So that's what that is

I often see flatbeds go by the RV park loaded with three widely spaced bundles of what look like iron weights. They baffled me until yesterday at Walmart when three rigs rolled in loaded with nice shiny ones, unlike the dull, iron like, loads I've been seeing. Bingo! - copper ingots.

But why would some be on the road past the RV Park?...

Finding the Words to Fit It

There is an idea current in the prevailing culture that writing about something that pains you heals the pain. I was not, when I began writing my life story, and am not now, healed of my mother. But you do gain a small distance from anything by keeping it in suspension in your mind while you work at finding the words to fit it. The process is so slow and incremental that you don't notice its effect, but the point is that it is a process.
