Snippets of Enlightenment

The old boom-box man in the electric wheelchair rolled past me on the street again yesterday, R&B at full volume. He's great. He makes everyone around him smile.


As I was walking to my Aztecs class, I noticed something I hadn't before: Prayer flags hanging in the corner of the Saybrook courtyard. They looked well-worn, and lovely.


Walking down from a talk about sustainability at Wal Mart yestserday, there was an adorable tiny old Volvo parked on the street, a gaggle of Asian tourists nest to it. There are always large tour groups roaming about the campus. The talk itself was... interesting. He claimed that all Wal Mart customers had no real interest in anything sustainable or organic, only price, which I think is certainly an unfair generalization...

A man was sitting on Old Campus yesterday evening with a Red Flyer Wagon with a basket full of apple in it. "Courtesy of... [so-and-so]," it read. I helped myself.


This afternoon, as I was walking around running errands, I saw lamp-post signs down Elm Street painted with pictures of John Lennon and Yoko Ono and peace signs.

This weekend is parent's weekend, and my Godmother Anita is coming. She should be arriving shortly. It will be quite fun--there will be a lot going on.
