Pre-dawn
Well, do you know why I came here tonight?
To buy a board, I could cut in broad daylight
I was so scared that I stood there impaired
Caught up in their marketing lair
Christmas to the left of me
Halloween to the right
There I was, stuck in the middle with no clue
Yes, I was stuck in the middle. Couldn’t move!
Got Cheez?
Dusk on the Rio Grande pretending to be a lake.
Pre-dawn with the moon shining through clouds
While cleaning and organizing, I found another tub of cassette tapes. Does anyone remember cassette tapes?

“Argh! I’m going to get you, Gwendolyn!”
“Shut your trap, Pumpkin Head! You don’t scare me. But that Christmas stuff? AAAAHHH!
Marble the warrior kitty: “I’ll take care of that stinking Pumpkin Head, and make him smell good, too!”

Duo Cheezo
When Glenda eats cheese, she licks as much out or more of the dish as she eats. I put the dish I use to cover the cheese in front of Glenda to catch her mess and put it back into the bowl when she’s done. Loki figured out he could eat Glenda’s spillover instead of butting in on Marble’s cheese. When Marble was finished, Silver joined Loki.

High winds from this storm last night broke a huge branch off Teagan’s tree, pulled the lower powerline to within inches of our fence, and the lines started arching in the trees. My neighbor alerted me of the problem early this morning. Fire department staff stood out and watched the cottonwoods south of the broken branch catching fire and going out from the arcing powerline into late afternoon before the tree trimmers showed up to cut the tree back.
The branch is on the right. It’s hard to see between the irrigation ditch and our fence in the bamboo. The branch is about 12 inches (30.48 cm) thick.
A zipper spider blocked one of the deck doors last night. She had packed up and moved on when I checked on her this morning.

I pray this bottle
capped up so tight
will loosen up
So I can jug tonight
If you can hear me
Though cats are held low
can you slap some sense
into that Paparazzo?
“Well? Did you feel anything?”
Water, but not enough to irrigate
“Stupid water!”
