Post No. 18

It was supposed to rain today? I felt nothing but dry heat and the occasional dusty wind. Will the weatherman ever be right? Today was a day of good ol' hard work. The kind of work that involves leather gloves and elbow grease. This morning, I along with my Dad and bro's started in the process of helping my great uncle make a extended roof over his backyard patio. Unlike Lincoln logs which is very easy to put together, this project is not going to be so simple. To build it, it's going to take some good know how and lots and lots of bottled water to fight against the Lone Star sun. But I think it might be finished by weeks end.
Still counting down the days till I head north again to Michigan. I'm I really going to visit the place I once called home?
In my last post I mentioned that I like to go on the rooftop sometimes at night. Well tonight I did that again and I saw not only one, but two large bats. I've never seen one fly at night out in the open before. I noticed that they fly very different from birds. The bats I saw continuously flapped their wings to move on through the air. The way I see the flight of birds is that they do flap but they also soar through the wind and many do it very gracefully. If I where to chose between the two, I'd like to be like a bird and soar out in the open sea of faces.
