A beaver in Salt Lake City

So yesterday evening when I was working at the Treatment Center a coworker (very excited mind you) asked me to come outside with him to see something...

a beaver.

I know what you are thinking, I was skeptical too... sure there is a beaver outside and... do I know you? (This was like my second day working there and I still consider myself pretty new to the Utah area.)

*Can you see this beautiful pile of leaves?...

*o wait. no. that is a giant beaver. Can you see it's tail facing you?
(and that's part of my coworker standing in the background.)

*I enhanced this photo so you could see it a bit better,
I'm thinking since everyone there was excited to see this
this isn't a normal occurrence in this area...

Pretty cool, overall an awesome day.

*This is a veggie sammie I made on V day because I thought these bean sprouts looked like hearts!

My bangs were getting a bit long. So I chopped and chopped and chopped, like I do every few weeks (I will go back and touch them up over the next day or so).

I cut them like my friend Racheal Caringella said her mom did when she was young, "she would make 'mountains' in my hair, sharply angling the scissors to the right and then to the left." a great technique I've been using for years.

Have a beautiful day, it's so sunny out.

the local store for all your outdoor necessities

This is a young fellow (customer) who slept in the store for most of the morning.

I went to a German Cafe on Main Street yesterday afternoon (during lunch break) and said, "...I'm a Vegetarian, what can I get for 5 dollars?" (I don't have a debit card anymore. or a credit card for that matter... they are coming in the mail) and the lady working was SO awesome, she brought me out this.

I'm going back there in the future, I promise.

*Body bags for the less fortunate.

*This here is Benjamin, he is a painter and a musician who loves working late at night... as you can tell.

*Mike, so cool to talk to because he is so incredibly smart.
(it's kind of scary how much he reminds me of my older brother.)

*Our miniature tents. I like to think that the designer had Barbies in mind when he built these small replicas.
I think they would be a huge hit.

One of my favorite people whom I work with is Brad. He is maybe in his late 40s early 50s with a ton of outdoor knowledge. I think he has taught me a majority of what I have learned since I started working here. Everyone else's advice went in one ear and out the other. We started talking about music and he is SO cool! He started rambling off about the early 80s and that's when I began to really bond with him.

First he asked me what I thought about The Smiths. "What do I think about The Smiths... o my gosh *sigh* so good." He smiled, "good". He then proceeded to tell me how about his favorite songs and how Morrissey's solo stuff is some of the greatest stuff out there. We past on through to Joy Division, New Order, and onto The Cure. He said that their album "Pornography" is their best. Brad...I think you're the best.
