Break and bend snap and send.

grip your heart another start

save your glee 'til you're free

peace for some yours will come

Errant string one pull will bring

tinkling bath to banish wrath

loosen chains no more remains.

End the waste create the haste.

Creep and crawl a stranger's drawl

away the Mad bring in glad

unknown want it's you they'll haunt

conquered beast lets make a feast.

Today is a day for solving problems. Alright well, at least making plans to solve the problem. Tomorrow morning early, I depart for the mountains to look at some possible places to live.

The mountains is where I want to be. There's peace and serenity, quiet with clean air, beautiful lakes and great fishing. Up on the plateau's the moon is so huge. It turns the whole night night silver. You can see everything and know what it is to be another celestial body shining it's reflected light. 2% of the sun's and yet casts a silvery coating over everything it shines upon.. Then the loons sing on the lake and flying fish splash and plop in the emerald waters.

I'm outta here!

To do right by all parties concerned I must, of course, give proper notice.

They gotta get rid of the rats though if they hope for another tenant.

Much of a rat's activity is at night. Sleep is a challenge. Ugh....

How do I feel? Still disgusted in the rodents and bugs. But at least moving towards plan of correction. I will have to put up with it, though. For another six weeks. There is no choice. So rat traps and hole plugs are all than can done for now.

I'm also preparing for the holiday season and cook my Uncle and my cousins a turkey dinner. I will battle the cockroaches for ground.

I'm in the mountains tonight and I've come into the only piece of desert in our country. Called arid land. It truly a thing of rare beauty. It is in the heart of our mountains where all our fruit is grown and is also vacation land for boaters, swimmers and wine tours.

I'm being summoned...it's that time again. She needs help and I need to go to her.

I invite you all to ride the time machine....

*****************************

"Oh God," I prayed, "please let her be okay. Let the kids be ok."

Silence. Dead quiet. That smell persisted, thicker as I started to ascend the stairs.

"Mrs. D?" I asked. No answer. "Mrs. D!" I said louder.

At the top of the stairs, I looked down the hallway. By the dim light. I could see puddles and spots of blood, by the dim light leading toward the living room. One single light shone in the dining room. Looking around, the house was demolished. Looked like a large bull ran through there and Mr. D used his wife to create the mess.

Shaking, I followed the trail of blood from the hallway through the living room and into the dining room. The table was up against the corner of the wall. I could see Mrs. D's leg sticking out from behind. A soft moan could be heard. I went quickly to her side, pulled the table off of her and looked down at what remained. Her leg was bent at an odd angle. It looked like it was twisted from her hip down. A large cut across her face went up into her hairline. Still bleeding quite a bit especially from her scalp. I didn't dare move her with her leg. It would only make it worse. I could do something about her head so I grabbed a tea towel with ice and brought it out. Placed it upon her head and took another cloth and wiped away some of the blood from her face. She came around slowly but as she did, her pain enveloped her again.

"We need to call an ambulance. We have to, you're badly injured."

She groaned and gritted her teeth. "No," she said. "No ambulance." "Husband can fix leg. It's happened before."

"Where are the kids?" I asked.

"With husband." She said. Letting out the most excruciating moan of pain cut me because I couldn't fix it. I could do something else though.

I heard the tell tale rumble of Mr. D's car pulling into the driveway.

"Mrs. D, I have to run. He's here. I AM calling you an ambulance!"

She moaned...but feet were already flying down the stairs to grab my bag. I ran into the room downstairs just as the front door opened. I backed up into it hoping he didn't see me.

I could hear his footsteps coming for the door. Then his shadow filled the doorway. His glittery black eyes landed on me.

"Oh shit...."

*****************************

So I drove many hours through the mountains today. The beauty and magnificence never fails to amaze times as I've been through years, it won't ever stop.

I love the magic power and the majesty of such great granite goddesses rising up all around.

None one can take that. Its mine alone. So I think we may remain. We shall see...

We'll see you and her very very soon....
