What I Saw Today

1. A man at the top of the mountain carrying an iguana on his arm as he strode down the road.

2. A peregrine falcon riding the updraft on the east side of the mount. The bird hovered in one place for about 5 minutes. Then off in search of the plump lizard.

3. Two old cigarette butts tossed on a mountain that erupts into flames just for laffs.

4. Two bottles of neat beer that disappeared as if by magic or alien abduction.

5. The back of my son as he walked down the driveway and left with old friends in a dirty white car headed for Humboldt.

6. Rachel Maddow's high school picture.
