So...today I made lemonade!


Living in Vegas, there is always an opportunity to travel on the freeways. By freeways, I mean five to six lanes going each way, clover-leafs, mach speed, IDIOTS, etc. It's like being on the racetrack except that the drivers are not any where near that capable, NOR do they posses the abilities needed for a race track. ANYWAY, today I was going across town and yes, there was a wreck. Not just one, but three. One was on the freeway. In the heat, and the fact that it was right at the "Spaghetti Bowl" could get most people down. BUT forever the optimist, or the almost always optimist, I decided to make a crappy situation into a good one...made lemonade out of the lemons, tried to find something positive in the situation...AND I DID!!! WOOHOO!!!!
Along the freeways here there are murals and desert/Native American decorations. At the "Spaghetti Bowl" there are several bronze sculptures of Desert Tortoises! I have always tried to get pictures of them, but usually in a car that is going "mach" speed! Since I was stopped, I got out my camera and was able to photograph several of the tortoises!!! It was AWESOME and I have accomplished a goal. So, now if I can post them, you too can see them!
