Living Without Gravity is Uplifting (2)

Yes, I found out when I turned a circuit breaker off in the house that I turned off the gravity as well. I’m not real good with electricity or gravity. I get the equations right but I didn’t realize I could control them. I had messed around with the wiring and I must’ve messed something up.

I turned off the circuit breaker for the gravity, and I forgot Michael Stipe was still in the tree. He came tumbling down along with my Jack Russell terrier.A few branches broke their fall, and they were no worse for the wear.

Up on Bark Chip Mountain

But now I didn’t have any hot water. It looks like I had to go revisit Maslow with his hierarchy of needs. A week ago , I had a large mound of bark chips delivered to the front of the house. It was daunting , how big that mountain was. I ordered a metric yard and I must’ve got a metric ton. I looked rather ridiculous sitting on top of a bark chip mountain the air was somewhat colder up there and I was waiting for the light rain to turn to snow.

It never did, but I was cold. I was surprised to see Michael climb that mountain as well. He got to the top of our wood mountain with chips in his hair, a few arachnids and some thorns from a rosebush. Michael always looks good despite the mess.

We sat silently, figuring the order of the cosmos and had no real good ideas. Then we realized we forgot the dog. She scurried up to the top of Wood Chip Mountain accidentally. I don’t know what I would’ve done if that squirrel had not made the ascent..

Luna looked at us with her deep, dark eyes and she tried to tell us something. She knew what we had to do but I wasn’t figuring it out. Michael is smarter than I. He looked at the dog then back at me and handed me two pieces of red licorice .He said we need to do some night swimming..
