May 12

Happy Anniversary.  My first airplane solo was on this date a few years back.  I can't remember if it's 5 or 6 or 7 years.  That adventure was undertaken because of coveting.  Coveting in western Nebraska takes strange forms.  In the back clinic at Scottsbluff, we coveted a wall hanging quilt in the hallway on the way to the clinic.
Then there was a shirt hanging in an abandoned cubbyhole next to the bathroom.  No one was looking.  It was very tempting.
And then after the appointment, at the restaurant, a cowboy walked in wearing spurs on his muddy boots.  Love at first sight.

  1. The picture of the boots is very creepy to me. The color of the boots, color of the jeans, the jeans being tucked into the boots and the way the person is sitting, just from looking at the way the feet are... very, very odd.

  2. I was thinking quirky, not creepy.
