  1. Rushing

    Elsie sat on this over crossing every night to watch the lights. It was mesmerizing! She thought it was wonderful that all those people had a place to go. When she was done watching, she returned to her cardboard box for the night.

  2. A quotation from Thoreau

    Why should we be in such desperate haste to succeed, and in such desperate enterprises? If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.

    Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) American philosopher and writer
    Walden; or, Life in the Woods, ch. 18 "Conclusion" (1854)

  3. Good morning. 😴☕🚶‍♂️‍➡️

    30 May 2025

    I'm in a bit of a rush this morning, eager to get a walk in before the heat sets in. I almost skipped my usual 'good morning' post, but since coffee is non-negotiable, here I am. Oddly, coffee never tastes quite as good after a walk—maybe because I go straight for ice water first, and by the time I get to the coffee, I barely finish it. After my walk and a quick clean-up, I have the rare task of venturing out among other people—an adventure in itself. Today’s grand excursion? A trip to the pharmacy ⚕️. Hard to believe I fit this much excitement into one day.
