Flying Pigs? Why not??
Basements, especially unfinished, dank, poorly lit ones have a way of etching themselves, their mildew, their sepia, their very essence into our souls when we are children, never to be forgotten and only to be enhanced and magnified as we age.
They draw us into the unknown, the forbidden, the pith of what supports our lives above ground. They reveal Truth to us individually, completely. They become knowledge.
They might be the place where adults disappear into, sometimes for long periods of time, sometimes to quickly emerge with firewood, folded clothes, or some object never before seen by young eyes. They might be a place where we are left alone to consider the ramifications of our actions.
They might be the place where we first learn to balance on a bike, or where we first see a really ugly painting, or where we experience real fright for the very first time.
Then and now, they beckon and warn us like foghorns whisper to sailors in dense fog: Come closer; the shoal is near!

Halibut visits his country cousin--Rosie of County Fairfield
Halibut has been living out of a suitcase ever since leaving County Santa Cruz more than five weeks ago. During that time he has stayed in County Middlesex for two weeks, visited County Dukes at Martha's Vineyard for ten days, camped at County Lamoille in Vermont for five days, and most recently he has paid a visit to his country cousin, Rosie of County Fairfield in Connecticut. Rosie has shared her yard, her kibble, and many other possessions freely and with grace, and Halibut is much obliged, gratified, and indebted. He will no doubt aspire to return the hospitality in good time.
