Reintroduced to bum knuckles.

Move a muscle,
change a thought.
When in doubt,
push a pawn.

Things I touch on the walk to and from work.

This is in the order into work.

2 wooden railings.
Cedar tree.
Bent guardrail.
Snow pole on a fire hydrant.
Tree stump.

On the way home reverse the order but add brushing my hand over a pine tree's needles after passing the wood railings.

On the way home.

A house was getting a new drive way
And that day they had removed the old driveway
down to the dirt right out to the road including part of the sidewalk.
A kid about 5 or 6 gets out of a car that just pulled into the driveway and runs to the edge at the road and exclaims "O my God, they cut the sidewalk. " slight pause "I loved that sidewalk. "

Engineer was yanking my chain.

While walking I waited while the train crawled to a stop and then reversed direction 5 times here at the crossing at Groton-Havard Road. Eventually I reversed direction and crossed at the Sandy Pond Road crossing. But see that little ladder of 2 or 3 rungs between the cars? I think I could have made it.

The absurdity

A great song (Born to be Wild) blasting on my headphones
as I stand and gaze over the cubicle farm.
I have to laugh.

I'll bend over for that.

Found a dollar bill on the ground this morning.
Good luck proving it hasn't been in my
pocket the whole time.

A lesson in the laundry room from Marjorie

Marjorie asked which apartment I was in
and I responded 11.
She asked how I was liking it and I said
it was nice and I liked overlooking the pond.
Marjorie responded "When its not smelling like vinegar."
I back pedaled a little bit and said that I still liked
the sound of the trains.
Marjorie said "You will get used to it just like she
got used to the traffic noise out front."

Big time

The thing that I do which makes me decent at my job
of establishing patterns based a limited amounts of data
I also have used to conflate a single event to represent
the inevitability of all future interactions with 3 and one half billion.
OK Righteous Anger, come in and have a seat.
What can I get you?
An ashtray?
A coaster?
Put your feet up and lets talk.
