being young, being old
---------------------
Today's photograph
shows a partial view from our Crow's Nest cottage on the east shore
of Au Train Lake. We finally received some snow last night and
a few flurries today. The lake is still trying to freeze
around the edges. Temperatures are supposed to be in the 30's
the next few days. With a little luck, there will still be
snow for Christmas.

(excerpt from a poem titled "it's all
right")
being young
helps get you through
many senseless and terrible
days.
being old
does
too.
Charles Bukowski,
U.S. Author, from
the night torn mad with
footsteps (Black Sparrow Press).
