It's Labor day and garbage day

Remember the song " Yakity Yak?" The first line was "Take out the papers and the trash or you don't get no spending cash." I enjoy getting the garbage out on the curb because I won't see it after it is picked up. It is an inner satisfaction of knowing the trash is gone which makes my day wonderful.

I heard the paper being dropped around 4:30 this morning. I have no idea of what the weather is like outside. I know there is a hurricane heading to Louisiana named Gustav. I don't know if Hanna is a tropical storm or Hurricane making a pathway up the East Coast of Florida. What I only know for now is the air conditioning unit in my house. I know the warm cup of coffee which I am really enjoying the flavor. The refrigerator unit takes the place of a cricket inside the house. I can hear in the distance sounds of a summer crickets.

I saw yesterday an ideal moment to take a picture. However, I did not have my camera with me. It was just an ordinary pelican on top of a wooden post inside of the boating dock area. I am kind of fascinated by pelicans. They are so big and walk like a lumber jack. Yet, the gracefulness of their flight is so beautiful. I have compared it to a ballet. Riding the air currents with the wing spread out so far, the pelicans touch only air. The legs are retracted back like the wheels of a plane taking off into flight. One day while I was watching the pelicans fly, I noticed it was harder for them to land when the wind was real strong. They just want to keep riding the air waves like a surfer would ride the water waves.
