spending my tax-free weekend with a book from the library

barely dawn and I've already misquoted myself

"Of course the government and the newspapers lie. But in a democracy, they're not the same lies."

~Steve Jackson



"Love is like war: easy to begin but very hard to stop."

~ Henry Louis Mencken (1880-1956)

the summer heat returns with the US vs Wikileaks

worth more than gold or silver the sight of a gray wolf roaming the rockies

bp exit strategy a little mud and cement and we're outta here

unregulated airspace almost anything that flies drawn to the bee balm

space quakes something else my homeowner's insurance won't cover

some trick of morning light lets the aging birdhouse change back into a tree

beginning of august the wall calendar looking like someone zapped it in the microwave
