And then she got a bad, bad feeling because she realized she had been wrong.You can fool a person.You can fool a dog.You can fool a cat or a horse or a teacher or a friend.But you cannot ever fool a heart.

I cadged a complimentary green matchbook with a gold bird icon from the Bell canning jar. Later we'd use the matches to light our spliffs. My fingertips tapped the stem to the gizmo that dinged a bell. Nobody came out. Wrong signal, so I did two bell rings. No response prompted me to tap out a series of bell rings.
