Today was actually a somewhat nice day in Munich, nice enough to permit me to go throw around the frisbee at the English Gardens, which are now much emptier than in the summer. There were no FKK sunbathers today; "the hippie time is over." However there was a striking sundog above the twin towers of the Frauenkirchen as the sun began to set.
Once, I was watching my frisbee glide off into the distance when my focus shifted to a bird flying past. I followed the bird as it flew upwards until it passed in front of a distant airplane. My focus shifted again and I watched the airplane disappear into a cloud. But then it came back, circling, and it dawned on me slowly that I was watching someone's toy airplane.
