Dial Up

Hopefully this gets uploaded in less than a week. I'm in the middle of the woods at my parents house in Will-kill-ya (Wakulla) county about 45 minutes south of Tallatrashy. Sitting in the living room, looking out the window into the black abyss of the swamp at night. The occasional firefly bangs into the window and lights up for a second or gets caught in a spider web and creates a dazzling show of hopelessness. The crickets and frogs aren't very vocal these days. I guess we haven't had much rain lately. I just heard my black lab, Bear, take a deep breath trying to sleep in the kitchen. My psychotic cat, Snickers, will probably be scratching at the door in a second. God damn this is peaceful. Not a single noise or light that isn't coming from this house or the woods. I can see all the stars. I can feel the cool night breeze as I step out onto the porch. It's getting a little too hot outside for the hot tub, but the pool is exquisitely refreshing. I love absorbing the sun's energy. Maybe I'll go for a hike tomorrow morning. I'm taking a few days off the bike to really get rid of this smoker's cough I've had going on for a week or so. I like having spiders in my room so I don't have to deal with moths flying in my face at night. Others disagree. The mosquito's are bad here. I can't walk outside for more than 5 minutes without having the blood sucked out of me by multiple vermin. Reminds me of something else, but I can't quite put my finger on it. I think I'm getting carpel tunnel from all this shite TV. I've got a few fun pseudo-plans for this week including some springs adventures and kayaking. Check back for a summary if you're really as bored as I am right now.
