Stories, Stories, Everywhere Stories

A pair of reclusive twins are found dead together after decades of living virtually apart from the world. Spin these into a novel and people will think you are being too fanciful. But Patricia and Joan Miller were for real, and their story raises all kinds of questions and speculations about their history and of human psychology. Something bad must have happened. But then, maybe not.

Far less believable, that a restaurant managed to survive while its owners had a habit of screaming at people in the parking lot and charging $10 for use of the bathroom. Their violent tempers have landed them in the pokey and their business is closed, but the comments both in the paper and at Yelp make me unsure whether I'm sorry or glad that I missed it.

Do I post too much? I feel others don't post enough. Oh, but then when I find someone who does, it's like as not uninteresting or poorly written. That would make me unique, then.

I definitely don't post enough. I wish I could do more, but I must discharge my sworn duties to my state and my family.

No, no! It's OK. Don't worry about me. It's all part of the grand parade of life. I shall soldier on and think of England.

You fail to post enough, Don

You do not post too much!!

I don't always comment because I find I have, well, no wit, most of the time. See: Teacake posts too much drivel.

But I read them all. :)

Everyone I link and follow should poast more, whether I comment or not. Many times, other bloggery will inspire a poast from me, which is good, since I like to write and sometimes get bored with my own samey ideas. So, you see?
