Morrease the Ghost
I see the empty spaces in the photos. Chairs sit without inhabitants, tables without entrees. They’re in my dream. Yet, the music plays on…bach on cello. Strings eerily move by themselves. I wait for the body to materialize. But it doesn’t, not this time. He doesn&rsquo/… Read full post »
Mermaid & Genie & A Thing Called Hope
"Wet feet are nature’s beauty,” so said the mermaid as she gazed at her tail. Determined to change her fate she wiggled her nose, cupped her hands over the evil eye charm, blinked three times and wished for feet and wound up intercepting a distress call from Satifah as she… Read full post »

I noticed the censorship… Read full post »
Waiting for G
Futuristic Perspective of the Fuel Crisis
In the rain-ish dew we sit waiting for a gas truck from Texas. People are stomping their feet and cursing. So many stations went out of business and bankrupt cause of the rising fuel costs and many couldn’t take the heat of a restless crowd. B… Read full post »CNG - The Other Kind of Gas
With gas prices nearing $5.00/gallon all summer I've been studying natural gas, CNG for months and considering getting the Honda GX Natural Gas car . It's been looking better and better. CNG is only about a $1.75 a gallon and even cheaper if you have a home filling station.&… Read full post »

How To Become Light And Breezy, In Other Words Dumb
There comes a time when every deep thinker must realize that we live in a world that is dumb and getting dumber by the day. The dopes have won. Say it fast, say it slow. Say it again until you believe it like them. But don’t lift a finger thinking about… Read full post »
