Brrrrrrrrr!! Thanks for freezin' my, er, ah, let's just say I am
having a hard time not slidin' outta my chair. Fingers are icicles, 'cet, yata, 'cet.
As for whether it is fiction, hmmmm. Call it flash or sudden fiction or a long prose poem? Friction?? Don' matter. Got thrills 'n' chills & you end up safe and sound. Determined to stay that way!
Bears came within an inch of a tent we pitched in the Smokies...eeeyiiiikes!! Ray and I hunkered down in the sleepingbag, praying our hearts wouldn't stop. Not a fun time.
I vote for central heat and a picture-postcard view.
Livin' t'tell!!
Keep writing !!!

Two to tango to life and death, cold outside, hmm... warm inside? The brain of the beast reckoned with the camper and strange beasts inside. May be another time and the strangers in the travel trailer would be co-habituated between the beast outside and the dog/human beasts inside. Maybe you could offer a nice pic-a-nic basket to Yogi and boo boo instead of being the pic-a-nic! Provocative and well written. Super stuff, Ed.

Poor little stray kitty cat, looking for a little warmth and food and kindness. I sure hope you open the door next time and let him in.
PS: If someone scratches on your door in the middle of the night at the Holiday Inn, don't open it unless you have plenty of beer you're willing to part with.

JOISEY - EWE SMOKIN' DOPE AGAIN?
GOOD STORY! ALMOST A PERFECT MATCH OF A TRUE STORY I EXPERIENCED YEARS AGO ...
My nephew Jim was piloting his boat, an old Luhr's, the "Ella Covington II" named after my Grand-dad's original, an old "Bug-Eye' ketch - he, nephew Gary, and I had put in at Sandy Point State Park, on the Chesapeake, right next to the 'Bay Bridge'. Went out, just like you stated - perfectly beautiful calm day - did some crabbing with traps, and would have stayed longer, but a Squall came up out of nowhere.
Jim (who passed away a year ago in October . age 43) was a proficient Cap'n, and knew his stuff - he calmly scooted the craft about, so we could gather all our traps quickly -
spun that sucker around and hit both throttles forward, full blast ...
The waves were coming over the bow-sprit like crazy, and it was a race against time!
As he sped toward land, the ominous black clouds were gaining on us - the boat was smacking up n' down like a cork in the water - I was standing behind Gary's seat, and at one point - we got hit so hard that my chest rammed into the back of the seat - almost knocked my arse down!
But, thank God - and - a good seaman - we made it back safely! Aah - LAND HO!
What a Relief it Is! Cuz - TK.

JOISEY - WELL DONE, LADDIE!
While my attraction to Momma H2O can in no way match yours, have always loved being by any body of water - Ocean - Sea - Lake - Pond - River - Creek - Puddle - Rain-Drop - Snowflake - even!
Considering our PERCENTAGE of said liquid in each of our Bodies, perhaps it is the reason for our AFFINITY?
"An average adult body is 50 to 65 percent water -- that's roughly 45 quarts. Men are more watery than women. A man's body is 60 to 65 percent water, compared to 50 to 60 percent for a woman. In infants, the figure is a whopping 70 percent according to statistics compiled by the International Bottled Water Association."
They could be a tad BIASED, but nevertheless:
"Percentage of water making up tissues, organs, fluids and bone in the human body: Brain 75%, Heart 75%, Lungs 86%, Muscle 75%, Liver 85%, Kidney 83%, Bone 22%, Blood 83%, Saliva 95%, Perspiration 95%"

There is nothing more lovely than a spring rain...
the fresh smells in the air, a bit of thunder and lightening
in the distance, so much to be thankful for...
Even to be awake to take it all in is wonderful... I would too!

I wish mom & dad were still alive... (Poetry) - 5/10/2013 6:37:35 PM
Ed,
I can't tell you how many times I've wished I had one more day with my parents, especially my Mama. Mama died at 39 yrs old leaving eight kids behind. She was hit by a car crossing the road. We never had a chance to say goodbye. Daddy died years later. Its hard when you don't have your parents. I also wonder if Mama and Daddy would be proud of me now. If they are looking down and watching over their children. I UNDERSTAND your feeling's , Ed.
Many blessings,
+Linda
Are they ready...? (Poetry) - 5/10/2013 11:10:27 AM
Wise observations. I think that most people will gradually have to move away from the shore. However, we can still go there every summer and enjoy for a few hours, maybe campout and stay longer. But building structures appears to be a losing battle against the relentless sea.

