Downtown Stevens Point, in autumn.
Well, I sold My PS one, for 35 bucks this morning, so, I went downtown to put my money in my checking account. I took the bus downtown, (It was raining, and we UWSP students get to ride for free, had a nice conversation with the driver, and got off at the bank and did my buisness. I then walked around, bought an organig apple at the farmer's market for lunch, stopped by the computer store to see if someone I knew was in, he wasn't si I perused a beautiful independet bookstre, bought some chocolate tobacco for my pipe at the head shop. They had several beautiful hookahs available to smoke. I'll have to try it sometime. I walked past this pet supply store, and up to the door walked this beautiful grey and white cat, who looked up at me and meowed. I couldn't resist. I went in and met the store's "official greeter". It made me wish even more that I could have a kitty in my dorm. Damn, it felt good to pet a cat again. After I left, I found a twenty dollar bill blowing around, so I caught a bus to the grocery store, and bought a bottle of whiskey.

Even though, it's a little crappy out, I'[ve been having a good day.

Traditionally brewed and lagered over the winter.

4. Cherish these days
Never let yourself get so bogged down in responsibilities that you can't take a day like this once in a while.

I went to visit my friend one spring, and in my amazement I blurted "your litter is flower blossoms!" I did not see any litter anywhere, but the streets were covered with flower pedals. It was so beautiful. Make sure to hang out in the "stogie stop." Many great people hang out there.
