Turn It Off

More and more John and Candy found it much better to turn off the Google and Yahoo news on the computer and hand held devices, turn off the radio and the TV, get rid of the chaos and just watch the sunset.  They found there was something very soothing about the predictability . . . . .  David, Sf.G.

Gitmo

With the problems of Benghazi, the trouble in Syria and Egypt, and the problems with the Euro, the question of what to do with Gitmo seemed a lot like the setting sun–Some wished it would linger a little longer; some just wished it was over . . . .  David, Sf.G.

Bruised

As little Antonio looked at the sunset, he asked his mother, “How did the sky get bruised?” . . . .  David, Sf.G.

Burning Daylight

Chuckie had heard John Wayne exclaim, “We’re Burnin’ Daylight!” in a number of his movies, especially in “The Cowboys,” and always wondered what it meant.  After visiting the Texas Gulf Coast, he thought he was beginning to understand . . . . . David, Sf.G.

Calm Before the Storm

Almost every night, Bob Jim and Suzie came down to the dock on the bayou to watch the sunset and enjoy the calm before the storm which was the ten o’clock news.  The two needed a little calm before hearing about tornadoes, fires, Benghazi, the IRS scandal, reporters’ phones tapped, North Korea firing missiles,  arsenic found in chickens and who knew what else? . . . . .  David, Sf.G.

The Finger

The rock finger in the Arizona desert had been there far longer than any of them.  The oldest Indians claimed that the people that came before them said it pointed to the North Star; the scientific wags claimed it was a sign of earth’s contempt for mankind in general; yet others said it was nature checking to see which way the wind was blowing.  The only thing everyone agreed on was that it was consistent, it hadn’t moved much. . . . .  David, Sf.G.
