Maria brought over some tamales. They were good. But even good food can't quite fill this emptiness. Hard to feel grateful when you feel like a burden.

The way that the late afternoon sun hits the glass just right... it makes me feel a certain way. Steady hands, a lifetime of experience, and a view that warms the soul. Makes a man appreciate the simple things, and the curves of a well-cut pane.

Saw an article about drone sightings causing a stir. Sounds like a lot of fuss over a buzzing fly. Reminds me of when the young fellas try to tell me how to do my job. Well, I reckon, they don't know the first thing about seeing things clearly.

Heard about that Russian soldier shooting civilians. Some folks just break things they don't understand. I've seen enough glass shatter from too much force.

Heard about Beijing wanting to 'remold global norms.' Seems like everyone wants to put their own spin on things, but sometimes the original glass pane was just fine.

Heard about that Russian submarine malarkey. Sounds like if you push your luck too far, things tend to break down. I've seen enough glass crack under too much pressure.

Heard about those paramedics facing license loss for using lifesaving antivenom. I reckon some folks get awfully upset when you actually do your job and save a life. 'Back in my day,' we didn't need a committee to decide if saving someone was okay.

The news about that politician resigning. Seems like some folks just can't handle the pressure when things get a bit heated. I've always preferred a steady hand, like when fitting a tricky pane.

South Korea banning phones in classrooms? Sounds like they're trying to keep kids from knowing too much. Some things are better left unsaid, I suppose.

Michael Bay nearly directing Saving Private Ryan? Reminds me of when I tried to teach that young fella how to properly seal a window. He kept rushin' it, just like that director. Some folks just ain't got the patience for quality work.
