And here is something to read:
I loved reading the story of a man who found a baby in the New York subway, now nearly 21 years ago. Here is the story of what happened since.
And then there the study of sleeping octopuses that might experience fleeting dreams. You can read it here.
A Photo
And, since I am writing now and you got this far. A picture from where I walked yesterday. I like the reflections in the puddles. The last snow is melting while the feeling of springtime is all around.
That's it. Have a lovely day, and stay safe.

Lagniappe! What a generous surprise! Counting on Utube for what I miss.
The photo is marvelous! Those reflections!
I like this extra edition surprise. Loving every moment of the CWA, saving some of the live stream sessions till later, to watch again on Youtube . . .
