Walking Iten's Acres: Mythology December 31, 2015

I heard some interesting mythology today--at the gas station. I mean, where else can you find such stories? They said that there used to be this bright yellow thing up in the sky. No, really, Even on the coldest days it would make things warmer and, of course, brighter. There were times during the year that it would make all these little colorful things pop out of the ground--some of them even had aromas! I know! Man, fantastical stuff. It would even turn your skin brown if you were out in it too long. Whoa, does that mean prophets would have had to cover their bald heads? How would you know who they were? Scary! They said sometimes it made things so hot you had to turn on these machines called air confusers or air conflicters, or air . . . conditioners. Yea, that was it--air conditioners. To cool off buildings and stuff. They called it the sun--I guess because like sons brighter up your day. Now, now, I'm not saying daughters can't be bright--I'm just discussing the mythology. Gee, don't be so sensitive. Anyway, it's just a myth. I've seen such things that might make you want to believe. I've seen pictures of those pretty things that supposedly come out of the ground. There's this strange box like machine outside my cave that someone could imagine to be one of those air things. But hey, I've lived in Ohio long enough to know a myth when I hear it. Especially coming from a couple guys in a gas station. And I'm not wearing anything on my head! Sun. Humph. The things people come up with. Well, off for another gray walk under the lovely skies of Ohio. Enjoy your day!
