Note
Coming back home this morning after doing a couple of errands. The light at the center of town had just changed to pedestrian mode and the woman who tends the flower gardens was crossing with a couple of her implements. She crossed quickly. There was still a little time left on the pedestrian mode, and it was put to good use by a male Baltimore Oriole, cruising south on Main Street, about 6 or 8 feet off the ground, as if it did this all the time. Perhaps it does.
I was the first car in line, so a good view. Actually, an excellent view given my remarkable new vision. A real pleasure. And also, obviously, a good omen. :-)
