Rise & Shine

 

To all you early risers, and I know you are because I am up very early and I can see the number of visitors to my Blog change as I sit here.  So, I know a few of you are checking to see what is new.  What did this guy write yesterday?  Anything of interest, anything Blog worthy? 

I can tell you this, just moments ago I watched a squirrel leap from quite a distance and grab onto a tree trunk.  I don’t know why, but that made me think that animals don’t wear pelts.  Yes, they all have them on, but they’re not a pelt until they are removed from the animal.

I find that aspect of it disgusting, so I won’t dwell on that, but try to consider other things that don’t become something until they are somehow changed.

Like pocket change can become bus fare.  Snow can easily become slush.  A car can become a liability.  Thinking about those people in New York city, where public transportation is readily available, as opposed to parking spaces.  And according to almost every television show, any household object can become a blunt object, and then evolve into exhibit A. 

All of this, of course, could be a side-effect of being an early riser.  Leaving my brain running but not in any particular gear, can result in it jumping from pelts to parking spots, or a bust of Martha Washington becoming a murder weapon.

Not that I recommend sleeping in.  I know that is something I have never mastered.  The minute I am awake, this keyboard starts calling me.  "Hey Zobostic, I see you over there.  Don't try to pretend you're still sleeping.  Come on - write something.  You know you want to."
