Day: October 5, 2022

I was dreaming when

I wondered what a hector was.

I thought it was a measurement

and later when awake

looked it up and found it to

be what 10,000 acres is. 

The U.P. is 17,300 acres. 

I found that interesting,

almost two hectors. 

As I came out of sleep

I could hear the waves

lapping the shore. 

There is constant motion and

even when the lake looks still it is moving. 

The clouds at times look motionless,

but they are slowly moving. 

Sometimes you would like to take

a thread and tie a certain cloud

so it could keep its unusual shape. 

I watch the birds swimming in or

flying over the lake. 

Then often lighting on the shore-line trees. 

They don’t seem to have a preference. 

All of the species to all of the species. 

It is a gray day, but very bright. 

You have to move your eyes away or

wear sunglasses to do It. It is getting cooler

and rain is in the forecast. 

I don’t think it is related to

the destructive hurricane which did

billions in damage to Florida

and other coastal states. 

Excuse me, dear reader,

all of this talk of weather has left me chilled

so I have to run and grab a jacket. 

Now I am back and feeling a little more comfortable. 

It is a good feeling.  I received a cap from one of

my favorite downstate charities. 

Its location is N 42* 57; 10”4” W 85* 38; 43’’15”

When you get there tell them Stanski sent you.
