Leaving the house to go to work, I followed my usual daily custom of putting out seed for the birds at the normal spot, adjacent to the DMV parking lot. The parking lot guard saw me, and smiled. "I like this," he said. "The birds need the food." Pointing skyward, he continued: "God will be pleased. He will give you a reward. You will see!"
As I backed my car into the alley and drove off, I turned to smile and wave at the parking lot guard. Driving distractedly, I failed to clear the garbage cans in the alley. I struck one of the garbage cans with my driver's side rear-view mirror, breaking the support, so now the mirror dangles uselessly from a cable.
No reward today, but maybe another time.
