And four hours north of Portland, the radio flips on

On the way back from the MRI, in accordance with the local observance of the hundred and twelfth birthday of Wendell Corey, I found and talked to a dry stone wall.

Pretty moss! (I realize it's undoing the stone, but it's slow enough that I don't mind; YMMV.)

It is a proper New England wall, with a weatherbeaten face like an old Yankee sailor. But what does one say to a wall?

That is a fine wall. I've known several of its cousins.

Excellent! <3 I'll attempt a rewatch of one of his movies to join in the celebration!

I am glad you survived your day! and I hope the MRI actually provides some usable information.
