1. A little toothpaste-like tube, meant for cosmetics, ended up on the street about 5 years ago. It flattened immediately, and has retained its shape and position ever since. Snow, snowplows, rain, wind, car tires, nothing moves it or degrades it. Good advertisement for the supplier who made the tube.
2. Bit of conversation heard on this morning’s walk:
“…had leprosy.”
“Yeah, I wouldn’t want to do it.”
Leprosy isn’t a frequent subject of conversation, to put it mildly. Hard to imagine the context! Mormon missions?
3. Maybe nonbark: For many years nearly everyone was yakking on cellphones all the time. Walking, driving, shopping, always talking to the rectangle. Seems like the habit is weaker this year, down to 50% from 95%. Did people get tired of living solely online during the NAZI TORTURE CAMP?
