Bob: Seventeen. Right passage.
Simple. Life. Yes. No. Stay. Go. ©
Morning delivers cold pieces of bare truth.
Neighbor teen tall, but inside small.
Stunned. Giddy.
She’s liked enough to be trashed.
Life brighter.
Small bits always remembered.
Bye,
Bob.
More Bob here.

I didn’t realize such things still happened. I thought everyone busied themselves with inappropriate photos or trashing people on FB these days. I love seeing that. Dare I say it reminds me of certain adventures in my own young life?

Ahhh, looks like Texas Albino Spanish Moss. Very decorative. Bob, in all his wisdom, has correctly identified the harmless, and playful nature of the infestation. It can be quite eye-catching in a high wind.

I’ve never had my yard toilet-papered, and I hope I never do. I’ve heard it’s tricky to get rid of, especially if it rains!

As long as they didn’t wet it down, the TP is fun 🙂 I figured out quickly such pranks weren’t for me… I laughed so hard I couldn’t get the rolls tossed high enough in the trees/cacti!

In my youth TP was a handy medium… At my friend’s boarding school it was rationed, so of course all the students then used it, unused, for writing paper… In celebraton of end of year we unfurled it out of bus windows. We adorned the school grounds and students in it at “muck up” prior to our last days. Such a universal, available item 🙂
