Thursday, May 13th, 2010Thanks Mike for this re-post.
Jake, the rancher, went one day to fix a distant fence;
the wind was cold and gusty and the clouds rolled gray and dense.

Gore Pass, Colorado
Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009With a bright, sunny sky over our heads we left for our first excursion in awhile.

Sunday, July 27th, 2008I was at the corner grocery store buying some early potatoes.

hungrily apprizing a basket of freshly picked green peas.

I am a pushover for creamed peas and new potatoes. Pondering [...]
They Walk Among Us
Thursday, July 24th, 2008I was at the checkout of a K-Mart. The clerk rang up a $46.64 charge. I gave her a fifty dollar bill. She gave me back $46.64. I gave the money back to her and told her that she had made a mistake in MY favor. She became indignant and informed me she was educated [...]
