It's Friday morning. You could order my book (ebook or paperback) and have it read by the end of the weekend. Wouldn't that be something?

COUNT THE DUST is available from @leftoverbooks.bsky.social: a.co/d/0iZOmLRT

What used to be my home has changed to just a place to stay
A crumbling last resort when day is through
Sometimes between sundown and dawn somehow I find my way
To this Home Motel on Lost Love Avenue

Out of bed and back at it. Listening to Willie to get trough it. Spin #1:

She is to me like the breeze
That blows up from the sea
Now if she is like the breeze
That blows from Corpus Christi
Then I must be like the trees
'Cause Caroline blows through me

You might call it sad confusion
You might even call it off
But once you called me more than just your friend
Now there's more to what I'm thinkin'
Than the Mississippi Line
And Tennessee's not the state I'm in

My current WIPβ€”ASA OKLAHOMA (SQUATTER)β€”is well in hand, heading toward a finish. But I keep being nagged by this Mike Disfarmer script I work on, on and off. But how can a capture a fraction of the depth of his photos?

Y'all should reward yourself and obtain and read (and reread) COUNT THE DUST by @vanwinkle.bsky.social.

A terrific tale - dust and all!

Actual South Carolina snow (not just ice that looks like snow).

My book's not really this small. But it's a pretty quick read. Some even say it's a good read. Get yours: a.co/d/7N7JvSJ

Ed Ruscha hasn't really read my book (I mean probably not...though theoretically possible). However, a lot of cool folks have read it and said mighty fine things about it. You could too...https://a.co/d/3PZ8YKu
