It’s not as if I have nothing to say — I’m sure I have, somewhere — but the summer heat has hit (upper 90’s, F) with humidity to match, and my brain is otherwise occupied in keeping my vital functions going.
There remains one vital function I can manage on my own, and that is the devouring of ice cream. Happily, the newspaper publishes several articles each summer which not only state that ice cream is one of the best possible foods to consume in this heat, but that doctors confirm that it is NECESSARY to eat it, that it’s GOOD FOR YOU, that it’s PRACTICALLY A HEALTH FOOD. I don’t write these articles, but I could if asked to.
So here, having decided to avoid any brain-intensive topics, I am just going to give some of those glimpses of the sights (I spare you sounds) to be noticed when walking around the neighborhood. Just think, you’re also spared the temperature, which is just about the same inside as outside, except when inside is even hotter.
I’m going on vacation tomorrow, so will not be not making anything up for about six weeks. I intend to return totally bursting with wonders to relate, or at least bursting with the intention of doing so.
I just can’t believe it. An original Apple Macintosh in the garbage boat?
Even if it doesn’t work it is a pricelly vintage computer collector’s favorite.
I wrote a (cliche’-ridden, poorly stressed and metered) Poem. It’s written in the style of Byron’s low functioning younger brother yet I hope you will enjoy this little mud pie about Venice. Americangondolier.com. Please delete this comment when read.
I have learned more about Venice from your writings than in all my visits there. Thank you.
