pollination

Just one more thing I learned by looking at the ground….until 2022, I didn’t even know that pollination services were a thing.

one drop can start a flood

An allegory:

It was just a drop. One drop.

There were drops before it; since I didn’t see them, it’s like they never happened. And there were surely unseen drops that follow, but they didn’t count either. At the time.

But then, before I even knew what was happening, the seen drop and all the unseen ones came together and there was a flood. Damage is still being tallied.

oddly classical

I’m not really used to thinking about a gas stations being so fancy that they required Ionic columns and clay tile roofs, but this place had both of those things.

Also, it has all those windows and would make a fine art studio – just needs a couple of weekends, probably, to get it all set up.

to the charity of night

Sometimes hotel room views are terrible.

Obviously this was not one of those times.

unquiet spirits

Some photographers would probably have taken a tripod on their after-dark stroll through downtown Santa Fe.

I am not one of them. And I’m not even the least bit apologetic.
