Yeah, that was rather a dramatic post. Stuff happens. 😀

Cut my finger trying to open a wine bottle with a screwdriver and jewelry wire cutters. My hand strength is getting worse. There is blood and everything. However, it is a very tasty Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2023 that I received as a gift from #1 Son. 🥂🐊😯🌴🌞🐬🌲🌳

Scary, delusional people out there.

I find it extremely amusing that the grandson thought the weirdest guy we saw today wearing the red, white & blue sparkly wig was an employee of the government. He asked me if he works for the government making flags. I said, no that was Betsy Ross.

The rabbit's name is Lolly.

One young man was having his Best Spring Break Day Ever wearing a sparkly red, white, and blue metallic wig driving a blue jeep with two girls drinking fancy coffees. Live each day in Florida with extreme abandon.

They are HERE!
Highway 98 backed up with Spring Breakers going to the beach.
We took the side streets and moved far away from that mob.

I checked out five other books by Heller, and could not get into them. Lots of great descriptions, but could not follow the story. The Orchard is his latest book, and he has changed his style to making a more moving narrative. Also, Over Yonder by Sean Dietrich is great.

Grandson and I found new rock store. The rabbit and map stone are mine. The deer, square rock and skull are his.

Old barnacles tell stories about silvery fish frolicking in Choctawhatchee Bay.

A curly tree besides the sea was waiting just for me.

Nine years ago she found a new place to live.

Or maybe you needed a basket?

"She rarely paused her train of thought long enough to let others find the on ramp toward her conversational highway."

Sean's work is great. I know his characters and he tells about them right on target.

My Two Main Allies and the grandson joined me to discuss the White Arrow Conspiracy. Everyone remains vigilant and prepared. Grandson said, "the arrows are just telling you which to go." I said I wasn't falling for that trick. He got quiet and then let out a long sigh. "Oh," was all he could say.

White arrow covered by a rain puddle. Maybe it will wash away. No, I still see it.

I never wanted to be a Barbie, I wanted to be a woodsy creature deep in the northern forests.

Music playing on the car radio is Highway to Hell.
Turn it up, Kate.

Grandson said, "I am having a lifetime."

Instead of: he's having the time of his life.

I like it.

Oh Nervous Nellie and her yappy dog sauntered by. I smelled her cigarette smoke and heard her cussing the yappy dog. I think they are concerned about the white arrows because they took a different path that circled around them.

Being an Influencer in your own neighborhood is magic personified. (As Jimi would say, are you experienced? Well, I am.)

Are you seeing new white arrows painted on the roads where you are? Is this only a Florida phenomenon? Are you even on the lookout for them? Did you pass any without even knowing? This is how they get you. I would call for a congressional committee, but they are busy trying on trumpy shoes.

Upstairs neighbor drove directly over the white arrow in his parking space without caution. So brave. I'm glad he is on my team. I didn't get to talk to him, see what he knows. I am becoming more convinced other people are nervous in the service because there has been so little activity.

I prefer the term reader. I am a retired librarian who loves books. Critic usually has a negative connotation. Reviewer sounds like a paid position that is not entertaining. By the way, I am also excited that I checked out five Peter Heller books today. Have you read his work? I loved the Orchard.

Went to library and saw many more white arrows around the compound. Going different directions, one had two points. I thought about painting them over, but the area is too open. Too risky. This is getting massive. And still, no dog walkers out. The dogs know something.

White Arrow Update.
No changes. I noticed that there is very little traffic and FedEx guy stopped three times with intense back beeping that was probably code. I could not translate it.
Even the chain-smoking Nervous Nellie isn't out walking her yappy dog. Now that is unusual. What does she know?

This is like a Hollywood Movie when the perpetrator marks his spot for the pickup man and the CIA and the FBI and all those other watchers are watching and recording and they are waiting for me to take the bait. Is this worth putting on shoes and risking exposure to go investigate that white arrow?
