I've been reading a book called On Looking: Eleven Walks With Expert Eyes. Think I heard about it on a podcast, 99 Percent Invisible maybe? She talks about the the things we fail to notice in our surroundings, and goes out walking with different specialists--a typographer, artist, biologist, her toddler--and describes the different things they find, even their different ways of seeing. I highly recommend it. And it may have got me noticing a bit more at Market yesterday. Some examples:

My strawberry from Farmer's Market has feet.

Social distancing is multi-dimensional.

After a half-hour of annoying echoes from the street-preacher-with-a-bullhorn a block away, it was a pleasant surprise to have them drowned out by harp music. Danny's friend, watching his booth while he got lunch.

And the same space, two hours later, as the second shift arrives.

So I got my second Pfizer shot Friday evening around six. Got up the next day, went to Saturday Market, set up, sold, took down and came home, to no ill effects.

Two hours later, sitting on the couch watching Avengers: Endgame, I got the worst case of chills I've ever had, shivering, teeth chattering. This morning, fine again. My arm barely even hurts.
