Papa and I finished mowing
in the feild in the morning
Wilfred came down in afternoon
we turned over hay cocks and
gathered up mowed hay.
Wilfred went to town in evening
when he came back he said Mr
and Mrs Frost and Henry Mertens
had an auto accident.

All down the block people are flying flags. The breeze lifts them and the sun shines through. I feel at one with my neighbors. It is impossible to put my mind to anything. I went to the office, but did not work. Puna showed me pictures on the web. I went to Jenny's to try to have the meeting we were supposed to have yesterday, but mostly we just watched tv. We heard Powell talk. And Rumsfeld Throughout soccer I found I was holding my cell phone in my hand because it made me feel better. Suddenly it's not just a gadget, but a totem of, not security, but connection, unity.
