Dick Hedd The Most Opinionated Man In The World

by

Now that spring has sprung I've been spending some time sitting by the open window, looking out at my green lawn. I kept hearing this tinkling, musical sound off in the distance, like an audible apparition of a bygone era where ice cream trucks would come through your neighborhood and you'd beg your father for a dollar so you could run out to the street and get a cool, refreshing ice cream on a warm day. This thought swept me away several days in a row.

Then I realized it's the wind chime hanging on my dumb ass neighbor's porch!

    Ha! Wonderful. I have what used to be fond memories from my youth when I would wake up on a sunny, Sunday morning, and hear the beautiful sound of an owl calling from the local cemetery. I only recently learned the sound is actually that of a pigeon.
