Waiting for the Water Taxi at Calhoun's on the River in Knoxville

And the voice from the 'viod' said----Hi Kathy, it,s Dusk--the witching hour--and I am about.

They tell me garlic works.

The bark from the void is worse than the bite. Angry miners, an olympic torch snuffed out by telekinesis, never a dull moment here on the dock.

The voice came down from the starry gray. The voice said, "Smile" and vanished away...

In all seriousness, Kathy, I hope you're surviving those storms I keep reading about in your part of the world.

Greetings from northern California,

Paul

Paul, thank you. We are fine. The Tennessee Valley is generally not a Tornado Hot Zone. They do happen from time to time, but are rare. I'm told it's because of our Great Smokies. Blessings to you!

For the waiting birds the water taxi has arrived finally. Journey's end unknown: somewhere down river.

For the people queueing up it's a different story, as your destination are The Football Games, you'll have to exercise patience till Fall. There's a good restaurant upstairs.

Cheers, Claus
