One of my favorite things is my blackberry. Oh, pathetic I know. The mobility, the practicality, the freedom. For example, here I am sitting at the beach with the sea breeze in my hair, surrounded by susicious gulls, watching a thunderstorm pass across New Haven Harbor ... The rain falls on West Haven - and I can hear the thunder - but I have sun in my eyes. Yet I am still, in a sense, at my desk. If my customers call me, I am here. If they email me, I am available.
There is only one thing missing from my blackberry, as I finally have discovered today. A camera. To share this image with the world.
And ok, a sound recorder, to capture the gulls' song, as well as that of the ice cream truck which just drove up behind me. There is a fishing pier here at Nathan Hale Park, and the families bring their kids when they're fishing. A captive market!
I just saw a lightning strike over West Rock! Far away, backlit in a sense, with me squinting into the sunshine.
The ice cream truck's song has a ring, an organ melody, and this little ocarina hoot sound. So many layers to such a simple sound. Thunder percussion, and bird whines too. And most importantly, the white noise of the rolling waves.
