Briefly

At the hospital today ( for regular wound treatment) I made a statement that an aide didn't hear. Wondering what I had said she asked, "May I hear you again?" It struck me that that's a gentle way to ask, "What did you say?" which can be harsh.
I found a new treat at a sidewalk food vendor. Fresh sweet corn is very popular but at this stand it had been cut from the ear. It was served in a bag which included a plastic spoon for 5B...about 15 cents. It made a nice addition to the drumstick and egg rolls.
