First they saw the cat Dustball in
the field
Rusty felt like he was dreaming because the day was so still, quiet,
and lovely. He felt like the "real world" had slipped away to be
replaced by a good dream.
Tyler was smiling.

Then they found another cat
Tyler discovered a bronze panther at the middle school. It was the
mascot for the little kiddies he supposed.
"Why a panther?"
Tyler
wondered. Oakdale was a dairy and nut farm town.
"Why not make a
statue of an almond with arms & legs sort of like Mr. Peanut?"

Gophers!
|
|
|
Tyler found a dirt pile in the
middle school field
|
|
|
Tyler sniffed & then he dug
|
|
|
Gophers were prolific in the Central
Valley. God loved gophers a lot because he made so many of them.
They served some special purpose of nature. Only no one knew what
that was.

Carignane way led to Chablis Dr., then to Ribier Dr.
|
|
|
This is where they discovered the rose
house. It was the cream of Boxville. A sort of secret loop where all
the homes were custom designed by architects. Rusty thought it was
the scariest part of Boxville. All the wealthy people had huddled on
this loop trying to escape the mediocrity of the cookie cutter
builder's houses.
But this island of the elite only reinforced the feeling that it was
a prison. These special people had isolated themselves with their
own mirror images.
There was no joy on Ribier Dr., nor was there on Chablis Dr., and
Carignane way was the same.

The light had a strange quality because
the sunset was glowing off a huge cloud bank. Rusty's camera would
not focus on it properly, so he had a hard time photographing it.
The picture shows a small portion of the strangeness that he felt,
the cloud that created this shadowless orange light.

While Tyler took his rest
Rusty
snapped a nice profile shot of his German Shepherd head.
People often remarked what a handsome dog was Tyler. Rusty would
agree and say
"He gets his good looks from my side of the family.
My mother was German."
That was a good joke because many
people smiled at it.
