Altered patches    (2007.04.15)

I appreciate the effort to jazz up this horrid little garage by, first of all, replicating the garage-door windows as a panel of 1970s colour chips and, no doubt as a last resort, through the addition of a superclassy BMW.

If only it weren’t the starter model. Arriviste.

A Month of Subways extra!

This is the penalty-box seat right behind the one with the most footroom in the fleet. Oh, and these buses, the slowest in that fleet, are 20 years old.

Diurnalist    (2007.03.07)

An uncommon daytime sighting of a raccoon. (This one is at least not mortally ill.) But as with the nighttime sightings, it is perfectly possible to take as many pictures as necessary until you get the one you want.

There was a difference today, though. I took a step to get closer, and the raccoon communicated “Now I am obligated to hide behind the trellis.” It was able to impart annoyance or resignation as it unhurriedly waddled under the step. I snapped a flash picture and stood a little bit too long, forcing it to show resignation again and walk into its hiding place.

Raccoons are surprisingly able to suggest emotional states. It is akin to offending a penguin, which happens even to tall, boyish, adorable penguin-keepers with movie-star names.
