Two percent

So I was walking along the river with a cold wind blowing in my face. A hawk was riding the currents of the sky. Along my river Bald Eagles are common, hawks are more rare. Two black birds circled each other, came together, and bombed the hawk, over and over. Sometimes it all drifted far from me. Sometimes it wandered close. I watched this bird circus the whole way. And while I do not know why it made this come to mind, I thought:

Ninety eight percent of the world is in desperate need of improvement, and two percent is perfect. I should try to split my time equally between them.

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.

I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!

One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
