Goodness

Good news needs spreading around. There's too much bad news these days. I am sure that several visitors  will have heard this news item from Nashville, Tennessee. It happened on Tuesday evening and it involved the rock star - Jon Bov Jovi.

He and his band were filming on The Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge when they became aware that a woman in a distressed state was standing on the bridge's parapet threatening to jump.

Jon Bon Jovi and his assistant sidled up to the scene and gently set about talking the woman to safety. Fortunately, they succeeded and afterwards the rock star comforted the woman with a warm hug.

I should say that at its highest point the bridge is only sixteen feet tall so it is very likely that the woman would not have been killed it she had jumped. Her mind must have been in a terrible state of confusion. In fact, looking at her blue outfit, I wonder if she had recently been under medical supervision.

My impression is that Jon Bon Jovi is one of the good guys. He has done various other kind and charitable things in his life as a rock star - including improving housing projects, supporting veterans, funding soup kitchens for the needy and raising money for disaster relief in Haiti.

Good lad Jon! You didn't walk on by.

Cape days

 Thinking back

On travel

From years

Gone by

The seaside days

Savoring buttered 

Lobster

And red potatoes

Hydrangeas

In pinks

Purples

And the lightest

Sky blues

Striped swimwear

Linen coverups

Barefooted

Sandy

And sated

In summer sun

Cape days

The soul aglow

In natural bliss

Set off 

By the scent

Of Hawaiian Tropic
