Don't retire without a plan for dental surgeons. We're talking tens of thousands out of pocket, cash on the barrel head. Think you won't need a dental surgeon? Think again. Today's dentists won't even pull a tooth.

KEEPER OF THE CONIFERS
a short story by Walker Bramblett

A procrastinator inherits the poor, the persecuted, and the mentally impaired in the woods of north Georgia.

My stories are my gift, free as an autumn breeze. I sincerely hope you enjoy.

We are overrun with masked bandits in Frogtown and they haven't sent one damn soldier.

An abstracted landscape suggesting hills, waterfalls and big sky.

The quote continues: β€œβ€¦escorting a meandering flood of twists and turns, caressing the velvet sand of dreamy beaches or smashing sometimes into the rocks of reality.”

I am beginning to be more comfortable with undulating happiness.  Neither over-rejoicing when it arrives nor over-mourning when it goes, knowing all states are temporary and will flow away and back again.

It is more difficult during extremes, of course (like the national political landscape now, like long illnesses, like big successes after a long effort) but still doable, if I just remember that I have done it before, and can ride the wave again.

Happiness is a flow between a playful construction and a painful deconstruction, undulating from a hampering past into a liberating 'now,'. - ERIK PEVERNAGIE

Oil painting on Stonehenge paper (which I love, texture-wise, like board, for detailed rendering). Limited gamut masking palette.

Restaurant in Asheville, NC at closing time.

References were old photos from a decade ago.

There are a few wonky spots to clean up. 🧽 πŸ“ πŸ“ 🎨

Those refrigerator water lines are a disaster waiting to happen. My home and my Dad's office were flooded exactly the same way. Roughly $40,000 damage in all.

Do not trust those cheap plastic tubes that come with your fridge! Pay a plumber to replace them. Money well spent!

Actually, I was wrong. I remember the civil rights movement from years before that.
