My Town Page #5

And it destroys all reasoning, it takes on its own life

and it'll destroy everything that all of you here are trying to save.

I mean, can't you see that?

Do you really believe that by not talking about certain subjects

the possibility of problems will just disappear? Just go away?

Now, you all know that I have two grandchildren.

And I guess you know how much I...

I love them.

I love them very much.

And truth is that boy and that girl mean more to me

than anybody or anything else on Earth.

I just hope they don't fall victim to life's troubles

because I didn't have courage.

The courage to let them know more than I did at their age.

AMBER:
The school board voted 10-to-1 to keep Miss Adams.

It would've been unanimous except that Fletcher Mays put a lot of heat on one lady.

If she didn't vote no, he said he'd divorce her.

And the Fishers stayed after all.

Until they get the hang of things, Lucas came up with a solution

that everybody seems to be happy with.

Well, almost everyone.

I never did find out what was going on with the boys.

All I know for sure is they're grounded for two weeks for stealing some man's mail.

Had to apologize too. They're better now,

although once in a while, Tug still acts kinda weird.

As for Lucas, well, I was wrong. Real wrong.

He's just about the most excellent thing around.

When I was little,

Lucas told me something a man named Samuel Johnson once said,

"Home is that part of the world where people know when you're sick,

"miss you when you die and love you while you live."

Guess that's pretty much the way Wheelerville is for me.

For now, at least.

Anyway, it's not that bad in Wheelerville,

how bad can it be? It's my town.
