The sun occasionally deigns to appear in our Universe City sky, and today was one of those days. People were out in swarms by the river. Kids ran up and down on the playground. Bikers called out, "On your left!" as they swished by. Families loitered in the middle of the bridge.
At the restaurant where last week we huddled inside watching the overflowing river, this week we sat outside in the sun with cold drinks. I rolled spicy tater tots through an excessive plate of ketchup.
The cold set in, though, as the sun went down. Cold nights are the price we pay here for sunshine in winter when the clouds that usually insulate us like a down blanket drift off and expose the sky.
