Hey Mike, the summer was off to a good start, a stray cat started hanging around, then he adopted us. A charming fellow, he is helping thin out the pocket gophers. / Then after learning that Royal Enfield was no longer going to build its cast iron Bullet due to difficulty meeting emission standards, both noise and tail pipe pollutants, it seemed only right that I own one. Fifty some odd years of production will cease with the closure of 2008. The last of the modern day antiques. / then things took a turn for bad - a doctors report, a biopsy- surgery- recovery. / the stuff you hear about that happens to other people, / today, I'm classified low cancer risk, have some follow up exams coming up this month. Things look much better looking back from the month of September than they did looking forward from the month of June, / it has been a very interesting time, a time of quiet observation and learning,- -but when I opened my eyes again, the summer of 08 was gone. / it is good to be back, feeling the autumn chill, watching the leaves tumbling to the ground. Racing along with the wind in my face, the fragrance of the season, laced with the occasional scent of tail pipe emissions. / m

Merrill! Doood, I missed you. Glad you're posting again and please, say whatever is on your mind. I've had a lot of fun on this site but I've gotten much needed support too. As you recall some of that support was from you. I really appreciate you encouraging me to write as a means of letting go or solidifying thoughts. It still isn't always easy but at least it's possible now.

Jack, JC, Kevin, kip - thanks for your kind thoughts, / sometimes life turns raw, and as JC stated-- we circle the wagons, we reside within. / but when given an extension, a reprieve if you will, we step out into the light of day, stumbling to find where we left off.----- / all too confusing for me, so I started over. / "How much for that motor, the one sporting the amal carburetor? Great, I see the wheels come attached!"-- / m /
