the best thing about being a writer -- part VII
$Zero
Saturdays.
on porches.
the warm blue-sky shadows of a gazillion leaves...
flickering brightly on lush green grass.
hills.
and birds. and squirrels. and non-cliche butterflies.
cold green garden hoses watering wondrously colored flowers...
and tomatoes...
and sprinkler running children.
pool splashes.
glistening inner tubes.
huge wind-swaying trees louder than distant traffic.
breathing fresh rain-enhanced air.
random wafts of stewing dinner.
beach sand.
sun tan oil.
flip flops.
overflowing glasses of ice-filled lemon aide.
bicycle adventures.
sweat.
a case of bottled beer clinking in the cooler.
working in the garage.
saw dust.
...
the best thing about being a writer is that every day is Saturday.
even when you're plowing through the Monday morning blahs.
-$Zero...

But he's posting stuff that isn't a flame. That gets him 50 extra
points for 'unusual'.

Ray Haddad: "I really do hate having to write to you as if you are"
CyberCypher: "That should be 'were', Ray. Do you even know how
to spell 'subjunctive'?"
Ray Haddad: "the third grade but you seem to leave me no choice."
CyberCypher: "You aren't even innovative with your insults, Ray.
Are you really a writer? Maybe you write in
assembly language or some other kind of code,
but you certainly don't seem to be a writer of
English, the natural human language that you
seem to have learned at your mother's knee but
to have never raised beyond that level. Is
that the level you want to continue on? If it
is, I can accommodate you. It's easy
to write 'nyah-nyah-nyah'."
