Beep!

There are many distractions around me.  

Today it's the beeping of a truck that is going in reverse.  "BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!"

Do you know why they do that?  Because of our neighbors who are unable to pay attention to what's going on around them.

Freewheeling

I don't have anything to say this morning.   So why am I posting this?  Because sometimes you just have to freewheel it.  I am just typing.  I am just doing what I do.  I write every morning, or at least try.  It keeps my brain focused.  It keeps me sharp.  It is a way to work through my personal bullshit that I have to deal with.  It's a way to solve problems.  It's a way to work out finances so I can keep my head above water.   Writing can be somewhat therapeutic.  I can't get bogged down in my thoughts, so I need a way to work through them.  That's what writing does.  It helps to think things through, to clarify.   I write short little thoughts here, but they usually start out in my Dump Book.  What is a Dump Book?  It's like a journal except after you write in it you tear the page out and put it in the shredder.  Why?  Because nobody ever has to see it.

Coyote

I had an encounter with nature yesterday.   It just came out of the woods, wandered around for a minute, then disappeared back into the brush. A coyote in Portland Maine is not something you see very often.  Absolutely beautiful.
