this first photo is of a complete stranger that i *met* while stopped at a traffic light today. he must have seen me snapping pictures of the clouds, so when i glanced his way he mouthed “take a picture of me”, so i did. i live for moments like these, serendipitous moments with strangers that are not weirdos.
after the light turned green, i turned left and spotted a turkey just sitting on the side of the road like that’s what turkeys do all the time. i turned the go-cart around, and took some pictures of the turkey.
later i met my mom, my sister (angel), hello kitty, hk’s mom, and more candor for an early mother’s day dinner at a mexican restaurant. the restaurant was so mexican-authentic in that you really could not drink the water due to a water main leak in the area.
shortly after i arrived at the restaurant, the waiter came to get my drink order, i requested tea. he came back shortly with a cup of water. i shared my confusion with my dinner mates and they confirmed that i had indeed ordered tea.
the waiter came back, and i asked him if they had tea and he said yes. he explained about the water problem, and that they had to boil the water to make tea. i felt guilty for asking for my tea. this also explained the fact that we were given plastics utensils and paper plates to eat with. i guess they couldn’t wash the dishes in bad water.
