The Card Players
How we envy their not caring, their sculptural crossing of legs, their idle tossing of cards!
When they get up, they are satisfied as if from work or war. They rub their hands, adjust belts, jingle change in their pockets, and see that their wives have been faithful in their absence.
—David Ray, Tucson poet

I live in Picture Rocks and on the SW side of my home I have dust devils starting up and going through my home several times a day and it’s shake rattle and roll 🙂
