I was walking home from the library as wind brought me chills. I looked to the sky and saw how splended the clouds were decked within the sun's rays. Bringing vivid colors that could make a young lad blush. The sun was bright as an peach...with curiousity I reached out my hand and grabbed it. It was warm so I didn't get burned like my uncle told me I would, if I ever did such a thing. I sniffed it smelling it's sweet essence. My stomach growled, so I took a bite Don't worry it wasn't too big. It's texture was soft, but the taste was bitter at first. I could taste the sour, the heat from it's inner core. Some of it was tangy, some sweet. I tried to savory it, but couldn't. I wanted another bite, yet the sun escaped my grasp and leaped back to the sky sailing with the clouds east. Leaving me hungry for it's peachy glow. |

I experienced exactly the same thing as you did here back in tha "sixties," Ken. In my case it was a real potent tab of acid that put me there. ~ At the siege of Vienna in 1683 Islam seemed poised to overrun Christian Europe. We are in a new phase of a very old war. ~ |

In my case it was a potent table of acid that did ti to me. ~ At the siege of Vienna in 1683 Islam seemed poised to overrun Christian Europe. We are in a new phase of a very old war. ~ |

Kind of sweet and sour, and still mouth watering just the same. |
