Things I saw on my stroll tonight

[muckefuck]

• A "NO DUMPING" sign on a back fence defaced to read "NO HUMPING".
• A laughing young man racing out of a backyard with a smiling young woman in hot pursuit. (She gave up before he reached the end of the alley.
• A cinder block shattered on the sidewalk.
• A gaggle of young children sitting in a circle on the grass.
• Dark stains on the pavement underneath all of the mulberry trees.
• An albino African-American teenager being interrogated by a cop yelling abuse.
• About a dozen fireflies.

I didn't think fireflies made it into cities.
You are lucky.

Maybe they just don't make it into your city? My experience around here is if there are yards, then there will be fireflies.

True, my experience is limited. I can't recall ever seeing one in Boston or New York or their suburbs. One would not expect them in Denver or Los Angeles, which make up the rest of my urban life.
