After a couple of weeks of brutal cold, no small amount of mundane paperwork and to-do's, and a brutal kickboxing workout last night, let's just say I was feeling a bit meh today. That's actually quite unlike me, I'm usually more of a Perky Pepper than a Diminished Dwight in my bearing, but by about March I have sorta had it with the grey.
You see, mud season officially kicked off this week, AKA break up. No, it's not the latest drama on Netflix, break up is the annual thawing of North Idaho. Truckers love break up, well love to hate it I imagine, because during the thaw we get load limits and speed limits on our roads. My driveway becomes a mud bog, which has an added bonus of giving my car a lovely patina that ironically preserves its life, as none of the new people in our area in their shiny new cars want to park next to this:
Anyway, one nice thing about where I live is I can count on the pure awesomeness of the people, places, and things around me to enliven my mood if it is every perilously low. And guess what! This sight right here did just that:
I mean, just look at this vehicle! The touch up paint job on this late model sedan made my whimsical heart sing. In one red and yellow instance my mud season blahs were banished in a flame of purely amused glory!
As if the sighting couldn't get any better, it went and did! There were a pair of eyeballs on the back quarter panel, eyeballs, lol! The sheer creativity and don't give a damness about what society thinks is cool just slapped me in the happy matter of my consciousness.
I mean, most of the vehicles I see these days tend to be like this one that was parked across from the Flaming Not Ferrari:
That yellow checking account robber can't even compete with the FNF when it comes to sheer presence. All I see when I look at that vehicle there is a future warranty claim on a faulty, overpriced transmission. My eyes were immediately drawn back to the non-generic beauty that was the FNF.
If things keep up this way, I think I am going to get through mud season just fine.😁
And as most of the time, all of the images in this post were taken on the author's also slightly dusted in mud as well, iPhone.
