Pride

Water Park

My heart warmed with pride today, because last year this little boy was terrified of the water and would barely get close enough to stick his toes into the wading pool.

Although my neighbor and her son moved away a while ago, I’ve stayed in touch and enjoy visiting and being considered a “part of the family”. Over the past year, I’ve had a lot of talks with him about the water. About lakes and oceans, beaches and swimming pools. In June, I convinced him to take a swim class, which he agreed to as long as I came with him.

And look at him. A day at the water park and he had a blast. It wasn’t a big water park, and it wasn’t a big slide. But he did it on his own and was smiling both as he landed in the water, and as he waded out of the pool.

I consider that a success.

Amusement

Jackass Towing Because I saw this logo on the side of a tow truck today.

The license plate was Canadian, which means they probably towed someone down from over the border. I can’t even imagine how much a towing fee might cost from British Columbia to Seattle, WA… but it has to be pretty hefty.

In truth, this is the second amusing towing company I’ve run across from up north. They also having a towing company up there named “Aggressive Towing” that has a fleet of very pretty, always shiny aqua green trucks.

Clearly, Canadian tow truck companies have a good sense of humor.
