Riding the Storm Out-REO Speedwagon

Shadowy Figures
Originally uploaded by Myth Maker.

On a no sun misty morning...
in the Midwest dark of winter...
during a semi-intelligent conversation debating the pros and cons of Captial Punishment...
in a classroom next door....
a young adult hurls a chair against the blackboard jungle.

As if my own were all pre-med interns...they scurry from our room...to administer emergency first aid...
It may also just be that they have been watching too much CSI...
and must view the scene of the crime...
and needed to practice their arm chair investigating skills.

In a school on the other side of town...
my former co-workers..
fight similar battles...
and I smile on the inside of myself...thinking...
hey....
maybe we should waste some of the budget on those trendy little blow up furniture pieces at
K-Mart.


"And I'm not missing a thing
Watching the full moon crossing the range
Riding the storm out...."
