"hooblie" = mark of excellence
Everybody wakin' up from siesta? (Like moi.)
Went to sleep with tired eyes
& dreamt of wicked pumpkin pies
Now Ma Nature springs her surprise--
Dark clouds replacing sunny skies.
But it's still 75° out there.
So it's a warm storm, not likely another Hammer of God nor even close,
more like, say, neebee's #8 bright.

Dances With Paint Brushes
I've a friend who I've known five years at least
Living and painting very far to the east
She sends her friends presents, though she shops with thrift,
But it's really herself that she sends with each gift.
Elizabeth = "gift of God"
edit: WOW!! Simulposting!

Swell!

--Fatz
Reporting in the interest of Flames solidarity, I am in contact with
the felonious, the onliest,
RON ANDERSON.
He's okay now, but won't be able to work any longer. We suffer from the same debilitating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, COPD, or, as I sometimes call it, "the mouthful malady."
His case is more dire than mine, however. He very nearly "went into agriculture" recently and is now resident in his old place in Mound Town.
My very best has been sent already, but a few heartfelt prayers for the sinner,
the wretch,
the ne'er-do-well,
the miscreant,
the unforgiven,
the banned-from-ST soul would not hurt any more than,
say tying his shoes,
which dang-it can take several minutes at his present stage.

Thinking of MooseDrool out in Cochise Stronghold tonight.
Watching this flick from '36.
Giving it a six out of ten.
Buster's headband convinces me to give it the six instead of five.
Sweet dreams, Moose.

Pyre
I am the driftwood
Drifting to the ocean beach
Dried by the sun
My weathered knots
Hardened by the salted brine
My withered shanks
Were once a pine
And now I lie in sun supine
And wait on silted bar
The moss a gray green on my side
The lupine in the grass grows near
And tells me quietly
Do not fear
The shadowy night
It's death and grows near
It is only a door
A passageway to sunlit coronas
The way for all to fire and power
You are driftwood after all
You are the light

Light my fire, bushman.
Perfect end to a pretty good day.
Pocoloco1, the goods are here. Can't thank you enough.
I left a couple of jars with Veronica the Cinema waitress, who was eager to try it out. El Guapo, Gerardo, will have one for himself, as well.
Planning on making a batch of Fiery Fudge--will tell you of the results.
N so to bed.

Sleep eludes me once again...I think it might be gas.
It's getting tiresome but I ain't bored.
Wonder Of the World
While wandering in wilder Ness
Among long lochs long lost in childhood
Watching maybe for woodpeckers
One never wanted for wonder
Wee ones would while away time
With worthless occupations
(worthless to their elders that is)
Which is what will happen again
When they’ve wasted away their lives
(according to some)
Becoming old
And perhaps in the way
In the way of what? of whom?
Of the Progress, O Progress!
Of yet younger ones
Waiting their turn
These old children will tell them nothing
These young ones don’t already know
Ah, the wind in the willows
The water-bound weepy willows!
Witness the waves rushing shoreward
Washing away what once was
Among the reeds the rushes and the withies
Without wind water waves
Nothing is renewed
When the red robin bobs and weaves
Among the weeds and reeds and pleads
For worms and seeds
He will be dining on
The wonders of the past
--Water Rat
