On the Tracks - Random Friday

1.  Another picture from the photo album at my grandmother's house.  I love everything about it - the rustic building to the left, the expressions on their faces, and the train tracks.  My grandmother said the guy in the middle is "Uncle Tom", and that he was quite the ladies' man.  Again, this is likely from the 1940s.

2.  Paul was up in the woods chopping wood, and a log rolled onto a recent deer carcass.  I guess it got away from a hunter.  Or else someone was poaching (we are not hunters and do not allow hunting on our land).  At any rate, Paul decided he wanted the antlers for decoration, and he did this really barbaric thing and cut off the deer's head.  Reid saw him carrying the head back and said, "Dad, why did you cut off the reindeer's head?"  I'm pretty sure Santa is going to be MAD when he finds out.

3.  During a recent head cold, I talked to the pharmacist and was convinced to stop buying the stuff on the shelf and spring for the stuff behind the counter.  The 'good stuff' involves having your license scanned and electronically signing documents.  I felt like a criminal for buying that Sudafed, but boy does it ever work better than the stuff in the aisles! 

4.  It's been almost a year since my last haircut.  My hair is looking pretty awful.  Haircuts are a luxury, though, so I don't get it cut very often.  I'm trying to decide if I just want to trim up all the mess when I go, or if I want to donate this time around.  I really hate my hair short, so I'm tempted to trim it and keep growing.

5.  Time for me to stop procrastinating and go get on the treadmill for a run.  What are you up to today, readers?
