A long wait for buses becomes more entertaining when there is a little bright green worm hanging from a cherry blossom tree, eventually reaching a pretty girl’s pants, attaching itself to the edge of the pants and slowly crawling over the edge into the inside of the pants.
Wonder if she ever noticed. Wonder if I should have told her.

Note: The bright green worm cralwed over the bottom edge of her pants.
Clint Adams, you are in big trouble!

Mika, I should tell you the story of the Big Hairy Spider and the Big Hairy Secret Service Agent.
When I was at the University of Chicago and singing in the choir, we would sing for graduation. And one year, President Clinton spoke at the graduation. So there were (presumably armed) Secret Service agents everywhere. Where we were sitting, on the side of the stage outdoors under the trees, there was a big redheaded guy, built like a linebacker, standing at ease, right in front of the soprano section. And so we watched as a gray spider let itself down on a thread from the trees above, landed on the agent’s shoulder, climbed up it, and disappeared into his collar.
And was never seen again. The Spider X-files!
The agent never moved, never twitched, never made a sign. It was amazing. We’d have applauded him except nobody wanted to startle a guy who might be armed.

That’s funny! I hope he didn’t get bitten by the spider..
Makes ME shiver..
