Bus-Stop Dancing

What do people do while waiting for the bus?

Some sit and shiver. Some try to read. Some watch the passing traffic. Others pace about and peer down the street.

But one young man plugs his music into his ears.....and this man ~dances~! Exuberantly dipping and spinning, he does energetic jazzy bop break sorts of moves.

He's the bus-stop dancer, and he enjoys his wait.

City Sounds

Click-clack, click-clack, click-clack:
happy sound of reindeer hooves on city roofs.

Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock:
sound of clock relentlessly marking off time until Highway 40 closes.

Cha-ching, cha-ching, cha-ching:
happy sound of steadily increasing value of city houses.

A Match Made in Heaven

Here is a parish that needs some additional priests: St. Stanislaus, the Catholic parish that refused to turn their money and property over to the Harshbishop.

Here are some priests who need a parish: Rose Marie Hudson and Elsie Hainz McGrath, who were recently ordained as Catholic priests.

Now that would be a heavenly match!

The Clean Machine...

Oh, yuck!.....what kind of vehicle was it on Grand spewing clouds of thick exhaust smoke?

Cars behind it slowed 1) to avoid being enveloped in the gaspy cloud, and 2) because it was difficult to see well enough to pass it.

It was, ironically, the city street cleaning vehicle.
