The Forest of Fear

Do forgive my extreme laziness for not having posted for over a week- I simply don't know why I haven't done so, besides the one fact that something is on my mind recently. Honestly, besides being a trifle under the weather (something that usually does not happen to me), I have spent the last few days looking through and looking at a great many things of interest that I will write about shortly.

To start off this volley of amusements, I finally got to scratch off my so-called Bucket List one item- the purchase of a tree shaped car freshener.  Many years ago, when I was interested in one person (who turned out to be a bitch, as they so often do), said person had a collection of many of these trees in different colors hanging prominently in the car mirror, and I thought that was a jolly assemblage.  Not having a car myself, nor being interested even in being in a car for the most part, I never gave it much thought until quite recently when I was in a car wash (not for my car) and to while away the time, I picked up a pine scented freshener.

Upon taking it home, expecting the lushness of the deep forest, what assailed me instead was something so commercial and artificial that I had to throw it away, but not before taking a photo.  Nothing beats the real thing, of course.
