Sitting in the middle of the fountain seemed uncomfortable.

It looked it.

Once upon a time, people sent Telegrams. Messages which arrived in printed strips pasted to a piece of paper – something like the ransom note seen in films.

Now, we emphasize vegetables, beans, and fruit.

Will ice cream go the way of cassette tapes?

Will steaks become like the cigarettes of yore, with people surreptitiously cutting into grilled sirloin beneath the fire escapes of speakeasy restaurants?

A sound arrived and left without comment.

The weather, the temperature, and a bathing suit.

Scarves wrapped in life-affirming style.

A hat, perched sideways like an alley-cat.

Defiantly happy with intoxicating evening air.

Drive on, great golfer. Ride on, western saddler. Walk on, wild forager.

They greet people, don’t they?
