Things I Saw In Auburn

Tonight while driving through Auburn during the most beautiful dusky time of the evening, when the air is glowing soft-pink and the earth is radiating a healthy green and the two comingle to make simultaneously the most calming and exciting palate ever seen, on my five minute drive to rent a movie I saw: 1) a newly constructed two-story office building titled "The Auburn Towers" 2) a sweaty athletic-built man pushing an over-sized tractor tire down the street while running. The tire faultered, with great effort the man set the tire straight again, and continued his push down the street 3) a mid-sized television set that appeared to be in perfect condition sitting alone in the middle of an empty sidewalk, its cord laying aimlessly behind it. The world is an amusing place. . . especially for the easily amused.

I had a similar experience, but in the morning. I was reveling in the fresh coolness of it all (actually on the way to a beautiful friend's house for a trip to the river).
At a red light, a man walked by with a belly that looked physically impossible, both for its size and the amount of hair on it. I didn't wonder why he had taken his shirt off. Some thoroughbreds are bred to be seen.
But it was the backside that was truly compelling. The belly made it impossible for his pants to be pulled up all the way. And as the sun rose one ribbon at a time over the canyon and the river I would soon be swimming in, I had the privilege of observing 5 inches of the hairiest butt crack known to man.

If only a picture had been taken to post here.
