it doesn't taste like a window

---------------------

We are enjoying perfect weather today.  Au Train Beach, at the Lake Superior Scenic View in Au Train, is a very popular spot today.  Kids (and adults) insist on jumping off of the M28 bridge that spans the Au Train River even though "Do No Jump From Bridge" signs are posted.  I was lucky today and snapped this photo just as the young lady jumped off of the bridge.

In short, you get it.  You're with it.  You're in it.  You're part of the flow, the operating order of life.  Finally, you stick the Slurpee straw in your mouth and suck and it doesn't necessarily taste like "grape" but it doesn't taste like a window either.  It tastes like what you expected, a purple Slurpee.

Curtis White, from his novel Requiem.
