    Bud Smith has a new story at Revolution John called "Thunder Lanes" which is about a walk through an ice storm to get to happy hour, following payday at the lumberyard.

    This is a great/small tour of a story with a dime. It is like a story with a slot in it for a nickel, a dime, a song or the answer to a mystery quiz. I will try to remember the phrase "like God crunching potato chips" about the pins crashing down in the background of the bowling alley.

    More analysis arose. Analysis friendly to lit. Got my tail wet on Fb yesterday, Matt Damon, I mean Bell. Adrian someone who reads no less well than S. Borders (female) ganged up on lit. crit. on a lit. crit. note page, a new type of illegal activity, Adrian said, to critique, to acknowledge, to give. The path had been laid by a woman for women, where women = one wide yellow sea of wheat. That would attract some who like illegal activity and would rile me who regards lit. crit. on a lit. crit. specific page as legal. Bore in bed!

    "That will cure ya, mother English. You are never to speak. Jail! Belt!" Sexy!

    Wow ... I simply got excited last evening thinking of two of Bud's stories side by side. This one, Thunder Lanes, and Forks and Knives, a stylistic comparison, style as related to the intensity of the trouble in the two stories that in some way are about the same main thing. I could write it as a brief lit. study in a location where writing is less chafed? Or quit trying to write in a fear-based environment on the first spontaneous day of Year of the Woman. Fear breeds fawning, unlike new people!
