HE'S BACK

When I was a kid, we went out with teachers at night and looked at stars.

Well, once.

And the one constellation I learned was Orion.

I knew about the dippers.

Since then, Orion has been my main man.

I can see him out here for all but the summer months. He goes behind the hills when it gets dark around June and then comes back in the morning in August.

This morning as a matter of fact.

I went out to get the paper and it was just dark enough to see him on the eastern horizon.

I just happened to look and there he was.

A thrill.

I mean it.

The one dependable thing in my life. Sorta.

Orion.

The hunter.

In this picture he looks a bit camp but they get the essence.

Hey. It takes some imagination!
