Two big dogs were loose on the street. That was an everyday sight in my childhood, but you don’t see it anymore. It was lovely to watch them sniffing and trotting about, taking in the morning. A few moments later a young man walked down the street with a big walking stick and a sleeping bag slung over his shoulder on another stick, just as you see pictures of homeless wanderers during the Depression. He took the shortcut down my drive so he appeared picturesquely in my security camera. This is one day after our hellhound President assured us that all is most well in his State of the Union.
