It is sweltering here. Absolutely sweltering. Just a couple more weeks here. This is THE last summer I shall ever spend on this flat, windy and dusty prairie! Don't know why I ever stayed here this long! I am tired of the heat, pick up trucks and oil derelicts. And phony cowboys. I feel like Maggie from Tennessee Williams' 'Cat on a Hot Tin Roof'.........and my claws are showing. California, or bust!
For the next two weeks, I am in this holding pattern, but not for much longer....
By night, after drinking liters of Perrier, and eating loads of Rocky Road ice cream just to bring my body temperature back down to a normal 98.6 degrees...........I shimmy into my skivvies, and read Steinbeck's 'East of Eden' on my Kindle..............under the methodical twirling of my ceiling fan.........as the fiery orb slowly sets in the western sky...
