Appreciating the Smaller Things

We were having withdrawals of pretty much everything fun yesterday. So, we went to the local indoor pool in the morning to play in our scuba gear. It's a cheap (free because the instructors were there doing a class) and easy way to get our scuba fix when it's freezing outside and we have no money. Then, in the afternoon, we decided to go to a friend's pasture to shoot some guns. Mine kept jamming. I swear I cleaned it the last time I shot the damn thing, but it just wouldn't feed right. And, don't say it was me because Travis has the same gun and I shot his perfectly with the same ammo. So, there. While we were there, we walked around the creek some. I sunk about a half a foot into the swampy stuff and soaked my boots--but my socks stayed dry. That always makes you happy! It was really beautiful out there, that's about all I can say. Anyway, I looked up into the country sky, which was amazing by the way, and I saw this


I know. It was the coolest thing to see. It reminds me to appreciate the simple and smaller things in life. Yesterday was a good day. A very, very good day.

  1. It was good except for the gun jamming. That sux! A Sig's not supposed to jam.

  2. I know. It kind of worries me... That gun has never jammed.

  3. Try a different magazine. I'd bet that's your problem. Could be a weak spring.

  4. No, we ruled that out. We tried my mag in Travis' gun and another mag in my gun. No dice.

  5. That sky looks awesome. Seeing the jets cross paths would have been even cooler.

  6. I LOVE a good pollution pic. Seriously though, a good day despite a sticky magazine and wet socks. (ew. That sounds like a typical trip to the outhouse while camping).

  7. Yeah,sometimes just looking up is amazing how small we are. Personally, I love the winter night sky, when it is dark and full of stars.
