Down From A Weird duck

By Robert M. Neff

This collection of "Memories, Mirth and Messages" is presented as 'leakage' from an old warrior's brain. It is hoped that it is both entertaining and thought provoking.
From a dog in Minnesota to an axe in Arizons;
From a fire in Japan to a Storm in Galilee;
From painting to waiting; From a dance to a parrot in church,
You will find it, and more, here. Please enjoy and share.
