He ain't got no distractions
Can't hear those buzzers and bells
Don't see lights a flashin'
Plays by sense of smell
Always gets a replay
Never tilts at all
That deaf, dumb and blind Than
Sure plays a mean pinball

And what did you do today?

I put a dimple in the fabric of space-time !

In the parking lot across the street from Lexington Corporate Center.

The man opened the hatchback of his car and
the golden retriever, generously silvered,
stood waiting patiently.

The man bent down, reached around the chest
of the dog and lifted the dog's front legs into
the car.

The man then wrapped his arms around the back
end of the dog and gently lifted into the car.
All was done with practiced grace.

maverickz31 (9:40:26 AM): the origin of the phrase "holy crap" comes from what Jesus did after being dead for 3 days.

Lesson in sound.

I thought I knew the call of a blue jay.
Sort of a raucous challenging sound.
This morning I was stopped by a sound
that was a cross between a British police siren
heard through a flugelhorn.
I stopped and looked into a bush
and low and behold it was a
blue jay.
Thanks blue jay for bringing your "A" game.

School across from 101 America Avenue, Providence RI.

Along the bike path this morning in Bedford
there were hundreds of starlings
in the trees making a cacophony of noise like
school children at recess,
on a nice sunny day.

T. S. Eliot said:

We have lingered in the chambers of the sea
By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
Till human voices wake us, and we drown.

The chance of being hit by any one raindrop is infinitesimal and yet if I go out in the rain I get wet.

Corn.

Food and entertainment. That's right.

In the building complex where I work (Lexington Corporate Center or LCC for short) there is only one garage door and over it is a square white sign with the number "13" in black. Funny thing is there is no driveway leading to that garage door. The few times I have seen a nondescript white pickup drive to that door it had to ride over the grass and down a sidewalk. Any information would be appreciated.
