Two good things that happened today:

1. I saw a man sharpening knives outside of a Pakistani grocery store on 30th Avenue. He was a big guy in a leather apron, and his grinding stone was bolted to the back of a bicycle and plugged in via an extension cord that ran into the store. He must ride from store to store on his bike grinding knives. I don't blame you if you find this hard to believe, but I saw it with my own eyes.

2. It rained very hard with lightning and thunder for 40 minutes and then stopped. Now the birds are singing outside.
