Quick Vignettes
On the drive to work I saw a big van with the yellow caution stickers and the verbiage "A Blind Man Drives This Van". Well, I thought, you don't see this everyday. And of course thus distracted I almost didn't see the guy in front of me who stopped while trying to change lanes. Now who's the blind driver?

I'm on the elevator with three young women. Two are Chinese and speaking it. The other is Indian. Unlike most European languages, where you can make out a word here or there, Chinese is completely impenetrable. The Indian girl, whose language I would not understand, looks over her shoulder at me and we smile at each other, as if sharing in our mutual incomprehension.
