Victor's shot, although composed reasonably well, is a very sad picture. I think it paints an emotive portrait of the very sad current state of the ODSS experience -- it's weltschmerz, if you will...

2 beers ... one empty chair ... a table set for ... no one ... a blind truck searching for companionship (so close, but elusively out of reach)... empty van with open doors... the barren school bus, bereft of its former child-derived vibrancy that's now faded into pastel browns and other depressed hues ... Oh, I can't continue ... I weep, I weep ...

Oh, and hey Victor -- you should try mowing your grass once in awhile, huh?? nanner


I know. I am sad and lonely! You guys somehow got together for Homecoming without me. The closest ODSS member living nearest me is Billy. I was thinking about contacting him, but he said he was quarantined . . . and I think it's just because he didn't want to see me with my mask on.

I was planning on putting the '57 in the pic too, since that what I was planning on driving to Homecoming, I got in to start it and the battery is dead! So indicative of all Homecomings I go to, problems with the truck.

And John, I did mow the grass! Right after I finished those two (well, maybe more) beers. I would show you a pic, but you would no doubt find something else in the background to make me feel more sad and lonely.

Darn, I'm thirsty all of a sudden!!!
