20070705

Studies go on. Learning the rules and lingo about patents. Taking the odd break to read or write something else, but mainly studying.

Plenty of fireworks in the streets yesterday, someof them sounding a bit louder than in previous years, I think people are pushing the limits on what fireworks they personally set off. But I didn't hear any sirens, so no major mishaps.

Back to work today, beautiful sunny morning and hopefully I can get out and go for a walk.

Rest of the crew here doing fine. Some are helping with preparations for a farm auction in Iowa - out among cornfields.

Hello Annie - yes, a bit one-track lately, seems to be what it takes sometimes. Thanks for the note and wishes. Hope your crew is doing well, too.

Those llamas are really something!

Hello Annie -
I did vote - there are some very strong elements in your story, which I think are pretty clear. It does take a bit of work (thinking) to piece together the possibilities of who the speaker is, who the 'bad guy' is, where everybody's from, where they're all going, and to some extent, where they are. Some of those things maybe could flow more easily, but the stark sense of justice and pain that runs through the story invites the effort.

I thought of maybe editing with some kind of tracking of changes so you could see where changes were made, but not clear how to do this...

Keep writing, Ammie. You have a lot to say.
