Happy Clouds, Opus 1

Be joyous in life…
For it gives us the opportunity
To love
To work
To create
To play
And to look up at the clouds!

Confusion at the Pump

Two New Mexico State Police officers try and figure out how to use a gas pump.  They apparently were absent when “Gas Pump 101” was covered at the police academy.

Being fair to the officers… the problem was the pump would not accept their state police debit card.   They had to take care of it inside.  But it did make an interesting photo.
