I have walked along the tops of these trees before when my feet were just eyes with bones and boots looking down from another vanilla flavored dawn for something shiny and not so much wet this time the sky was always a friendly mantel or man tell how it kept me from being invisible from below so the demons looking upward for a god or rain would have a name to use in vain, while attempting? I always new my place was the distance of glances from fragile when I was in her eyes between closing and time to open again for that kind of business where she sells me short by the foot or in inches and pounds out my likeness below cellophane palms _____________ daark |

There is a bitter aftertaste to this, dear D., yet I wonder if 51 is enough ... no doubt distant glances might grant for safety! Excellent write. Margherita |

Ms Mar...9.5 weeks in an hour with time left to sand the notches of the beating stick..no worries, no bad days...the rubicon was only down to half a tank full. thanks lady |

Ms Mar..actually has to do with the comittment of a jeep vs the everyday mundane comfort of a passenger car. The Rubicon jumps out and over and just does it because it wants to...the passenger car just goes into reverse when it's wheels begin to spin. Sorry it was not more dramatic..lol |

... yes yes, like flying in a bi-plane and enjoying the adventure, rather than be bored with the safety of a Jumbo jet.  |

Disappointing, I'm sure...but people can only be who they are. I'm sure there's a Jeep out there somewhere. The grocery getter wishes you all happiness in the world. |
