He stared into his coffee. He held on to the fragile cup as if it were a last strand connecting him to reality.”
–Henry McLaughlin (Journey to Riverbend)
Heard yur jinglebobs, so I have coffee in hand ready for yuh. Pard, it’s not early, but it’s still dark. Yuh know what that’s a sign of don’t yuh. Winter? Nah, it means soon they’re goin’ to mess with the clock and turn it back. At least it will be natural time. People always think they have a better idea, and well, sometimes they do, but there are things that are best left alone.
Just look at that coffee yuh hold in yur hand. Just fine the way it is, but there are some that want to mess with it, add all kinds of contrary things to it. My mercy, the way the world is, it’s nice to have something that is real, simple, and brings delight.
Been ponderin’ this week. The Lord shore is good! Even with the mess that the world and the devil throws our way, we can depend upon the goodness of the Lord to override it. Ha, and I even had a good chuckle when some of those pseudo-smart liberals laughed at the President when he said that coyotes carry children across the border. It shows how “woke” they are when they don’t know what a “coyote” is. Hmmm, Pard, you do know it’s not the howlin’ kind, nor ol’ Wiley either? Just thought I’d check.
Let’s finish the pot. Ha, an’ just when yuh think nothin’ good can come out of Seattle, here we sit drinkin’ some of Seattle’s Best. Not bad, not bad… It’ll get yuh movin’ this chilly mornin’. Yuh best be takin’ care. Say, have yuh checked yur cinch lately? It’s not gettin’ worn is it?
