Contemplating Existence

Okay, not really. Existence pretty much is. I sometimes wonder why, why anything is anything. But I usually try to avoid such neverending circles of confusion. Gives me a headache.

This morning at work, we discussed the surety that Sales is not only not human, but not even remotely connected to reality. Then we progressed to discussing the fact that football players look good on big screen TVs. Then we talked about favorite movies. This devolved into finding pictures of Jason Statham, to show one of my co-workers, since she wasn't sure who he was. Mmmm... Jason Statham...

I've survived to Thursday. If I can make it through today and tomorrow, I have a three day weekend, that I get to spend showing Burt and Eero my mountains. Yes, you read that right, MY mountains. Not quite like the "My Island" quote from Braveheart, but close. :) I love the mountains. I love the way the air smells, I love the sound of the wind in the trees. I love the critters that live there. I have fox, elk, deer, mountain lions, mice, rabbits and all manner of birds that make life colorful and interesting. On Monday, on my way to work, I had to stop on the main road in Evergreen, for the ever meandering herds of elk, who decided they needed to cross the road. *shrug* Happens pretty frequently. I've seen quite a lot of elk butt since moving here. :) That's usually what they present you with, as they wander across the road, or graze in the grass next to the road. Last night, standing on my aunt's deck, waiting for dinner to cook, I watched a doe wander across Annette's driveway. The doe's fawn was standing next to the road as I left, looking at me with some startlement. I've seen fox near Annette's, and also at my house. Haven't actually seen a mountain lion, and that's okay! Also had a bear near my house, 'though I didn't see it, because I was driving.

Ah, day please go quickly!
