I inadvertently gave a ride to this the other day.

 

 

 

I was cruising with some classical music on, because I’m super cool like that, I looked up to the rear view mirror* and WHOA.  Someone was not invited!   We call this “esperaza” in Spanish, which translates directly to “hope”.

I know it’s a grasshopper in plain English, but it’s the beginning of the year.  There’s a lot of things we’ll be working for and looking forward to and just for one day, I don’t care about technical translations:  I gave a ride to a little “hope” and it was wonderfully symbolic.

 

 

 

*(the rear view mirror inside my car, this picture was taken after I negotiated with the friend.  The negotiation included some coaxing using a sun protector and a lot of soothing words.)
