Lets Jump Together

They’re back - all those big June Bugs.
Fluttering outside the screen of the open window as they go towards the light I have on beside me.

It is always hard to let go of the summer.

But we aren’t usually out on the roads much at night either.
My son was driving his girlfriend home last Wednesday night about 10:15.
Not more than five minutes [...]
