Last night as I was leaving a bar with a friend, we saw a night heron hanging out on the sidewalk. We were very worried the bird was hurt, as they just kept wandering on the ground, apparently unconcerned with people. I texted another friend to ask for advice, as she somewhat of an amateur bird expert, and while I waited for her response, my googling landed me on an article she’d written which reassured me. They’re just weird birds, and they like to stand around like people. Phew. Love these birds.
Speaking of birdwatching, what did you do before the internet?
Maybe a good antidote to the modern world is cultivating a basic life.
While you’re enjoying a pumpkin spice latte with your new logged-off, basic life, perhaps flip through a gorgeous book about the VVitch, one of my favorite films of all time.
As for me, I’m going to enjoy this coffee, and see how the Russian Grand Prix shook out. Have a great week, and welcome to Fall.
