319 & 318

So long story short, I had to take home some of this ^^^^  black, scratch-off-to-reveal-many-colors paper to cut out shapes for work.  When the sisters saw this, they wanted to scratch off the scraps.  I told them that they had to help cut out umbrellas if they wanted to scratch.  I felt like a regular, ol' Tom Sawyer.

I feel old just thinking this, but I remember when gas was $0.99/gallon.  This is a line at North Ave and Harlem Ave for $3.98/gallon.  A LINE FOR $3.98.  Madness.  Absolute madness.


On another, non-picture related note, I need some prayers.  More specifically, I need some prayers for my mom.  Guidance, strength, the whole gamut.  Thanks.
