The Classic White Lantern
Solar Powered Cheapo from the Local Store
Lights come in many designs, many colors, and draw from various powers.
Lights are especially desirable and requested during dark or night hours.
Lanterns were originally designed like candle wicks in the oil,
but now we can aquire solar powered versions without the toil.
I have a solar powered lantern, hanging in the garden from a tree limb.
Rectangular, it glows in amber hues, and is not bothered by the wind.
I had it set near my autumn holiday decorations for a gentle light -
Now I have it decorating a different section that accentuates the white.

Teacher Lesson Plan 1: Business Changes
Excerpt quote from online research: "In 1906, Sears was a flourishing catalog company that had just launched a highly successful initial public offering. The company went public under the name Sears, Roebuck and Co. after completing the construction of an enormous new headquarters and distribution center in Chicago, which totaled 3 million square feet of floor space over 40 acres of land. Sears advertised the new complex as “the largest mercantile plant in the world,” and included illustrations of it on the backs of its catalogs. It was a heady time for the company, but not everything was running smoothly." Internet 2025.

Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though? Nicotine is off the table.
