Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for August 21, 2015

Anyone know where I left the spring?

Would this be inland or coastal?I’m seeing heavy industry, so it could go either way, now that we have the internal combustion engine and do not rely so much on the water for transport.Local climate depends greatly on the presence of water, specifically its heat sink and evaporative cooling properties, lest the Sun heat the Earth’s lighted surface to 243f, while the unenlightened suffer at -253f, like the Moon does.Layers… it’s all about the layers.If they aren’t layers, they are fryers.

Nothing like good forged sportswear.

I would say so, yes.

I prefer my hair shirt, thank you very much.

Kinda behind the season, aren’t you, my muscular friend? I must add, while on the job, you look better (and safer) in overalls than in a lightweight dress….

Industrial french horn?

Taking sartorial advice from Elmer the heavy duty pipe and pump fitter is always risky.

God, I love Frog Applause.

Don’t forget the steel-toed flip-flops.

But I’ve never really felt comfortable in a light-weight dress.

Little late for that, the dresses have melted in the heat.

Aren’t they all on clearance now?

That’s the truth.Peasants like me dig strength and beauty.While the “finer” things always find a way to survive the inevitable upheavals and cataclysms, it is seldom done easily or with style, and usually in dependence upon those who embrace a more practical approach to life.

Haircut anyone?
