By the way, I forgot to mention the water tower which is causing quite a stir among the city fathers of the village. Right now, you should tell them, it is an eyesore, but given the right coat of bright yellow paint, it will look like a huge metal flower looking over us as we go about our lives while pausing occasionally to drink the water that pours from it. You should certainly try to remember that when you're feeling sad. After all, who wouldn't want to drink from a flower, let alone live under one? And to think of all those birds eating the seeds that we put out for them and that rascal squirrel with his friend the rabbit eating them too! Oh, it really is all too much isn't it?
