I love the north side of the city. I had become quite accustomed to it and all it had to offer. Now I live on the south side. I am learning the roads, the faster shorter ways here and there...stuffs a lot more spread out, a lot more hillbillyish, which might explain why I am able to adapt so quickly. For instance, the Wal-mart close by has great characters to make any normal female feel uncomfortable if she waltzes in alone. Luckily miles away in my new dwelling place I feel quite safe. The night sounds mix and mingle on these warm summer nights...well almost warm summer evenings, a blanket and hot tea do the job well to take care of the almost part. If someone were to camp out on a porch or sleep with the windows open they might even hear the bullfrogs sing their song beside the fountain water works dribbling inbetween the loud revving of an engine. If one's really lucky on a night of celebration and holiday such as this she can hear fireworks exploding in the distance...and b/c of the location she is quite sure they are indeed beautiful bombs and not bullets shot as some other residents of this fair city live with regularly.
So, tonight I sit, enjoying the humm of the computer (George) (yes, I name random inanimate objects for kicks and giggles) cooling itself competing in and out with the sounds of the great developed outdoors where bullfrogs and bulldogs for that matter are a sweet escape from the constant droan of traffic that you can get good at tuning out if you try hard enough.
Happy Memorial Day Friends
