But one glance at it and you are inside the mind of another person, maybe dead for hundreds of years. Across the millennia an author is speaking clearly and silently inside your head – directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic.

“It’s a rat! A rat!” The kid’s voices shrieked shrilly as they chased the wretched little rodent. It was during the Christmas Light Parade on Central Avenue; a stretch of solid buildings: no alley, no crack, not even a hole. Continue reading
Several have asked what happened to our very high water use. On Dec. 10 we saw a dramatic reduction in gallons used. On Dec. 11 our water use was back to normal. Thanks to everyone for your cooperation.

WARNING!!!
There has been a resurgence of NLS in recent years. No Laughing Syndrome has infected many good people. Not only are they seemingly incapable of laughter, but, they seem stridently opposed to anyone who can. And does. I happen to be an unapologeticly contagious laugher.
