A Blustery Day in Sandy

This is what 75 mile-an-hour winds did to our gate early this morning. Luckily it is somewhat repairable. I had been hoping to get a new gate this summer... Now I have motovation.

Comment on Vanessa's Blog

This comment was too big to fit in the little comment box on Vanessa's Blog about Is Anyone There? So here is my comment:
Is Anyone there?
By, W. Everett Prusso

To Vanessa:

I sat one day to write a blog
A pleasant ditty about a log
I pushed the button and wondered if
My words were just in cyber drift
I waited long, it seemed all day
To see if anyone had a comment to say
But at the end of day the counter was naught
Oh where were the readers, the readers I sought.

There’s a story about a forested tree
That fall to the earth, but nobody sees
The question is: did it make a sound?
If no one heard the tree hit the ground

Next day I passed a friend of mine
Who said she liked a particular line
“What did you say?” My mind in fog
She smiled at me, “I liked your blog.”
“You read it,” I cheered. “You really read?”
“As always,” she said. “Just before I go to bed.”

So like the tree, I’m happy to say
That my words were heard on this particular day
And so I will keep on blogging, it is true
With confidence that it will reach all of you.
