Another road side attraction

I have been reading a very imaginative book lately.  Its about a hippy butterfly and a tarzan sculpter and there roadside attraction.  This free spirited couple turn a old mom and pop restaurant into a hot dog stand/ roadside zoo.  There weekends consist of meditating, studying butterflies and picking rare mushrooms in the woods.  Its a magical story that every one should read.  I am on a cloud as I am captured by the book.



"That summer, Amandas big project was the establishment of a butterfly conservatory.   Since many moths have a very short life span,  there was a big turnover among the inhabitants of her institution.  Down by the waterfall, Amanda pitched her tent -- it was made of willow sticks and the wool of black goats.  Having filled the tent with her largest and softest paisley cushions, Amanda stripped down to her beads and panties and fell into a trance.  " I shall shall determine how to prolong the lives of butterflies," she had previously announced.  However, an hour later when she awoke, she smiled mysteriously.  "The life-span of a butterfly is precisely the right length," she said.





"There is no such thing as a weird human being.  Its just that some people require more understanding than others. "
