I liked the way the sunrise looked in my work truck's window on my way to MO. I'm a little mad that I got my hand in the picture, but them's the breaks.

"I don't know, man. If something bleeds for 7 days and doesn't die, it's probably a lot tougher than me, so I'd want to make friends with it." ~Me at 16, bereft of clue.
Somewhere in the 30+ years since then, I figured out what they were talking about, and I firmly agree with 16-yr old me.

I was on a handyman job last night, and the sky was heralding a little storm when I went to get some tools out of the truck.
