strange events yesterday on the bus to pennsylvania we stopped in a small town and a woman on the bus said that a man had been threatening her and he masturbated in front of her. we were immediately surrounded by four police cars and asked to leave the bus. the man hid in the toilet but was apprehended and removed. then the woman gave a deposition and we waited. then we left and he was taken into custody and the police said he had just 'got out of court.' about thirty miles down the road i was looking out the window and the road dropped precipitously to a creek. there were five or six formally dressed people standing in a row by the near side of the creek facing the highway. they were looking up. i saw a man leap from a highway sign about seventy feet above the creek. the sign was over dry ground. the man was fully dressed and there was no safety net or bungee cord. as the bus was moving, i did not see him hit the ground. this morning in the small town my father lives in, there were four rare hawks in the backyard. this was the first time hawks had ever come here. i cannot identify them since they seem like broad-winged hawks but are much larger with white feathers over the feet. four of them together was a rare sight. earlier we watched a group of wasps carry a group of paralyzed caterpillars to their nests. later, there were fireflies all blinking in unison, and i knew that the philadelphia species had come north. around the same time, i photographed on the south mountain where the anthracite mine fire has burned for one hundred and one years beneath the surface. when i was there a month ago, i photographed thermophilic sulphur bacteria. i was not sure whether they were bacteria or mineral deposits at the time because they were colonizing around the hottest and apparently deepest sulphur vents. but this time there were only slight mineral deposits and the weather had been dry. this indicated that the efflorescence was in fact bacteria, and most likely hyperthermophilic archaea. style exercise strange events yesterday on the bus to pennsylvania we stopped in a small town and woman said that man had been threatening her he masturbated front of her. were immediately surrounded by four police cars asked leave bus. hid toilet but was apprehended removed. then gave deposition waited. left taken into custody just 'got out court.' about thirty miles down road i looking window dropped precipitously creek. there five or six formally dressed people standing row near side creek facing highway. they up. saw leap from highway sign seventy feet above over dry ground. fully no safety net bungee cord. as moving, did not see him hit this morning my father lives in, rare hawks backyard. first time ever come here. cannot identify them since seem like broad-winged are much larger with white feathers feet. together sight. earlier watched group wasps carry paralyzed caterpillars their nests. later, fireflies all blinking unison, knew philadelphia species north. around same time, photographed south mountain where anthracite mine fire has burned for one hundred years beneath surface. when month ago, thermophilic sulphur bacteria. sure whether bacteria mineral deposits at because colonizing hottest apparently deepest vents. only slight weather dry. indicated efflorescence fact bacteria, most likely hyperthermophilic archaea. __
