November chill–

a barefoot man waits

for the northbound ferry

 

                      

 

an avalanche roars

down Thybder Mountain–

first crocus

  In a Comment to this post, Prof. Martin Grace has promised to change the unwieldy

  
  

  (hard to spell and type, too) name of his weblog — a tort et a travers– to RiskProf. 

  
  

  We applaud.  Now, maybe we can get Evan to ditch the parentheses and Matt to

  Ernie Svenson says: “we have gotten too intolerant of opposing political views.”  Yes.

However you do it, please do vote — and, once is enough.

 

 

 

snail–
the butterfly in a mad
hurry

 

 

hurry mist
hurry, hurry…
a bird set free
