I found a dime on the ground by this fish market in Eugene, Oregon. I wasn’t sure it was a real dime, but I picked it up and put it in my pocket. Yes, seems real. It made me think of that song by Bob Dylan that starts, “Once upon a time, you dressed so… Read More »
“Oh hey. There’s a siren test,” I said to Ming. “Siren test?” he asked. “Yeah! Like a warning for tsunami. The sign says Saturday at 12 and 12:30.” We were in Los Osos, right by the beach. “Wow, I never heard it before. I’d like to hear it!” “Sirens? You mean like a Steller’s sea… Read More »
