Cowboy Church

I think today was the first day I did not bust out my camera. Was out the door this morning and back eight hours later and then jumped right into a meeting that lasted two hours. I had two bites of my daughter's mac-n-cheese and an oatmeal raisin cookie for dinner. I'm still in my pool clothes. 

I stumbled upon this picture in my files and thought, Sweet Jesus, how do I get myself to Cowboy Church?! Right about now, I need me some grace and mercy! I'm in need. 

We leave for vacation on Sunday and it cannot come soon enough...

"_ _ OP!"

 

A "Stop" sign near my house. I have been driving over it for over a week and it never seems to cease being funny to me. My thoughts as I come to an "OP":

1. Is this how our city is dealing with the budget crisis? 

2. Hmm...I wonder in what other areas our city officials are adopting this "half-is-good-enough" policy?

3. That is one long lunch break for a city worker...

4. Does this mean I can employ a rolling "California stop"?  "But Officer..."

5. What's up with the completed stop sign across the street? No fair...it has an "ST".

Go ahead and contribute your own funny thoughts.  :)

I've been thinking about it though. It's a silly half painted stop sign that was just forgotten, low on the laundry list of things the city needs to complete. With fewer resources and money you gotta put your city workers where it counts the most right? Kidding. But it makes me wonder...what if we all (gov't and citizens alike) adopted and accepted this "half done" mentality? What kind of freedom...or chaos would ensue?

Just my little thoughts as I come to an "_ _ OP".
