Butcher Knife Creek Rushing water passes by as the aspen tree leaves drift this way and that. One lonely leaf rides the tiny rapids catching on a rock and drying in the morning sun. Many unfound observations lie underneath my eyes in the place I go to when I’m feeling lost and just need a break from the times when life gets in the way.

Quiet Kill Believe you me, on second thought the more I think about Sherlock’s situation, the more the fun festival just keeps on growing. It’s like his disappearance was a revelation, it was a reckoning. Basically, it all amounts to different strokes for different folks. Lastly, Sherlock might have made a wish and said, “Oh, now I’m backed into a corner, and can’t devise a way out. I could sure use a deus ex machina right about now, but that’s doubly hard to get.” The captain threw the…
