A tangential 18-1 story.

In the courtyard at work there was a New York Giants Win Super Ball mylar balloon blowing around. It was nearly deflated, however, and with the wind it would rise up and down (reminding me of American Beauty). A guy came out of building 2 (I am in building 1) and started to walk rapidly towards it. As he neared the balloon a gust of wind took it up and over the roof of building 3. He watched for a while, with one hand in his khaki pocket, glanced around, and retreated back inside. We have stuff trapped by the courtyard blowing around all the time and I have never seen anyone chase it. (Maintenance guy sweeping up birds killed by the hawk doesn't count) I guess he wanted the balloon (Yay Giants !) or to destroy the balloon. (Screw you Giants)
