Y'all know how much I hate to leave Harper, but my trip to the Gulf Coast for a wedding warn't nothing but good. And today I had to go to the next county to pick up something for Dorothy at CheapMart. And you know what? There warn't no power on. In the past I seen power being out because of lightning, or a tree blowed down by a strong wind, or even when a drunk hit a light pole. But this power being out warn't caused by none of them things. It were caused by a curious little squirrel what were looking into a electric box (I reckon for something to eat.) He were fried. And a whole bunch of peoples was left in the dark. Ever thing is back to normal except for the poor little squirrel. He done picked up his last nut.
Hollis' book of the day:
The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway - Some war wounds are worse than others.
