shshshhshshsh…this is….shshshshh ……..crowe……..shshs… over. It has been a hurricane of a month here…………….hgmn. It has been a stormy month……. It has been a month since i returned or maybe a year, i never know. time seems so irrelevant when you don't have it around for a few days, or a few years. that's what bama was like,after the hurricaine, a couple days of silence. lights and phones cut off by act of god. everyone cooking over an open gas-grill drinking those neat little plastic bottles of surprisingly good water. traffic slowed down partly to peruse the damage around town but also you could sense a general unrush. all intersections became four way stops and the people were remarkable. i've never seen montgomery so serene and friendly. i slept through most of the ivan experience even when he was pulling metal off the hotel.  interestingly enough an austringer with a barometer said it was off the charts during the whole time and that could be why we all got so relaxed, like the whole town was on baromic quaaludes and got that peaceful easy feeling again. anyway we made it through unscathed, which is more than i can say for all those animals that perished  in the plethora of barbequed beast that was consumed on gas-grills. alabama's' average weight must have put on ten pounds. i'm feeling it myself. southern food has a way of sneaking up on you and grabbing you around the waist. my bandas are swelling with cornbread and collard greens. there have been multitudes of blessed meetings of friends and strangers this month, which is the most important part of being on the road. ok enough, you kids keep it real out there. ill be easing a little further south tomorrow to my brothers cabin in the woods of orlando. ill contact you from there. a few things in bama during october and then ill be looking for somewhere to fly for winter. who knows where. for now tomorrows journey will have to do. thank you for all your prayer in whatever form they take .all is one as my man on the soap bottle says.
