Meant to post this one earlier

I went to visit my good friend Jamie (www.prayforjamie.com) last
weekend. It was a ton of fun, and I was finally able to meet his
fiancée in person. Snapped this pic for my contacts, but its too good
not to share with everyone.

Daxter + Great Dane

= one wigged out Daxter :) He soooo thinks he's a big dog!

Jubilee has officially graduated!

Jubilee graduated from beginner class today. We took Daxter when he
was little and now its her turn to do the courses.

Everyday Beauty

Sometimes I'm not sure if many people stop to notice the simple beauty
in so many things we take for granted. I took a picture of this tree
today that brightened my day significantly. Just thought I'd share
that feeling with everyone.

Greensboro Bicentenial

We went to one of the events this past Saturday that Greensboro is
having for their 200th birthday. There were live bands everywhere and
many of the shops stayed open late. It was a lot of fun, and I was
able to see one of my favorite bands for free: Athenaeum.

Ever wonder what to do with an old Pentium II?

Use it as a card & sticky note holder, of course!

Driving

I find driving in the US these days somewhat frustrating.  I'm not exactly a "granny" driver, however, I'm definitely not a speed demon.  I am definitely not the best driver in the world, but for the most part I have learned my lessons about driving recklessly.

Today alone I managed to avoid several people hitting me while they either weren't paying attention, or were just of the opinion that the road is theirs and "you better move".  I think this mentality that you "own the road" you drive on needs to be squashed.  I mean, I can't tell you how many times people drive almost on my back bumper because I'm not going as fast as they want me to on "their road".  I have people in my neighborhood who drive about 45 mi/hr in a 25 mi/hr zone.  I hope every day that they don't run over any of the little children that play in the neighborhood.

The main reason for so many accidents is that people are no longer driving defensively.  Many people are just too busy to pay attention to their driving.  I'm all for picking up the phone and calling someone, or answering a call...just try and be as careful as possible.  Maybe make the call when you're at a stop light, or stop sign.  Why can't we as responsible adults try and drive more considerate.  It might save your life (or someone elses) someday.
