Thank you OMY1. Ya know, this writing feels closer to the real me. The election season got me worked up - damn those doggoned political commercials - and that showed up in my writing. Now it's over, and I can settle down and do what for me is more enjoyable writing, like this piece.

Of course, I'm still writing about things which may not be suitable for general audiences. Such as guys with the clap pulling the pipes out of the wall when they make water. In that example, I can't help it: when I was in the Navy, I knew guys who did that after coming back from liberty.
