A Real Eye-Opener

A Real Eye-Opener

Spent some time today amongst the beautiful people

In the downtown area of our big city

Everybody rushing about oblivious to their surroundings

Intent on doing what they set out to do

Alone in their own little world

Unaware of hundreds of people passing by

Other people, each with their own agendas

Heading to business meetings, wining and dining clients

Clandestine meetings of secret lovers

All happening before our very eyes

When you live in the burbs, it can sure be a real eye opener

The clandestine meetings are going on here too

But on a much smaller scale and a much less obvious manner

I don't think it has really changed much over the years

Other than just becoming more overt

The rumour mill is most likely still churning

But the sensationalism is missing

It has become more routine

Well spending time in the big city was a real eye opener

Makes me appreciate my retirement life in the burbs

A WHOLE LOT more!

Hey JACK HAMMER!!!.......I can totally understand where you're coming from.......I Lived right on the beach in downtown Chicago (or directly across the street)...... the view from my rooftop was of LAKE MICHIGAN....... looks like an ocean it's so big.......the neighborhood and the kind people living on Lake Shore Drive were a true pleasure to be around ......VERY exciting lifestyle and unbelievably beautiful neighborhood filled with retired personages who held a wealth of knowledge......... so I miss it .......but notĀ 30 minutes from that location is one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in America........ people dying daily.........I have to say......I am truly happy here in NORTH CAROLINA........ took a while to get used to how quiet it is at night...... But I am healing quickly here........ and like never before.......I have found "Honest Love"........ near impossible to find in the city........thanx for reminding me just how lucky I am.......ALL STARS!!....... great read!!.......LOVE and ROCKETS!!.......T xo. ?āœ³āœ“ā˜€

WOWSERS!!! You two guys were made for each other... although your former abode with a view of Lake Michigan sounded pretty nice! Until we moved up here north of the big city, we lived a medium size town about 35 miles west of Toronto and we also had a glorious view of another of one of the Great Lakes... Lake Ontario! Glad to hear you've adapted to a quieter life style! Having sweet Cherie to share things with ain't bad either!!! LOL LOVEĀ and ROCKETS!!! Jake xo
