It was a dark and stormy night.
And then the alarm went off.
And I put on my new glasses and looked in the mirror.
When did my face do that?!?
It was a dark and rainy morning.
So I took my new glasses off and put on my old glasses.
And stepped outside to the car.
As a approached the Ravenna Boulevard Olmstead Park I saw a gaggle of geese (the Marquis is not the only bird watcher in the family) in a small section of the boulevard. Their necks were arching down to the ground to find whatever grubs and seeds they can.
Then the necks became arms and legs.
I thought, “Flash Mob?”
“No, not enough people to enjoy the event.”
“More likely a group of fitness buffs or ROTC recruits.”
The trip into darkness continued up the freeway ramp.
Beautiful twinkling red lights met my gaze.
The freeway was moving, but the on-ramp was metered – earlier and much more than necessary.
The red turned to green, to red, to green, to red, to green, and finally on my way.
Tonight or tomorrow I may try driving with my new gafas, so I can see what I have been missing on the road as well as in the mirror.
