Today I went into the donut place, because there's nothing like donuts for a headache, and discovered that the No Smoking sign actually meant that no smoking would be taking place inside. There were even codgers sitting at the counter and they weren't smoking. That's a first for me, although only because I have been sending Oz out for donuts.
I wonder if they're the same codgers, or if the original ones have been replaced with new tobacco-free codgers.
Also today I wore my French soccer jersey out on my walk through the neighborhood and ended up in conversation with a random French teacher. In English, because my French is very bad.
I looked at the pictures I took on Sunday and I should maybe post some of them. The shots taken from the moving car were fairly sharp, considering. The ones I really wish had come out didn't. As we were driving along the Great Dismal Swamp, the rain stopped, the sun burst out briefly, and a pale rainbow formed in the mist rising from the peanut fields. A little too pale to be caught by a CCD, alas. In the images I can barely make out a slightly pinkish yellow area in the mist, and only because I know it's there.
