While sitting at a stop light this morning, facing south and bathed in the low morning sun, I happened to notice an interesting thing. The sun was a palm width above the horizon and admittedly a bit of a driving nuisance. As the radio droned on I absently squinted toward the east. Just then I became aware of a thin layer of mist-deposited road grime clinging to my driver’s side window. It was alive with thousand’s of faint but unmistakable points of diffracted sunlight. The thin gray layer had an overall iridescent aspect to it that I had never taken note of before.
As I pondered the spectral beauty of this I became aware of an alarming noise. The driver of the white Ford F-250 behind me was waving his hands and honking without the slightest consideration for the unlikely phenomenon I was enjoying. The enchantment vanished as quickly as it appeared as I motored into the intersection and the beginning of the day.

Beautiful story.
Keep posting.

I agree wholeheartedly.

Gaussling, just think – you may have saved the Ford fella’s life, by stopping to check out such a beautiful sight on your grimy window. Who knows what traffic dangers lay ahead for the FF had his trip not been slowed down – and you, by stopping to smell the roses, may have saved him from something terrible. What a great day! 🙂
You could be right. Thanks for the comment!
I resorted to the” Two Gram Cure” and it worked. Garlic has also
been described as a ‘super food’, that has beneficial anti-cancer properties,
heart-strengthening potential, contains powerful antioxidants, and sources of vitamin C and E.
I eat fresh peanuts roasted in garlic, coconut juice with flesh each afternoon in the
Philippines working with malnourished children. Just find a way to lose weight without
Dieting Depression.
