State moves to ban fake testicles on vehicles
By Michael Peltier

TALLAHASSEE, Florida (Reuters) - Senate lawmakers in Florida have voted to ban the fake bull testicles that dangle from the trailer hitches of many trucks and cars throughout the state.

Republican Sen. Cary Baker, a gun shop owner from Eustis, Florida, called the adornments offensive and proposed the ban. Motorists would be fined $60 for displaying the novelty items, which are known by brand names like "Truck Nutz" and resemble the south end of a bull moving north.

The Florida Senate voted last week to add the measure to a broader transportation bill, but it is not included in the House version.

In a spirited debate laced with double entendre, Senate lawmakers questioned whether the state should curtail freedom of expression in vehicle accessories.

Critics of the ban included the Senate Rules Chairman, Sen. Jim King, a Jacksonville Republican whose truck sported a pair until his wife protested.

The bill's sponsor doubted it would succeed.

"It's probably not going to make it through the process," Baker said on Thursday. "It won't be much of story in a few days."

***I'm moving, and there's a party at work... I've been busy and I'm sorry for not posting a "real" post. These things ^ have made me crazy for about 2 years. Anytime I've seen someone with it, I can't quite believe it. Gross. Hope you enjoy;-)

Summah in the Citeh

Lunch in the city, originally uploaded by lilwilli.

Woo! I figured out my favorite thing about working downtown...

I can walk to the park on my lunch break, spend the whole 60 minutes outside in the sun reading.. It changed my whole day:)

I believe I will be taking more photos!

I realized today that I no longer have summer break

I was supposed to work on another one of those sunset photos, but I forgot the file. This is in the bottom of my office building. The metal paneling always looks pretty cool (you would be able to tell more if I had taken it with an actual camera, seriously I have to stop the camerphone from taking over).

Anyhooo.. I know it's a little more PSed than I usually do, but I think it made the photo a little more interesting. Feel free to disagree:)

Cinnamon rolls and Brownies for breakfast

I saw this semi passing me and thought it was amazing how the sunlight was hitting the side of his truck. No worries, I just stuck my camera at the window and shot it (I was not looking through the view finder, and I consider this much less dangerous than READING while driving).

There may be quite a few sunset photos in the next few days.. This was the first time I've seen a sunset in quite a few months (I hate winter) so I couldn't stop taking photos.

As always, looking for crit:) Enjoy!

Saturday mornings are my favorite

Last saturday this is what I woke up to.. G touching my nose and my mouth. I open my eyes and smile, even though it's 7am. How can you possibly be mad at this? I had to get a photo, but I didn't want her to stop being just how she was. I grabbed my cameraphone (yes, again I know) and she went to grab it just like she had been touching my face.

Forgive me for the poor quality, but I had to share this adorable photo. She is so precious:)

Happy Friday everyone!

Too long in between

Really, I have to get this under control.

Really, I want to post. Unfortunately life is in my way right now.

This was on my way home from work the other day.. I was taking this as a JPEG submission until I realized my cell phone does not take big enough photos to submit. Either way I thought this was/ is kind of a fun little photo. Nothing to interesting.. Just sorta like the composition(?)

Dunno, but here is something at least:)

The sun can shine...

Buddy had surgery again. He hates it when he only gets walked in the courtyard, it makes him very sad.

I took this with my cameraphone. I really agree with the statement (that I read somewhere, but can no longer remember where) that it's not about the camera, it's about the person with the camera.

I've got to keep posting. The weather is finally getting beautiful and I'm about to move. My posting may be sporadic, but I'm determined.

:)

again with the snow

more SNOW, originally uploaded by lilwilli.

It's not snowing today (thank god) but this was only two weeks ago.. Yes, that's right the END of MARCH! I couldn't believe it..

It's been awhile.. I have about 5 more I want to post. Here's one at least.
