Took a load of 'stuff' over to the dump on this hot and humid day. Strange assortment of 'doo rags on the city workers heads - auto wished I'd brought the camera.

We (Jon, Mom and I) headed for Bin 44 with our truckload of logs from a magnolia we took down this year. Awaiting us in the rust covered metal monstrosity was an earlier dumping from some re-doing the whole house lucky bastard. The bin was full of windows. Lots and lots of windows.

Jon and I were suddenly quite chipper despite the hellish heat. We lobed logs through the air and chuckled as each one smashed more and more glass. Smash, smash, smash. We both pouted when we reached the end but smiled once again as we looked over the devastation we left behind in Bin 44. Smile, smile, smile.

Life will deal you some unexpected pleasures. You just have to have the sense to recognize them for what they are.

I Love The Sound Of Breaking Glass
Lyrics by Nick Lowe
 

I love the sound of breaking glass

Especially when I'm lonely

I need the noises of destruction

When there's nothing new

Oh nothing new, sound of breaking glass

I love the sound of breaking glass

Deep into the night

I love the sound of its condition

Flying all around

Oh all around, sound of breaking glass

Nothing new, sound of breaking glass

 

Oh all around, sound of breaking glass

Nothin new, sound of breakin glass

Safe at last sound of breaking glass

 

I love the sound of breaking glass

Deep into the night

I love the work on it can do

Oh a change of mind

Oh change of mind,

sound of breaking glass

All around, sound of breaking glass

Nothing new, sound of breaklng glass

Breaking glass, sound of breaking glass

 
Sound of breaking glass
