The Roundup

Encounters: Overheard at a convenience store in a small town recently a man telling two other people about a baby that died and was buried by mistake in a pet cemetery. All three men men looked intent and serious, as if the story was true and not some morbid joke.

Read: My nephew loaned me The Stranger in the Woods: The Extraordinary Story of the Last True Hermit, By Michael Finkel. An interesting read that includes some pondering about what living alone does to humans.

Observed: A recent night storm passing over our acreage that produced some rain and little thunder. The lightning show was incredible, however, and lasted over an hour. Some of the lightning seemed to crawl in half loops under the dark clouds (sort of like this: uuuuuu).
