Issue #32 Seeing Not Seen
And…
There’s this trend.
I think it started in Europe.
As many trends do.
I don’t like it.
I really, really don’t like it.
Clear glass shower surrounds.
No shower curtain.
Not even frosted glass.
Just a big honkin’ piece of absolutely transparent window.
Into the shower.
The place where I am standing naked.
The place where I am standing naked with no boundaries between the gifts god gave me and the eyeballs of whoever just decided they needed something from the bathroom.
Sure, there’s steam…
Ain’t ever enough steam.
Maybe this does not bother you. Maybe, unlike me, you have your own sacrosanct bathing chamber. A space not shared with two to four other people. (Depending on the day.)
Or maybe you are perfectly happy to flash your assets.
Good for you.
Not me.
Give me my shower curtain.
Trendy or not.

Zapped!
At first, when the snow came, it looked as though we might get away with just a little dusting. The kind of dusting that marigolds and nasturtiums and even a few hearty tomatoes might survive.

And zapped the heck out of everything.
Ironically, today we are back to lovely tomato weather.
Too bad they are all dead…
