Seen in Montpelier this afternoon:
An oversized seagull swooped down to the curb in front of the post office, taking off again immediately, something large and brown held in its beak. A man who had been closer to it than I'd been walked along shaking his head. "Don't usually see a seagull eat another bird," he said.
Two boys, maybe ten years old, raced across a front lawn, laughing as they beat the bejesus out of each other with what looked like extremely long nerf bats.
In a drugstore, a man waited by the prescription counter. An exceptionally heavyset woman walked past him, they both said, "Hi." She paused, looking at him, said, "Gee, you're handsome!" He muttered a shy, "Thank you," the woman went on her way.
A tall, bearded mountain man type walked out of the food co-op, a blond infant in one arm, a bag of groceries in the other. The baby gazed around, curious about everything. The man beamed as we walked past each other, appearing as happy as anyone I've ever seen.
Life: just a string of moments, with plenty to see.
