Awww, my remark on the Mudcat Poetry thread (all brazenly reissued from MOM's house) seems to have disheartened its originator. Oh, well, people will just have to come to the source!

Another wet night, lots of thunder, but the trees appear to be intact. I still have to go help haul away the branches from that big limb that came down. Then I'm going to throw out this pair of shoes that I realized on the dog walk this morning have just about fallen apart and there is a gaping toe in one (all while fulfilling their role as "yard shoes" after they stopped being "casual work shoes.")
