My (or perhaps "our") Angel revealed!

As promised, here is the Angel I saw in the picture I took at our town park last spring (Click on the image to make it bigger). In order for this to make any sense, you had to have read the story “The Angels Amongst Us.”

The Sudden Demise of Wing-Girl

Image
Monday, December 7 th , 2015 was a day that shall remain a busy memory in my professional life as an over-the-road truck driver. I completed a multi-stop trip in the state of Connecticut. After that journey was finished, I grabbed a fresh box of furniture and set off in the darkness for the small town of Morrisville, Vermont, which resides in the northern middle of the state. As I neared my destination I noticed Morrisville-Stowe State Airport was sliding by outside my passenger window. I looked over, twisting my neck all around, trying to get a glimpse of just one airplane. I’m also a pilot and that’s what we do- it does not matter what kind of airplane we see, any kind of wing reminds us of our happy place and the mere sight of one is akin to aviator porn. (I think I did manage to see one half of a Cessna 172 fast asleep in the tie-down area of the airpark.) It was after ten at night when I pulled into the parking lot of the Big Lots store I would be delivering to in the...

Chicks and Trees

Wednesday of this past week I made a delivery in Cobleskill, New York. Afterwards, I decided to make some lunch in the RV for two reasons: I was required by the DOT to take 30 minutes off within the next hour and there was a MacDonald’s inside the adjoining Wal-Mart Supercenter. An after-meal coffee would make a good day better. After a decent lunch consisting of meat loaf I set sail through the parking lot to grab my caffeine fix. Halfway to the door, I spotted a bumper sticker that made me stop and consider its message. I liked what it said immediately, so much so that I snapped a picture of it with my phone. “Who is this John guy?” I wondered. “He is lucky that only the mountains call him. Everything calls me, sometimes all at once. It can be problematic.” After making my way inside the corner of the Wal-Mart I was happy to see I had the good fortune to enter on the side that contained the Mickey D’s. No long walks through a cement monstrosity with too many peop...

Finding Value in Introspection

My physical body has been failing me for at least a month. It’s actually failed me in cycles for a few years now, perhaps because society has programmed me to believe that at some point I have to pay for a mid-life crisis in full. Maybe I’m on its doorstep. Previous cycles of ill consisted of bouts of diverticulitis. In my latest cycle, my brain has held up a sign that says, “New and improved: Now with lower back and hip pain!” I have never considered myself miserable, but my mind and body were teaming up and doing their best to convince me I was. The larger side of my waking consciousness would not stand for it. I was tired of the charade and began a deep retrospective journey. Wednesday afternoon my RV suffered the failure of a component vital to its health and that predicament left me stranded in a hotel in New Jersey while the local dealer attended to the issue. Me? I retired to a hotel to attend to a book I’ve been reading that I have found insightful regarding my curr...
