I just hope it’s instantaneous.

Ever since I moved to 1880 fourteen years ago, I have felt pretty sure that my mode of departing this life would occur with my driving out of the neighborhood and on to Commercial, turning left against traffic at this intersection:

But in the past few months I’ve noticed that more and more I just avoid this intersection altogether and drive down beautiful, tree-lined Saginaw to a safe right turn on Owens.

So, I recently came to acknowledge that there is another death-trap right out my back door — the magnolia roots.  I expect I will trip over them and crash down on my head one slippery morning when I venture out in the pre-dawn wearing the Uggs slippers, coffee in one hand, crossword in the other.

    • Not a bad way to go at all. 24/7 I can smell these temptations when I’m working on my raised beds. I personally recommend the cinnamon twists.
