The smell of rain
Stopped traffic with a softshell turtle this afternoon. He was crossing ht street by the river an I wanted to make sure he made it. That’s why rain is so magical here.

The first opportunity for me to post this year is another moment of waiting. My discount .mac account needs IMAP for mail. Little did I know that it would download all 7300 emails from gmail to get me there.
