Light dusting.

 Not inches of white this morning as predicted.

In fact there is very little new snow visible.

That is the storm report.

Also a story in the news on the permanent chemicals

ingested when you eat Lake Erie perch and walleye.

The lakes are not as clean as they used to be.

predicted heavy snow

 talked of a large snow blast all winter, haven’t seen much fall.

It melted as it dropped.

Not a comforting time

As rhe news is filled with armed conflict in many countries.

Can’t we just take it easy.

on the wind

a light patter on the roof this morning..

squirrels are up early.

already birds, squirrels and neighborhood walkers are out  doing their thing.

now we seem to be nearing the last vestiges of winter.

give us a weather turn to meager warmth. 

it won’t break ya.

spring will abound. 

there’s a good prediction.

for now my gracious, old 52 Chevy 3100 truck that cousin Don fixed up to a charm comes to mind. beige I painted with a brush. four on the floor, what a gear shift. a tight positive dream to drive across the Golden Gate Bridge. coming or going. loverly.

To car place

 They’ll fix what’s required as indicated on the car service package.

Doesn’t matter what, it always takes a lot of time.

We sit and read and wait; naturally we wait.

Quiet, no donuts. They quit buying them for clients.

Wrong. There were donuts. 

I thought they were donuts

My wife termed it a pastry.

Not great quality. I ate one.

Also now we can buy their lousy out-of-state plastic packaged donuts out of a tall, blue, robotic standup machine. I’ll call Mike.

Yeah, the world is changing faster.

It is real tough for people living paycheck to paycheck.

Lucky me? that was the name of a jazz tune from the fifties or sixties that i liked when I heard it on the nighttime radio, now it is gone and forgotten.

@@@.  @@@.  @@@

look at the big to-dos, undone.

make another list.

Look ahead.

What do you think?

boat comfort

 light rolling on the wide open.

 cruising galore to the beyond

 a two-cylinder diesel thumper humming along.

800 pounds of steel imported from China, solid as can be. friend of the sea.

clean and dusted, polished Inside.

gleaming as she flashes on the bay.

a reward for care and upkeep.

a 28 foot Monterey when Snort was a shot of booze.

fifty foot Diamondback, powerful 671.

37 ft Tranquility Base, formerly sureptitous 500 Mexicans.

cozy home. friends visited and took a ride in sight of the Golden Gate.

a fine decade.
