Call me Heliotrope. Sitting on my patio, under a three-pronged tree dappling me and the recently watered plants, my MacAir on my lap, my feet up on a polka dot bean bag, two bumble bees checking out the planter and a chipmonk just ran under my chair. Linda, the neighbor across the street just came out with her two very old Boston Terriers and said looking at me, “It’s a good life.” Indeed.

The Puzzler on Car Talk involved a car driving down a Kansas-middle of nowhere road at noon seeing the same crop on both sides of the road, but from one side it was yellow and the other side it was green. Luckily, the Car Guys were explaining the results of last week’s game before introducing the latest. It seems that the crop was a sunflower with a face that follows the sun. I learned another way to explain myself.
