As I was walking along Bellevue the other night around 10 (maybe 11), I met a super-handsome and very-friendly guy standing in the back of a pick-up truck holding some sort of hose contraption. Of course!! That's how all those high-up flower baskets stay lush all summer. And that's how the watering powers-that-be avoid traffic jams and parking issues. I never knew!! Okay, I never thought about it. Now if only I could apply similar logic — and a similarly cheerful can-do attitude — to the impossibly-jammed puzzle of all I have to do today (including watering the garden; why do we always plant so many flowers??) when all I really want to do is park myself in some coffee shop or on some beach somewhere. At least it's gray today; that's a good thing. Rain would/will solve the watering problem and remove the beach temptation. Gotta run ...
