Day 12 - Saturday

We were joking and laughing and having a good time and frankly it was way more comfortable to be out of the frey of the party and the crowd.

The soft-pop melody of Mark Almond was broken by ‘NSYNC’s Space Cowboy, jumping the room into a whole other generation, a decade or so closer to the present where Saturday afternoon cascaded light and warmth in through an open window.

“Hey, Cowboy!” as she popped another almond into her mouth.
“Howdy, Jule. You hadn’t called me &lsquo

I like... him. I wish he'd show. Mixie thought to herself. There was no one to hear her if she had spoke it out loud, but this was more her way.
She was talking about Janse. She sees how much others look up to him. He is one of the nomads and she rightly believes he is not always on planet. She has heard outlanders talk, as they do, about anxiously waiting for him to come around for all the things he can do for them. He is larger than life.
Mixie's farm is on a plateau, bordered on the west by shear cliff drop to the Armyer Plain. From the precipice over the cliff dwellers, Mixie can just see the wind mills on the edge o
