Ok for me, it would be looking out my front door, down by our pine trees where almost every evening we have fireflys flashing on and off... on and off... on and off... We live out in the county 8 miles from the closest town and 1/4 mile from the closest neighbor and 3/4 mile from the next closest neighbor, and then over a mile from the next closest neighbor....

And of course with the prominent Western theme, every morning and evening when I go out to feed, water and do 'what-ever' with my horses (23 of them) ... and hear them eating... sneezing, and stomping.. and the occasional Whinney, (horses never whinney as much as depicted in the movies....) I think of Fire fly...

And then finally....

I am a crack shot with a rifle.... and not bad with a 'scatter gun' (if any of you also watch John Wayne Westerns... what movie was that from???? )

AND...

if I'm close enough... I am pretty good with a pistol..... (357 Magnum is actually my preference)... My preference up close though is a shotgun... My preference at a distance is a rifle... so of course I think of the premier episode Serentity... When he met with Patience?? on Whitefall??? (I have only watched these episodes through once or twice)... So please bear with my nievete' "sp"... and my newness...

When Jayne was behind the sights of the sniper rifle... It just brought back vivid memorys... I was in the army and had the 250 Meter target in site many times... and got it most every time...(the drill seargents started refering to me as Cochise) I was an expert shot...

This scene almost made me fell like I was laying there in the prone position, stock pressed firmly against my right shoulder, looking through the site, being very conscious of my inhaling and exhaling.. to anticipate when I may have to 'take my shot'... looking first at Mal, and Zoe to make sure 'MY' people were ok.... (OK... fantasizing a little about what would happen if Mal wasn't in the picture and I would get the chance to 'be in charge...') But then realizing Mal is the leader, 'MY CAPTAIN' and, I am looking to the 'bad guys' to see if they were playing by the rules... I could take them out from this distance and protect my captain.... and Zoe, who ( I suspect) ... he respects... (Even thought he wansn't a 'Brown Coat'...

Well, I've been awfully Long winded this morning.....

Have a great day...

Leah... "Ro"

"Back in 1998, the premise for The Truman Show, in which the entire life of one man is broadcast worldwide as a hit television show, was just fantastical enough to seem slightly beyond reality – these days, not so much."

As I read the last sentence, I could hear our cap'n speaking.

Well, not our Serenity, but it did read “serenity” as the sender. The message ended up to be spam about mood swing medication.

I have not been home since you left long ago
thumbing my way back to heaven [...]
I cant be free
with what's locked inside of me
if there was a key,
you took it in your hands
there's no wrong or right,
but I'm sure there's good and bad
the questions linger overhead [...]
all the rusted signs
we ignore throughout our lives
choosing the shiny ones instead
I turned my back
now there's no turning back [...]
I smile, but who am I kidding?
I'm just walking the miles
every once in a while get a ride
thumbing my way back to heaven
