DROPPING OFF LINDA TONIGHT

My eyes were peeled tonight for foreign objects and coming home from Wilson I kept asking Linda..."Do you see it?" "Do you see Mars?" She wasn't interested and her thoughts were elsewhere. I couldn't get her attention.

I had the interior lights of my car dimmed so I could look skyward. Maybe she was asleep.

When we came in to town, I asked again. "Do you see it?"

Finally she said, "What are you looking for, the cougar?".

"No...Mars", I said.

Good thing she had the safety of my car surrounding her as she wasn't wearing her whistle.
