September 1999 Move backwards to August 1999 . Pearls of morning dew, heavy on each blade of grass. Shoes soaked, spirits high. Weak early sunshine hints at scorcher to follow.
Tomatoes bliss out.
Crazy tomato out for early evening roll, smiles, waves at neighbors. Wicked tomato luring worms to wretched lives, gross obesity. Thick-skinned tomato withstands life's most crushing blows, tastes like stale cardboard. Clams can cure cancer. Dead man pays library fine.
