A friend of mine (a day-dreamer, perhaps) recalled how his father (a retired sea captain) had expected him to NOTICE something new every time the two of them went for a walk.
Now what did you notice today? his father would ask him, at the end of the walk. And the child - if he wanted to please his father - made sure he had something to share...
I thought of my friend as I walked through the nearby college, and noticed...
... a new bench...
... with a large, new outdoor "ashtray"...
... and a "solar compactor."
(I assume it's a garbage can of some sort, but, with a fancy name like that, it sounds too intimidating to use!)
