Nature's Wonders

In my nearly 30 years of life, I've seen of nature's most tremendous wonders. I've seen a bald eagle soaring magestically and finally perching in his nest. I've hiked many trails and have stared in awe as Old Faithful delivered its hourly chore. I've swam in tropical waters with dolphins and seen giant sea turtles as they glide through the sea. Today I experienced something that would rival these wonders of nature. I heard a man use the phrase "Well, what the hay..." in a sentence. How could something so extinct, something so strange-sounding, so 1950's make it in a natural conversation in 2009? Cashier: Sir, would you like to large-size it for an extra $ .40? Man: Well, what the hay...

What the hay indeed! I've never heard that used ever. Now I can cross that one off my list. My list still consists of corny phrases that I've still to experience. But that's another blog.
