10 I spy... And here comes the Sun

12:05 It was over 78 degrees when i decided to take the walk cause i haven't in more than a week, with Angela's vacation. I knew temperature would raise to over 80 towards the end of the three miles as today we are expecting again over 100. Last heat wave of the year i suppose. That's why i was intrigued when i saw again this van this time in the other almost empty hospital parking lot cause i quit going around the hospital.

This van belongs to a business nearby and was stationed in the other parking lot for weeks in the last months and years, especially in the days when new waves of COVID were making waves in the news. But this time i was more annoyed then scared and took a picture.

Not long after that i stepped on Borland sidewalk and saw on the right a guy on a mower that started to mow the grass next to road going in the same time with me walking, making noise and dust for as long i walked on Borland, and that was more than a quart of a mile.

I had the camera in my hand taking pictures of it making dust, but i was too sleepy and absent minded thinking of things i have posed lately and pictures didn't come right when from a road on the left came this Acura.

It was going slowly towards me, did not stop at the crosswalk and i raised my camera and took the picture. I thought she saw me and and indeed she slowed down a bit, enough for me to cross however when i was right in front of it acclerated. I used my old pedestrian reflexes from Roamania and jumped aside and i'm pretty sure i took another picture with her face or at least i pressed the button, but the picture is not on the card.

12:50 What was i thinking. Just before that, in the noise of the mower, i kept thinking on how faces of models do not express anything. Some would say because of botox. Or maybe is a reflex to keep all face muscles unstrained for conserving (of massive makeup work). Or maybe they don't want to show any emotion, for an obvious reason.

Or maybe they simply don't want to ruin the magic moments they don't really know how long are going to last, of having the whole world at their feet, by bursting into some stupid smile or laughter. So they just keep it neutral, like raw, sour, Chardonnay.

And in those moments like in others i thought beauty may also be a curse because of the multitude of men that would constantly pressure those one in a thousands girls of which one in a million had made it on the scene. Meeting one of them is also embarrassing because you usually find yourself on the bottom of the list in the competition.

Only later after thinking of writing and re-opened the article i realized the coincidence with the four threads or stitches depending on whatever language you are thinking in.

Some say the remedy to all these is...



6:56 I self defined one of my posts that included a discussion about swastika as educational, they just came with this. Unverifiable like most news related to the war. While researching for the authors, i also ran into this...

10:57 This woman could have been the driver of that Acura... 11:03 Nu sunt absolut sigur de tipul ăsta, în ultimul timp am făcut mai multe greșeli, aștept reacții.