Is it depression... (Poetry) - 5/8/2013 2:33:58 AM
You need to get out more and walk, and you need a hobby. May I suggest vegetable gardening, I find it very therapeutic and very rewarding, and there is nothing like growing your own food.
Is it depression... (Poetry) - 5/7/2013 9:39:26 AM
Yes, it sure sounds like depression, my friend, and I know from personal experience what its like to be there. Maybe when you find a job it will help, but for now perhaps it might be a good idea to seek professional help...my thoughts are with you...
Anna
Is it depression... (Poetry) - 5/7/2013 7:43:22 AM
Yes, that is an accurate description of depression. I have no advice, as I know it all requires that green stuff. What I do is just keep chuggin' every day.
Is it depression... (Poetry) - 5/7/2013 7:32:19 AM
The job would be nice. But you need to have more purpose to get out of depression. I suggest that you refocus all your writing energy toward a novel featuring a wonder dog named Rufus. Have him go through all kinds of adventures and save the day, attracting all the beautiful chicks to his companion and faithful master, Sir Edward.

Is it depression... (Poetry) - 5/6/2013 2:04:57 PM
Do take it seriously. Leave the mask of a clown and maybe chat to the DR, yet oftentimes family and friends are the best to depend upon. BUT TAKE IT SERIOUSLY!
Is it depression... (Poetry) - 5/6/2013 2:01:54 PM
Good idea to get out for a drive as long as you are able to drive safely. Staying at home alone is not good for your health. Activity of some sort like a daily walk can help chase the blues away and increase the appetite. See your doctor if you can not get some food into you. Depression causes many symptoms and should be diagnosed by your doctor promptly. Go see him, it can't hurt but might save your life.

Damned Stomach... (Poetry) - 5/6/2013 4:33:23 AM
I know what you mean, if it isn't a pain in the butt it's a pain in the gut!
Make sure they check for gluten intolerance. I read yesterday from a guy with spinal cord injury that reaction to gluten can cause about 90% of the symptoms that I have, like spasms, tingling and joint pain in the legs and feet.
Good luck on a speedy and correct diagnosis and plan of action for the condition. Unfortunately, you may have to give up some your favorite foods.
Believe it or not, you will grow to love the ones you eat!

Damned Stomach... (Poetry) - 5/5/2013 5:35:13 PM
I've been told by my doctor that I am now a diabetic, too. I refuse to accept that and fight it only with prayer and the power within my own mind. No special diet and no medications. Sometimes I think the docs, though they mean well, over medicated us and cause even more problems than we started out with. Good luck with your appointment, my friend and God bless.
Damned Stomach... (Poetry) - 5/5/2013 5:32:05 PM

Philly soft pretzels... (Poetry) - 5/3/2013 9:02:59 AM
I eat pretzels every day––a small stick variety––about a half handful. One of those soft pretzels, while tempting, is a killer––diabetesville. Have only shared one and that was too much.
I remember when my niece moved back to her childhood home near Philadelphia, remarking, “Can't wait to get some of that Philly cheese steak!” She left there for Fort Worth after a few years, having put several pounds on her previously knockout slim body.

Ed, by sharing this beautiful poem with us
coming from inside of your heart...that connects

as your guide...is the Rainbow Bridge that's
left behind...you moved all our hearts.
Thank you.

You bring back memories of the times my mother made tapioca pudding. But best of all, was the steam pudding my grandmother made in a can, like the hobos did.
By the way, did you know that tapioca comes from the cassava plant, first found in Brazil. If eaten without proper preparation, it can be quite poisonous. I didn't know that until recently. Always thought the tapioca was a common American staple.

In speaking with the car... (Poetry) - 4/25/2013 9:43:58 AM
My father was famous for throwing them away. That looks like Chrysler 300. I kicked myself for not buying a Chrysler 300C back in 1968 with that land speed record look in eggshell white with beige leather interior for the measly sum of $1295. Today, that car with its hemi engine would be worth at least $200,000! I kept my last car for twenty years and put 300,000 miles on it and kept it in good running and body shape.

You’ll be helping your neighbors with munchy blues.

An interesting poem that is, “ not off-the-shelf.” I like that phrase when applied to David Thoreau. I guess he had everything he needed on that shelf to survive. Today we would have to be, “off the grid,” and that would be very difficult for some people so hooked on their electrical and electronic things.
