Today Michelle took her nursing test and passed with flying colors...like there was any doubt. She had to take the test down I-95 in Lumberton, NC. I have always called everything to our immediate south "The Pictish Wilderness". The people are nice but I always see something bizarre when I follow a compass heading of 180...today I hung out at a Hardee's reading Tacitus' Agricola for an hour while Michelle blasted through the written part of her test. I saw about a hundred high school kids on their way to a horse race dressed in loud colorful pants and bowties.
I did not wake up that morning expecting to see that....
I made my way into downtown Lumberton looking at the Cold War style architecture wondering if it was actually Depression-era architecture. This car (late 90s vintage) cruises by with some old man waving at anyone he sees. Then I witnessed a police car start travelling the wrong way down a one way street. He realized his mistake, hit the lights and backed up...very strange sight.
What is it about downtown streets in every city? Lots of one way streets that confuse everyone.
I went back to the place Michelle was taking her test and hung around on the bottom floor with my pal Tacitus.
Like I said, Michelle passed with no problem.
I knew she would.
It was after all, April 2, the anniversary of me giving her ring at Heinz Field.
Plus she studied......
