Beautiful Green

Standing in front of the Federal Court Building while 

waiting for a bus, I looked up to see a tree 

I'd seen a gazillion times before. This time, however,

the tree stood out sharply from its fog-draped

surroundings, covered in a coat of moss

that accentuated its shape and the texture of its bark.

Foggy Reasoning

I just liked the way the other buildings 

framed the fog-shrouded edifice of the Key Bank, 

creating an interesting negative space.

EXTRA: Aliens in Speedway!

 At 6PM I looked outside my window
 to see an alien spacecraft just above

the treeline. For the past several days, the 

temperatures have been in the mid-teens, we've had

a bit of snow on top of ice. Today the weather's

been warmer, the snow softening to melt

into slush. The air has not seemed so much like

fog as it has a cold cloud, overhanging the city.

 While the mist and fog are so thick

as to conceal the stanchion

supporting the lights, that does not mean

that aliens are not expected soon in Indy:

the evil New England Patriots have just 
defeated the Baltimore Ravens in 
a close game, 23-20, to establish 
one half of the Super Bowl match-up, 
to be held here on Sunday, February 5th.
