Did you know the “weekend” and working only 8 hours per day used to be considered a radical, liberal idea?

Among my regular passengers on the 44 are two young boys who ride with their grandma from California and 6th Ave all the way to Silver and Palou. The older brother is possibly a 2nd grader. Last night as they were getting off my bus, he handed me this hand made envelope.

Robins - a boundary dispute.
I noticed that the Robins by the hedge were being challenged by a bird from further up the garden.
I placed the camera in what I judged to be "No man's land".
The challenger arrived - red breasts were displayed!

There once was a time that you didn’t yet realize you had hands.
It’s a funny thought, but 100% true.
In fact it’s not until somewhere between 2-4 months of age that babies fully “discover” their hands.
