unusual sights

sometimes i wish i had a video camera with me continuously so that i could capture so many little moments. it'd make a great little film. especially for the new generations out there whose attention spans are... short? unfortunately, i don't own a video camera. and if i had it all the time i would be continuously looking for moments and they probably wouldn't happen and if they did, by the time i got the camera turned on, they'd be over.

my moment the other day was just a little hopefully-glimmering moment. i was walking back from lunch, along the dusty side streets of main. and i passed a sad little dentist office, it's big picture glass waiting room windows facing the windy and dusty street. of course i glanced in. and there was a teenaged girl, with braces, and goth jewelry sitting in the sun pouring in the window. and she was holding up a brochure titled, in big green letters "The Effects of Climate Change" and underneath "What you can do". it was a hopefully moment. here was a girl that might or might not be interested in any environmental problems, and while waiting for a (likely painful) appointment with the dentist...maybe, just maybe, she'll have read something that she'll take to heart and put into action.
