We were just chillin’ and waiting for certain people to finish getting dressed so we could go to the grocery store, and we heard a loud squeal of tires and then a BAMM! It was a horrific loud bang with the added screech of metal rubbing violently against metal. We all jumped up and ran outside to see what happened. There were two car in the front of the house, and at least one was seriously disabled.

The first car had 4 young black guys in it, who all jumped out of the car and were milling about, looking at the damage. The second car was a fat, older white woman – who didn’t get out of the car but was on her cell phone. I went over to the guys and asked if anyone was hurt and they said no. But then I said that I had called the police and 3 of them ran off down the road. LOL

Turns out they were up to no good and the driver of the car was stuck there to deal with the cops and the tow truck while his buddies had taken off and left him there. How funny. The cops showed up and hauled his ass off in the back of the cop car. The tow truck showed up 2 hours later and I have no idea what happened to the fat chick.

So that was a little excitement in our “hood” today.

This time of year is when all the leaves have turned brilliant colors and I want to take pictures of the scenery. My cell phone takes pictures, but I want really GOOD pictures. I want to learn how to use the professional quality cameras, with f-stops and other settings. Maybe Santa will bring me a good one?

My new cell phone is awesome. I can download apps to do all kinds of really cool things. I found some good ones from my brother’s Android phone and I want to ask each of my friends what are their top 10 favorite apps. So far, my favorite is the one that tells me the planets, stars and constellations when I point the camera up toward the night sky. I just love that one!

This cold weather is starting to wear me down. I have had to get out the winter quilt and October is barely half over. I have a bad feeling that this winter is going to be a very cold winter. I just hope that doesn’t mean a lot of ice or snow, too. I can turn on the heat to fight the cold. But the ice and snow – that is too much to deal with.

Dreams only die when you let them. Keep your dreams alive – if if they just go on “life support” for a while. Don’t let the naysayers make you give up on your dreams.
