We may stand here gazing at the scope of these giant redwoods, surely a present vision of the hope of eternity. How many centuries have they seen and how many more will they endure? They’ve seen the best and now the worst of us–disregarding nature’s importance.
The night is murky
Goblins lurking
Watch your step up the lane
Creepy figures there remain
Hiding by the grave stones there
If you walk by, go with care
Feel a pulling or hear a creak
Making your knees go weak
It is best to hurry by
Otherwise you just might
Be the next year’s Halloween
Ghostly encounter seen.

This song came on my Pandora site as I was getting ready this morning. Immediately I thought this is what Trump’s people must be thinking.

Trying to act nonchalant, Joe assembled the logs in the way of his BoyScout Days, insuring there would be a good fire burning soon. He planned it carefully with a safe boundary being the pond. He was careful to use the driest wood in the clearing and after a few attempts, the flames started to glow.
He wanted it to be a success to impress her. Wanting everything to be perfect, he carefully placed the blanket and picnic basket, all packed with nothing missing. Mary seemed pleased, at least she smiled, sitting there, watching him puttering around.
Mary didn’t say much; she had been admiring him for a while, waiting for him to make the first move. Accepting a few coffee meetings, he finally asked her on a first date, and this romantic setting was his choice. She couldn’t help smiling, watching him making everything just so. It couldn’t be better she thought.
After eating, Joe dipped into the basket and opened a bottle of dessert wine. It was sweet and soothing, the perfect end to the date. At least that’s what Mary envisioned. As he inched closer, he stole a kiss, and she responded. Then Joe jumped up and started taking off his shirt and shoes. Mary just sat there, almost speechless.
“What is going on?”
“I thought we’d go skinny dipping! It’s warm enough, don’t you think?” Joe finished undressing and jumped in the pond.
Mary was shocked. The romantic evening turned into a high school romp.

I almost felt the touch again
Almost heard your laughter
Almost saw that wicked smile
You always had right after
Almost smelled your aftershave
I keep the bottle on the shelf
Open it when I’m tired of being by myself
I almost hear your car coming up the drive
Almost think I will survive
Without you laying by my side
Almost is a dream, a wish I want to be true
As I almost feel the presence once again of you.

My head is reeling
Often have this feeling
As I sit down to edit
The ending credits
Then I see something’s not right
It’s disappeared, pages took flight
I read the manual, followed instructions
It was all done, even the introduction
Now I’m sitting here very frustrated
HTML is way overrated.

You know your apartment building walls are too thin when the vibrating buzz from the guy above’s cell wakes you up.🙄🤨😶
