Frank Waters, On Writing

This writing, criticizing, reviewing, lecturing -- this hawking of words, to put it crudely -- is more than a craft whose products occasionally achieve the dimensions of art. It is a magic, as often black as white. From On Writing, 1968, by Frank Waters

Here are a few pics I recently took at Jeems (pronounced James) Bayou. Mid November, the temperature was hot, near 90 degrees. The trees and plants knew that despite the high temperatures the season was still late Fall. The variation in colors attested to that. The water was dark, like a primordial stew. If the head of some giant prehistoric beast had pierced its tranquil surface it wouln't have surprised me.

Yesterday the temperature in Oklahoma City reached 83 degrees. My moonflowers think it is still summer. Maybe it is.

Monterey, a Ghost Town Shrouded in Mystery

Little is known for sure about the town of Monterey and no one is really sure if it was located in Louisiana or Texas. This is because nothing remains of the town today except two graves. A plat of the town exists in the Vivian Museum, though little or nothing is known about who lived there or who ran businesses there. What is known is that Monterey had a riverboat landing and was home to 1000 or so inhabitants. In 1878, the little town even had a U.S. post office. The names on the graves are T. E. Samuel and Ernest L. M. Sleet. Samuel was born in Orange County, Virginia and died October 6, 1880. Sleet was born March 1, 1861 and died January 17, in 1878. The town of Monterey is shrouded in mystery. What is known is that outlaws, pirates and adventurers visited the town that is now all but gone -- except for two graves and many unknown ghosts.
