I usually follow instructions. When I drove past this sign yesterday — corner of Warner and Gould — I stopped, parked, got out, and did exactly what was suggested.
Must say: It was pretty nice.
It didn't matter that the sky was gray.
Or that the weirdly reflective STOP sign overhead was all bent out-of-shape.
Or that I didn't last the whole minute (probably more like 15 seconds).
When I got back in the car, I felt revived.
If I followed those instructions today, of course, I'd get a faceful.
Of rain, that is.
Which I suppose might be enlivening in it own way ...
