A poltergeist & Life As A Texican

 What in the hell actually is a poltergeist?  This is the thought that intrudes upon my thinking.  I don’t know what exactly a poltergeist is supposed to be, but I won’t be reading books and trying to learn about them.  I wonder though if there might be any chapters on adopted pets and deceased owner attachments?  I wonder if there are any chapters about poltergeists co-occurring in homes with another type of spirit.  

My thoughts turn to the Garza’s and Charlie and his tickets.  They were very important to him.  They were about things that he did well and had success with.  I wrote them for him during each school day.  It is amazing actually how many people that I wouldn’t have wanted to have missed knowing are residents of the Rio Grande Valley where I felt I was among others and not part of the local culture and community of people.  Others aren’t so other when we know them.  That may sound like a most inarticulate sentence, but for me, I understand it perfectly.  

My father’s sisters.  I shouldn’t think of them as people that I haven’t seen or had much contact with in many years.  I should think of them with the memory of the family relationships and their importance.  

The Texas Rio Grande Valley is actually quite a melting pot of people.  These are weird thoughts for Thanksgiving.  I guess they aren’t as weird though as Trump’s insane and most anti presidential words during his turkey pardoning ceremony.
