3/04/22 – Lines
Some lines are not meant to be crossed, though when it comes to sharing the road, I prefer physical barriers rather than paint [emoji439]Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So does that mean TWO photos for the day we find the bulldog wearing pants — or one post with two photos – or the bulldog instead of whatever that day’s subject is? You know I’m a rule follower – gimme some rules!
Please.I would like to get an answer to this as well. If I can get credit for both the lines and the bulldog today, that seems worthwhile. Otherwise, I might save the bulldog for a day when the regular item is harder to find.

Blue skies, blue witches hats single file parade in the parking lot. That’s a line!

The sculpture, entitled “Stabile”, is by Kevin Reese and the 4th grade students of Hunters Woods elementary school of 2006.
While I was contemplating it today, the top line kept moving around being pushed by the wind. Not so much fun to bike in, but fun to see the sculpture in action.

Not only does this painting contain lots of lines, but the name of it is “Red Line.”

Jump over these lines as “a strengthening exercise for the calf and thigh muscles” and become a stronger cyclist!

Exactly. It’s written “for kids to enjoy” or parents with kids. I’m neither.
It also sounded like a direct rebuke to seeing the Wizard of Oz as anything but another silly kids story with wonderful streets of gold.
I’m definitely not against seasoning this sometimes difficult life with large doses of thankfulness for the many wonderful things surrounding us, but living in a fantasy world of trickle-down wonders is just too much Blue Pill for me. There’s a subtle difference between thankfulness and “positive-thinking” that blocks out realty. So, it bugged me when applied to adults. But I’ve been crabby lately. Catch me on a better day. As a “philosophy” (not a kid’s purview to begin with), it’s putting your head in the sand a bit.
Ha ha, figured some people might not like a silly happy Pollyanna-ish song but others might find it nostalgic.
The origin of this theme was actually a kid (mine) trying to figure out how to find an excuse to ride to eat donuts
We were trying to come up with a way to make a week theme that included donuts without just doing a daily pastry. And I remembered that last year’s photo scavenger hunt made me see the world I biked by a little differently when I was looking for some basic things like a specific shape or color. Hence, lines and squares, which sound pretty boring but can potentially change an outlook.
Anyway, glass half empty / glass half full… Watching the donut, not the hole… Just different ways to look at the world, admittedly a little saccharine.
