Sunlight warms the old railroad ties that hold up my mailbox. One of these days, those strong, square pieces of wood will tumble down, and they look pretty disreputable now, but I like them.

Just call me the Blue Jeans Writer. I’m more comfortable in a pair of jeans than anything else, have been since I was pre-teen. In summer, it’s tee shirt and jeans.
