I realized that there was a dead man under a tarp on the highway. Someone had walked up there and had of course been struck and killed. Anyway, I went to work. This is the second time I've seen a dead person in my two years here.
I made this crop of the image.
I feel fortunate that I enjoyed the blandishments of modernity. I had hip replacement and root canal. I was able to travel on airplanes. I was able to take cheap food for granted. I went to the movies. I enjoyed rock 'n' roll. And now I'm ready to move on.
