Huey Lewis is looking at me.
Everywhere I turn, there he is, staring.
I'm in the hearing center getting my hearing aids checked. And I'm wondering. Has Huey Lewis made more money as a musician or as a poster boy for hearing loss?

Just an observation. That's all I do these days. Observe.
I'm in the vet clinic. Geek, our 18-year-old cat, needs a checkup. Actually he needs a complete overhaul, but that's not possible with organic entities, if I recall correctly. Anyway, as I'm staring across the room, it occurs to me that the urinosexual system of a cat is a dead ringer for the starship Enterprise. Sorry, can't find a picture on the web, so you'll have to trust me on this.
I'm flipping radio stations in my Prius and stumble upon "All the Ducks Are Swimming in the Water." If I recall correctly, here's the lyrics:
===============
All the ducks are swimming in the water
All the ducks are swimming in the water
All the ducks are swimming in the water
All the ducks are swimming in the water
Chorus:
All the ducks are swimming in the water
All the ducks are swimming in the water
All the ducks are swimming in the water
All the ducks are swimming in the water
===============
It's been playing in my head for 3 days now, no sign of let-up.
School let out early yesterday. Or at least something weird was going on. All these schoolchildren swarmed the neighborhood. Maybe 20 of them congregated in the intersection just outside my house. I saw pretty quickly that two of the boys were going to rumble. Young, full of adrenalin, and they had an audience. Let me name them Big and Small. Big came at Small, who ducked low, then lifted and dropped Big hard and awkward on his side. Small jumped on Big with a flurry of punches. I headed for the front door, because this was straight out of MMA, and Small definitely had training. But just then a school bus pulled up to the stop sign and the driver blared his horn, causing all the kids to flee eastward down the street.
I'm not certain what I could have done if I'd gotten out there. Yelled at them, made them move along just like the bus driver did. But then they'd just rumble on another corner. That's what I was still thinking 10 minutes later when a Paramedic truck went flying past with the siren blaring.
Kids.
I'm going to close my eyes now and stop observing for a while.
All the ducks are swimming in the water.
All the ducks are swimming in the water.
