Weird Tucson

\

Walking to the bus yesterday and I saw this. Just a little chair on a side of a wall. Weird.

The (Penultimate) Last Supper

Just some chicken wings, mac & cheese bites, and friends at ATL Wings. You gotta try their seasoned wings. Delicious. And I'm definitely going back. But maybe after my retakes, the first of which is tomorrow morning.

Ben's Bells

For those looking for a quick way to help the community and break out your grade school art skills, try going to Ben's Bells Project. The goal of Ben's Bells is to spread kindness in the community. They create wind-chimes that serve as a visual reminder to be kind. There is also many mosaic murals around Tucson that have kindness themes to them. While Patrick and I were there, we painted "kindness coins," a little flower-shaped ceramic piece. And soon they'll be part of some wind-chime!

My View Today

Just me, laying on a bench by the turtle pond, in 100 degree heat.

Hobbling to Ice Cream

This little bugger made me walk in my leg brace all the way to the ice cream shop and ate my ice cream. I guess it was more like a hobble than a walk but it was well worth the struggle. The caramel was delicious and the mint was super minty. I suggested we do an ice cream tour of Tucson in addition to our quest for the best burger and best burrito. I can never say no to ice cream.

Just Watched: Top of the Lake

Netflix account people (or people who steal someone else's account)--listen up! I just finished Top of the Lake, a BBC produced series that takes place in a rural New Zealand town. Robin, the main character and a detective, returns to her hometown after many years in Australia. She takes on the case of a missing 12-year-old girl who turns out to be pregnant. She has to deal with her haunted past as well as the case. It's very good if you like crime shows and exquisite scenery. And I just absolutely adore everything Robin wears--except for her Uggs. But still, it's only one season and worth a watch.

Fourth of July Fireworks

After being bed-ridden (or more like couch-ridden) the past week after surgery, it felt very devious and sneaky leaving the house for an hour or two. We packed up my ice machine and crutches and headed to ENR2 to see the fireworks over A Mountain. Patrick set up his camera and took some really nice pictures of the fireworks. Some showed the shadow of A Mountain, right behind the skyline. While my picture is not that good, I was just so glad to be out of the house and that Patrick planned our adventure.
