It had slacked off by the time I left for town thank goodness. I drove through standing water to get out this morning which is, I must say, much easier in a higher up vehicle. No telling how many flood trips that old Camry made over the years.
I haven't bought a book in years since the days I walked festivals with my buddies in Nashville. That's where I got to know Clyde Edgerton, Lee Smith and a whole lot of others. You can drop 200 bucks in a heartbeat. I bought kids classics for Lauren like Polar Express signed by the author. I saw Larry Brown publish a darkly accurately story of rural America. He came to his session drunk and when I read the book Joe I understood. He died a short time later. All of this is to say this....I ordered Rick Bragg's new one today plus a colorful kids popup tent. Hey...you can't take it with you. These are immediate needs for my sanity!
When I checked the mail there was another book there delivered for my friend Hippie. It's something historical I think. I have talked to LP twice today and it's nice to hear her a bit more rested. Maybe not by miracle, but she dodged a bullet. I am so proud of her I could just die, but then that would make her sad. *snort*
I have lived to see the ozone destroyed by a greedy oil industry which has fought like a cat to knock down natural sources of power. The industrial age has not been good to us or delivered what we knew as children, even. I get it: if I want to stay warm or go I have to have gas but there are soooooo many other options out there in alternative fuels. How about milo ya think? It's a start. Solar panels. There is a huge market for renewables in our day and time. If goes goes to 4 bucks a gallon because a pipeline was shut down, I will pay it. But I won't blame it on the Democrats.
Peace out kids ^j^
