Kindness and Generosity

There are certain noises in this world that one never gets accustomed to, like that of a Carrier window unit air conditioner.

One good push from the inside and it's history. While lying there I could almost hear the constant drip of the condensation draining from the valve outside the house. By now the St. Augustine grass underneath has given way from the constant torture of relentless water leaving only a large patch of bear muddy earth.
