Memorial Day is a big deal in Somerville. Pre-COVID there was always a big parade early in the morning, followed by several bike races through the streets of downtown, culminating in The Tour of Somerville, a prestigious 50 mile race for professional and top international ameteur riders.
This year the weather was absolutely beautiful, if a bit hot, as I walked through town on my way to watch the big race. As I passed the Somerset County Jail, two blocks east of the race course, I noticed a contrail high above in the clear blue sky, heading out of Liberty International Airport, 24 miles to the Northeast. The contrast between the prisoners behind those windowless walls and the passengers high above in the westbound airliner seemed symbolic of something, perhaps the value of freedom. http://dan-matyola.squarespace.com/danmatyolas-pesos/2022/6/3/ffeebird K-5 IIs, smc DA 18-135hour mm F 3.5-5.6 ED AL [IF] DC WR Comments, criticisms, questions, and suggestions are invited and appreciated.
