…No one will make us any promises, so we have to settle for hope.

…Everyone needs to learn how to kill their own spiders.

…This morning the lake looked like it had faint, pink skin, like the color of a new sunburn just getting started.  I waited for the beaver to swim by, but he must have slept in, or maybe he found a better lake.  There are quite a few of those around here.

…--“Words are all I have sometimes.  Most times.”

…--“But you’re pretty quiet.”

…--“That’s what I’ve been trying to tell you.”

…Fate is such a sneaky little bastard.

…--“You’re probably paying for this, you know?”

…--“Yeah, I’m paying for it.”

…--“What does that mean?”
