Crunchy. Cautious. Bold.

Good heading for the article about food, a film, a set of winter tyres, or the one about a woman who accepts the challenge and becomes a super hero (that, not a Superhero).

A work in progress.

For example is she “normal”, “ordinary” or “pre super hero”.

Is the food home-cooked, or the meal the bandit eats in a gleaming chrome-filled restaurant as he orders the job to be done.

The evening news as opposed to the inspiring fireside tales we tell.

Facts or said to be facts, are delivered from strange sources or good ones, we don’t always find it easy to tell the difference.

Intelligence allows one to question and take apart the reasons or lack of them, for this series of statements and thin explanations.

When the logs glow and we stare at the flicker of feeling, we can make questions good and answers better.

The sound of runnng water but not a dripping tap.

Both are similar, almost.

Soothing versus vexing.

And then there were three.

All bears are not the same.

I feel it.

Tonight we are grizzlingly in tune.
