We have many signs that get run over here. Perhaps if they said "Please Stop" rather than just Stop, they might pay attention. Not sure why this roadway patch didn't get completed - perhaps our city ran out of asphalt.
This was inspired in my art history class. Our Professor is a print artist and she showed us her portfolio. In it was a piece that had a woman with the word "please" written across her lips. Our Professor told us it meant please listen to me. Mine doesn't exactly mean that. It means whatever you want it to mean because I as an artist have only come to the conclusion that I want it to represent frustration and pain. So take from it what you will.
Also I was tagged so 10 things
1. I just found out how to find out if I was tagged lol
2. This photo made me incredibly nausea.
3. Im not sure if I spelled nausea right..
4. I got a new puppy about a week ago, a pomeranian
5. I'm allergic to pretty much everything, shes the only kind of dog...no animal... I'm not allergic too.
6. Her name is Borla and you will be seeing her in photos soon.
7. No one knows what Borla is so I'll tell you in case you fall into that category, it's the exhaust I have on my car.
8. I'm a car person haha if you couldnt already tell
9. For some reason I capitalize and punctuate a lot on flickr, I don't normally do that.
10. I curse a decent amount in real life as well, I don't really know why I keep it off of here.
Pita is a master of expressions, and this one is her "please, Mom, I've been a good girl," look that she uses to remind me to take her with me when I go out side to take photos or go in to town to do some shopping. She loves to go everywhere with me. What could be more of a cliche than a cute pet pic or "man's best friend" and black and white to boot?

We had a great BTS (behind the scenes) tour of the hyenas at Riverbanks Zoo. We all got turns brushing these guys and boy did they enjoy it.
I know the photos are not that good with the bars and all but the memory was!

Now, this little Ford Fusion was driving down the road with no problem. It did pass me on the right at one juncture. He has a tinted license plate cover. This is the exact location where I was pulled over by a nice LMPD officer who indicated he could not read my plates. He said there was a glare on it and he could not read it 300 ft. away. (Note - the sun was setting at the time). He said the plate cover had some mud on it.
I asked the nice officer if I could get out of the car so he could show me the problem. He said I could.
As I exited the vehicle he grabbed my arm, twisting it, and slammed me into the car and proceeded to cuff me, while stating, "Is this what you like?". I asked why he chose to do that. He said "Because you moved too slow". No, officer. I expect you to be able to see well, hear well and act professionally, as that is your job which you accept a salary for. Your job is not to rough up, bruise and maim individuals you believe you can for the "sport" of it. You were well aware I was not a threat to you and your partner. "Serve and Protect" - remember?
He then said I was being detained and walked me to the back of my car. He took my purse (fanny pack) with him into the patrol car and sat with it over 30 minutes. He did go through my address book as he commented on it's contents when he returned. I suggested to his partner perhaps this officer might want to invest in a good pair of glasses and hearing aids.
He gave me a ticket for "improper display of registration plates". This occurred on Good Friday.
I then drove to Auto Zone with the plate cover. Auto Zone stated they were legal in Kentucky but they did then replace the plate cover with a clear one at my request.
The man at Auto Zone told me he also had a problem, and then went on to tell me about the unlawful searches on others that have occurred here in Louisville. He said men and boys were being bodily searched, unlawfully, by police officers while on the road. This one was fairly recent: youtu.be/LtQG0JlCORI
I met a nice lady today who told me the same thing happened to her, and many of her Church friends. She says they just pay them and don't attempt to fight them, as they want a peaceful existence. Even though they did nothing wrong and the charge was false.
I am inviting others from law enforcement AND the military to visit Louisville - they are welcome to ride in the back seat of my vehicle, hunkered down, if/when the next violation occurs. Without identifying themselves, of course. Let's see if *they* get roughed up. I'm 5/2 and weigh 115 lbs. I wonder if they would do the same to someone who was a male, 6' weighing 250 lbs.
The above car doesn't seem to be having any problems.

Update: 16 November 2018
Appeared in court - with the help of an outstanding Pubic Defender (Christopher Schramm) all charges were dropped. The attorney also advised me of my right to institute legal proceedings against LMPD if I so chose.
It is indeed unfortunate those with any type of hearing, auditory processing or language barriers are not able to be aware of what, exactly, their rights are.

Update: April 14, 2023
In light of the recent horrendous mass shooting here in Louisville, KY this week on April 10, 2023, a good deal of retrospect is due. Sometimes seeing both sides of the fight to survive makes a world of difference. My heart breaks for this community, their families, the deceased but most especially for 26 year old LMPD Officer Nickolas Wilt, a rookie police officer who previously served as an EMT, firefighter, and emergency dispatcher and is now clinging to life today. We have shootings here every day but this one....this one hits home.
To the officers involved in my above encounter with them on April 16, 2018 - I do owe you both my sincerest apologies for what transpired. No harm done and I hope we can all rethink our roles in this world. Life is precious. Value it - I am thankful I am not walking in your shoes and proud that you do. Thank you. I do understand now how unimportant and petty the 04/16/18 incident really was and appreciate the learning opportunity from you all. You are indeed heroes.

Las fotos son de Noviembre del año pasado! Por diversas causas no las hemos podido publicar hasta ahora, aún faltan fotos :)
Almost every day I visit my mother in a nursing home.
Everywhere I look when I’m with her, I see people with Alzheimer. Children who visit their father or mother. Fathers and mothers who have become child again….., who cry out for their own father and mother….., who want to go to work or home….. or say nothing at all….
Oh yes, I want to get old, but….. I do hope my children don’t have to visit me in such a home some day…..

I've doubted to allow comments on this image and my feelings/emotions, but I know it's ok to express your feelings, not only mine, but many others are in the same situation as my mother is, as I am.
It's difficult, you have to except, this is the way it is, I can't change it, neither can anybody else.
And it's my choice to visit her almost every day, I think I have to go to her, 9 out of 10 times she still recognizes me, I see the joy in her eyes when I'm entering the section she is in. I cherish that!
The song in English:
Alzheimer sir, I want to talk to you
with me is still ok, I'm not old
in my brains are no holes
but one day, and that worries me
I have long forgotten about this song
I do not know wenn I sang tonight
but now I have none of it
because now I am good ... and ... and young
enough here to ask you
my problem is really not too big
it's about my last days
it will strike you, so just before my death
Please make a little, a little selection
so I do remember the beautiful things
Wenn I sit in my chair waiting for death
Let me remember my wife
with whom I've made love so many years
with whom I've lived so many hours
I want to remember a little how we made love
because my own body will not show me that nomore
ah I want forget a lot
I know twelve women in a row
at least three of the name I would not know
and the rest is drowning in the gray mush
there is more than enough to take
grab my fears, my sorrow and despair
take them, I will never truly claim
but all beautiful, do not
take my money, my lies and my arguments
and my tone too often injured
but leave to me a few illusions
and the love for my daughter and my son
and one thing you should definitely take
Well once that I'm too cowardly
therefore, I probably I’m a loser
but I implore you: take me fear of the death away
nice and quiet so I can leave the world
with a nod to the girls, without fear
Alzheimer sir, can we talk about that?
because I'm the most afraid of the death
I want pretty quiet leave the world
with a nod to the girls, without fear
