Your Input, Your City, Your Town



'Your Input'



What is a city's obligations to its residents? Whatever it can afford I suppose within the demands of said residents. When the residents don't voice any opinion its obligations are whatever the elected officials decide. You can go to any city council meeting anywhere, anytime and generally find only a handful of folks (if that) watching the proceedings. Unless of course there's a controversy stewing. Everyone wants to know about the controversy and some are quite… Continue

Vega overhead,
Scorpion sits in the south:
Summertime night sky.

Feelings a la Haiku


They don't leave you by yourself
They don't forget you

Moon reflects from rain puddles.
Stars trapped in the grass.

A Portrait of the Day





She wakes with a start this keeper of your mother , father, sister, brother. She stumbles to the bathroom still in half slumber. She runs the water in the tub lost in thought and no thought at all.

It's the paths that you…

bound him up…

A few years ago, we took the famous Colorado Narrow Gauge Railroad excursion from Durango to Silverton-fifty-two miles of the San Juan scenic byway. The choices varied on how classed… Continue
