Temp hits 45 and the sun shines. Meet a Main Street corner habitué and his dog; discuss weather, motorcycle audio systems and his friend’s Harley. Walk home in the warm afternoon sun.

Poem of the Day – March 18
Empty spaces to be filled,
Shelf with books and art objects,
Drawer with socks and underwear,
Closet with shirts and pants,
Car trunk with shopping bags,
First aid kit, hiking gear.
But what of the hollow spaces
In the mind where facts echo,
Where opinions rattle like loose bearings,
And the light is so dim one has to grope
To find the way to the door.

Dogs Before Instagram
Many of us have dogs in our lives. Here, the New York Times takes a look back in its photo archives to see how dogs figured in the public view before social media. Included is one image (left) captured by my old friend, Lee Romero, when he worked at NYT. (And I also have a once-in-a-while collection of “Dogs and Their People” at HHR.)
