An Angel Named Barbara Stopped By Just Now...

You'll remember I mentioned Barbara from Switzerland the other day?  Well, in my last post (which was just a few minutes ago) I had signed off and was about to climb on the Beast and head out for the library when suddenly this lady rode up and called out to me.

Barbara, as I live and breathe.  Be still my heart.

So she sat down and we chatted.  Both of us smiling like crazy.  Showed her some of the pictures I've been taking and she was properly effusive and impressed.  Great lady.  Then she insisted that she take some pictures of me, so I'll post them when I come up with the little cord.  Amazingly enough, the camera didn't break.  It's a Samsung S630.  Does 6.0 megapixels and is plenty good enough for my purposes.  Tough little critter, too.

Then we took a few of us together.  How beautiful it all is.  She is just one of those people who has a beautiful soul and fantastic energy, and you can't help but feel like there's a kind of goodness, almost...holiness about her.  First Allen, then Barbara show up to make my day.

How fortunate I am!

Barbara...you go get 'em, girl!

Much peace and aloha,

Elijah

  3. Starting to move out of my comfort zone. Actually got *across* the bridge this morning, down past Jack-in-the-Box to the McDonalds. (See my blog re that.) So I couldn't have been too far from Bouldin Creek Cafe, which I will soon check out per your recommendation.

    Don't forget: free coffee for bike commuters on Friday @ Juan Pelota's.

    Peace!
