Kliban by B. Kliban for October 13, 2014

It’s undated….so is it 1489, and a wishful daydream, or the 1493 memory of past glory?

Fun fact: on February 14, 1812, Columbus discovered Ohio.

And on March 21 1821Columbus discovered Indiana

On Oct. 10 2014 I discovered a squirrel in my attic.

One day, you’re a figure in history. The next,you’re just a rock. And then the dog approaches.

Lucky it’s half buried, a rolling stone gathers no Columbus.

Barbara Streisand“The Way We Were..” Memories, like the corners of my mind, misty watercolor memories, of the way we were…..(Now good luck getting that song out of your noodle)

And it was all downhill for the continent and its native inhabitants from there.

Fraggle Rock…..
