I Hate Myself - To A Husband At War

things are here, and you're over there and in between: land, sea, everything i hope you're warm, and i hope you think of me in Petersburg, the way things used to be yesterday, a telegram said that you had died but i knew, but i know that it was a lie i tried to laugh but went back to my room and cried i mean our room, i went back to our room and cried retreat, and come back home retreat, and come back home retreat, and come back home retreat, and come back home

These Sandhill Cranes at Sweetwater Wetlands in Gainesville were NOT happy. They continually squabbled with each other near the path.

the commercial building west of San Felasco State Park, December 15, 2024

There is a building west of San Felasco State Park, and the Medium Armadillo has been monitoring it every day for the last month.  A wise owl told him that memories are manufactured there, and the Medium Armadillo thinks that sounds suspicious.  What is someone trying to hide that they are manufacturing memories?  The Medium Armadillo wants to do something about it.  Maybe he’ll break in someday.

His father, the Giant Armadillo, thinks that the building looks like the work of humans, and it is better to stay away from humans.  Every day they have to put up with bicyclists, and every full moon; and in the dead of winter they appear in droves as some sort of mid-hibernation ritual.  It was a step forward when the harvest man left.

The Medium Armadillo thinks his father could stand to have some curiosity.  Armadillos are not known for their intelligence, the way the great horned owl is, or the coyote, or the red-shouldered hawk, or the twin-flagged jumping spider, or the golden silk spider, or the double-crested cormorant, or the white ibis, or the Eastern indigo snake, or the green anole, or the American green tree frog, or the white-tailed deer, or the Eastern grey squirrel, or the alligator, or of course the anhinga.   But maybe with some curiosity the Medium Armadillo could change that.  What secrets could he learn by exploring the building?  And they're probably doing something evil, and he could stop them.  Perhaps by ramming into their equipment with his hard skin.  Or eating all the termites that work for the humans.

And he’d no longer be living in the shadow of his father anymore if he took control of the memory factory.

But tonight the Medium Armadillo is not spying on the building.  He is having a good rest in his warm burrow after a pleasant meal of ants with friends.

There’s little activity in the commercial building right now.  The crickets are hibernating and the lone star ticks are in diapause, and Florida woods cockroaches are staying warm in the dwellings of man, which is a cockroach's best friend.  It’s a full moon, which means that the Friends of San Felasco Community Support Organization is holding their night ride in five days, and the werepanthers are roaming the banks of the Santa Fe River to the north.  The hay bales abandoned by the harvest man are singing their sad song.  The one-eyed algae monster is eating holes in the ground, preparing his next sinkhole.  The creeks are gossiping and the legend of a dead 16th century explorer is waiting to be revived by a vulnerable youth.

Spring is coming and soon the days will be longer again.
