Cure For Leaky Eyes?

The other sad thing is that the beavers disappeared. I guess the Dept of Environmental Conservation decided the big dam was so close to the road it represented a flooding hazard. They wouldn’t be wrong. It’s just I’d grown very attached to the beaves, to some extent calibrated my day around their schedules. I know, I know – weird.

I don’t think they would have killed them. Just trapped and resettled them.

I remain extremely teary this morning which is a drag – I’m supposed to go to the Finger Lakes Wine Festival in Watkins Glen later today and if I’m hysterical not only will I have a horrible time but I will completely alienate the gentleman who sprang a pretty penny for my ticket.

On the other hand the beauty of this place does lift my soul immeasurably. Upstate NY in the summertime is quite the lovliest place on the planet.

Yes, beavers are protected, so they must have been moved. I'm sorry for all your recent heartache, but I don't have kids, and don't know how to deal with all that.

I hope you are able to have a good time at the wine festival. Something I've found through my acting experience is that pretending to be happy and smiling a lot actually does improve my mood. It can't hurt to try it.

Hey man, ya got a date man, that is good. I do admire your thinking of the dude vis-a-vis teariness but I'm sure you're having a good time as we speak.

I did once visit a woman friend in Rochester. Drove her around the Finger Lakes for a few hours, kinda around Cornell. Pretty. I did like the rolling hills, like meadows with trees in the background.

I hear you about the beavers. It's enough to have something to attach to, who needs to know why. I stare at the not-much garden I planted this year as though it's about to do something. But it matters to me, me staring at it. Sorry they trashed the dam.

Let us know what tastes good from the region this year.

Wait'll the leaves change. That's pretty too.

I agree, I think getting out and spending time in the company of adults is the best thing for you.
