Things I think I think….

This morning’s commute was less than desirable.  When you wake up to the sound of a helicopter hovering over your neighborhood, you know traffic (in Atlanta) is going to be fun.  Overturned vehicle on the interstate at my exit (thank you WSB).

I took side roads through upper Marietta/East Cobb.  I observed an individual, who apparently learned something at Alabama A&M, drive his entire truck through a decently landscaped median to get the turn lane cause he didn’t want to wait for the light.  I guess they do things a little different in Abbalamma.  The car behind him and next to me had a woman who was tweezing her upper lip.  That was a first for me…I have never seen anyone tweeze anything while sitting in traffic. I am glad that I didn’t eat anything beforehand, cuz it was pretty gross…and yet, I don’t know why.

Behind the Tweezer sat a fellow in a jeep.  This fellow whould eventually go on to cut me off later down the road.  The thing I noticed was that he had a Queensryche bumper sticker.  Queensryche?  I have never encountered a fan so devoted to Queensryche as to put a sticker on their car.  To make it even odder (is that a word?), it was the only sticker on his car.  I hope his day is filled with silent lucidity.

I leave for India in 2 days…and my stomach is in knots.  I have a lot of stuff to get together before I go.  I trust Him.

My father-in-law emailed me a little message this morning wishing me a good trip.  I don’t talk to him much, so that little email made me feel pretty darn special this morning.  He is a good man and I plan on trying to spend more time with him.  I think he, Eli, & I need to go on a fishing trip this fall.  With my dad being with the Lord, Daddy T is the closest thing to an earthly father I have.
