This was taken near our apartment in Maumelle, Arkansas, where flocks of geese enjoy imitating red traffic lights. None of them appeared even slightly afraid of cars, nor the people in them.

What Bothers You the Most?
I’m registering online for physical therapy for my right shoulder, and they just asked me this question. “Stupidity” is the first thing that comes to mind, but I don’t think that’s the answer they’re looking for.

A Library Dream
I just woke up from an afternoon nap, and was having a strange dream. It was the beginning of Summer, and I was working on a second master’s degree at UALR — and working at the UALR Ottenheimer Library again, where I worked in real life from 1988 to 1992, as an undergraduate. It was my first day back in the job, and I was getting there at about 12:45, with my shift starting at 1:00 pm. I was also bringing a fancy pot for a pepper plant. Upon arrival, I put all my stuff away, said hello to Tony (my boss there, and a friend), looked at the schedule, and saw, to my dismay, that I was supposed to be there from 7:00 am to noon. I wasn’t early — I was very late! There was nothing left to do but apologize to Tony, which I did. At that point, I woke up.
