James, I seldom send anonymous mail. Please excuse me for not speaking directly to you.
The enclosed poem, featured in todays Writers Almanac, put me in mind of an incident I observed from the kitchen window of my Fjord home one morning last summer, an incident involving, as I recall, a leashed dog and its human companion, neither of whom I could now confidently pick out of a police lineup. If it wasnt you, James, dont worry about it. If, however, it might have been you, well, I hope the poem inspires improved neighborly behavior.
Sincerely,
A Fjord Resident
