Two Jehovah’s Witnesses dropped by yesterday. They stood on my front porch and talked about Jesus. They read several passages from the Bible.
They were very kind. They left a copy of the Watchtower. They headed on down the road.

Found this cut down contact print, slightly larger than a postage stamp, my mom reading about animals to my sister in 1953.

Occasionally, against the odds, a street tree will grow to maturity in Charlottesville. This tree
at the corner of Nassau and Carlton, has thus far eluded the “right tree right place” police.

Does the City have an ordinance that requires private utilities to remove their poles from the sidewalk?
Adopted by City Council on Oct. 4, 2010

My first time in life in the presence of RSO players without Emma Gray nearby. Violin concerto written by a human from Richmond, Mason Bates, and performed by a violinist
from another planet, Anne Akiko Meyers. Amazing music. One is reminded, not much time on stage, use it.

Talking to the Fish
My grandfather, mom and grandmother returning to Pamlico Sound via Oregon Inlet. This the day where Pappy
taunted the fish. Inveighed against the fish, as ambassadors of the Sound, for failing to offer him up a real catch.
Shortly thereafter, trolling, he hooked into an Ursus americanus.
