Good!

Would I lie to you?

Do you really think I could?

Everything I say is the gospel truth right?

Believe me?

Good!

Time for the fair

About that time.

Time for the fair to come around.

Each October they use to show up in small Georgia towns for a week.

Nights would be getting cool just right for a light jacket.

Those wonderful smells.Corn dogs,candied apples,french fries all those delicious smells just thinking of them makes my mouth water.

Sawdust covering the ground,crowds of people.All those games of chance.The rides.Ferris wheels,bumper cars the merry go round.

I can still see,smell and hear it all in my minds eye.

Ghost dog

Shiny white almost glittering and very fast.

12 years old and my friend and next door neighbor Doug was staying over on a Friday night.East Newnan,Georgia the year was 1964.

Washing our faces in cold water trying to stay awake long enough so we could watch Bestoink Dooley's scary/horror movies on WAGA channel 5 that came on after the 10 pm news.Movies like Dracula,Frankenstein where shown nothing like the gory to real movies of today.

It wasn't working so outside on the back porch we went.An October night and it was cool.The air was refreshing and it was working.

Wide awake now.

Sitting on the steps of the small high porch looking at the starry sky above us just killing time.

Across the street was a patch of trees.

Something caught our eye.Who seen it first I don't remember.

Running right to left in front of us is what we called a large collie sized dog in the trees.

I think it was a dog.If it made a sound never did we hear it.

It was fast.Just a second or so and it was gone.

It was bright like it was illuminated all we could make out was the shape.

The ghost dog we named it.

Never was it seen again.

Can you feel it?

Can you feel it?

I sure can.Has the Earth shifted on it's axis again?

Has there been some unnoticed calamity of nature that slipped by us?

Stop.Be still.Yeah you noticed it I bet.

Doesn't it feel like the world has tilted a little bit to the right?

Back in 2004 when that big tidal wave hit and all those people died it changed the Earth.Time slowed down,the North Pole shifted a few feet,the Earth was knocked off it axis some.

To me it feels like I'm leaning to the right.In bed flop there I go automatically to the right.If it wasn't for a bed rail most likely in the floor I would end up.Sitting in my chair people say I'm crooked but no I just tilt to the right.

Something has changed.

The world has tilted or maybe my spine is getting a little curve to it tilting me to the right.Most likely the latter is the case.
