricky business trying to get a clear picture at night. I was beginning to think that it was the end of the POTD, but I'm so close to the finish now... I have to complete the task. So, it may not win any awards, but satisfies the requirement.

The quote has very little to do with the photo of the day, but was a very profound statement made by Little Man as we were driving around tonight. He and Pokey were fighting (surprise, surprise) and Little Man was getting frustrated with how Pokey kept talking about the past and how mean he was to her, etc. This statement was the result. Not sure I totally agree, but pretty deep for a 10 year old boy.

In other news:

Cedar Rapids is no longer the city of 5 smells. It has now taken on an entirely new one. The old Sinclair Packing plant has been smoldering (I think unintentionally?) for the last couple days and there has been this horrible ash tray sort of smell everywhere. It's bad and has officially made it the city of 6 smells, at least in my book. Nasty.
