The current style of chunky necklace weighs A TON. It's difficult to imagine wearing one all day at work while typing on a keyboard. It's difficult to imagine working all day at a keyboard. It's difficult to imagine working all day, let alone carrying a load to do it.
Dave just shoveled 4,000 pounds of rock for a landscaping job. He wonders why his knees hurt. I wonder, was he wearing a necklace too?
Melinda has a partial view of an old bank building, the courthouse and city streets.
She directs the heavy lifters and wears a weighty necklace of a different kind.

"Have a good day," I tell the ticket taker.
He looks at me gruffly. "I'll decide what kind of day I'll have."

The train seats were such that all the passengers rode backwards. I was occupied with tying a friendship bracelet for my friend, of course, and it was rainy and dreary, so the bushes surrounding the tracks that had grown to monstrous proportions did not really make that much of an impression. I did, however, notice the graffiti on the trains going the opposite direction.
Upon the arrival in North Station, the subway, the T, was the next immediate concern. Find it, buy tickets, get to the Prudential district for tea. T for tea. Time was ticking. At first it was confusing that I should go inbound, because hadn't I been going inbound all along? It seemed that the outbound course would be the most appropriate one. But after studying the map, continuing inbound would be the correct direction.
There on the T was a knight in chain mail, plugging his ears. He suffered from the weight of the chains and the screeching of the wheels against the rails.
So, in summary:
1. The seats on the train all look to the past.
2. If you want tea, take the inbound route.
3. The knight in shining armour suffers from his chain mail.
4. If you want a friend in this world, learn how to tie friendship bracelets or
get yourself a dog.

The headsets are hanging on the mixture control. The pedals are brake on top and rudder on bottom. The control stick is in the middle (sort of). To the far right is the handle to lower the water rudders into the water.
Off we go!

Sleep is one of the 5 modifications of the mind, according to Patanjali. The other 4 are right knowledge, imagination, memory, and false perception; Pramana viparyaya vikalpa nidra smirtayah. Yoga Sutra 1.6.
To sleep perchance to dream: Did Shakespeare know that Daisy would wake me from a dream so vast that it would be uninterpretable? It was whispered down the ages on stone steps made of turquoise, the migration of peoples across the Bering Strait to the south, where color is defined by the sea and by the sun rising and setting.

Going to go via Cascade Brook Trail, Fishin Jimmy Trail, Kinsman Junction, Kinsman Ridge, and maybe back via Kinsman Pond Trail.
Forgot my headlamp at home. Borrowed the maglight in the flight bag.
