Balloon Dreams

I wish I had a picture. A few days ago, from my house, in the distance, I saw this hot air balloon hovering low in the sky. It's not so rare a sight that I'd feel a need to stand and gawk at it for an hour or anything, but it's not something I see everyday. So yes, I did gawk a bit. A short while later, I see this same balloon (not as far away as it looked) crossing over the highway, low enough that if it were closer to the nearby overpass, it could've touched it. I wondered if that person had been that low intentionally, to watch the drones heading to work, or if it were some mistake s/he were frantically trying to correct. That's more excitement than I could handle that early in the morning. It was quite a sight to see though. Definitely wish I had brought my camera to work that day. Does it feel like you can touch the sky when you're in a hot air balloon?

The Cook's Thesaurus

 Something useful: The Cook's Thesaurus is a cooking encyclopedia that covers thousands of ingredients and kitchen tools.  Entries include pictures, descriptions, synonyms, pronunciations, and suggested substitutions. 

Anger

Anger has its place. I wish i knew where to put it and be rid of it. Sometimes it's useful. But usually, it just confuses the issue. Wish I could safely vent it before it gets me into trouble. Doesn't usually work out that way though. Too many anger issues. Suppressing it doesn't make it go away. How to process it without causing damage? NFI.  So for now.... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

A Begining

 This is the begining of nothing special. Or perhaps, nothing at all.
