So a crazy thing happened to me. I was on my way to class in Baton Rouge and an oil company truck lost its trailer on the interstate right in front of me. It ripped the front corner of my car off and she is now totaled. The reason I am sharing this is because when I went to get my belongings out of the car in a little Louisiana town where it ended up, the dealership had the most beautiful Butia odorata in the parking lot. It had a gorgeous tapered trunk and it looked like it naturally shed its boots. I was really down and out but this really brightened up my day! It's funny how little things like that can really change your mood.
