TBW Daily Diary

Our thanks to all who sent their congratulations on the anniversary of the blog. It was especially nice to hear from Alan Peters in Palm Springs. It has been almost two years since Alan left Harrisburg for his oasis in the desert . . . Brief visit from Liz Gomes who we haven’t seen for a while . . . I love sitting out in the evenings to spot the occasional lightning bug that flits by. I am sure that I have one “buddy” but Bob insists that it cannot be the same one every night. Being country folk, we both miss those summer evenings when as twilight gathered a horde of fireflies would rise from the wheat field and entertain us for an hour or so. And what kid hasn’t lined a jar with grass, punched holes in the top and gone off in search of enough bugs to brighten his bedroom at night? Somehow neither of us ever collected enough, and we couldn’t understand why they were all dead by morning . . . Wonder if there are fireflies in Palm Springs. We will have to ask Alan about that . . . PennLive has upgraded its business listings so that consumers can rate their shopping experiences at various venues. You can “review” The Bare Wall and give it a rating yourself by going to http://businessfinder.pennlive.com/1791795/Bare-Wall-Gallery-Harrisburg-PA . . . The rating box is on the left part way down the page . . . (Posting early since severe storms are predicted for this afternoon and evening) . . .
