Westley's dad wore a "Daddy Shark" shirt and glanced at his phone to check a photo he just took of his son. Westley held up one of his presents for all to see. It was a Lego Creator box. Westley wore a Tigers shirt. Just behind his head were the letters, "BIR" as part of a "Happy Birthday sign. Because of bad planning, Westley's birthday cake had only a single candle. That candle was lit and ready to be blown out. Westley picked up his fork and was about to have his cake and eat it too. As he rode his bike, he rode further with each loop around the cul-de-sac. His bike ride became the fitting end to his 2019 Birthday.

Campfire, As Mythological Combustion, By Dorena Reservoir, Lane County, Oregon
|
|
|
|
In a clearing behind all the tables, a roaring fire was present as well as sharpened sticks and a cabinet filled with marshmallows, graham crackers, and chocolate squares. The top layer of logs were only partly burned. Viewed end on, the flames rose through the gap between them. The campfire provided a handy place to warm one's chilled hands mid morning at camp. A tower of logs stacked in a fire pit at Caswell campsite, had been lit earlier and were now a roaring campfire. A pile of logs burned down in the fire pit at the campsite that night while music was played on a harmonics and ill-tuned voices sang songs of old.
