I take the windsurfer. I do not ask. Micha has noted this in the log more than once, and I see no reason to change a working system. The point of the windsurfer is altitude, and the point of altitude is noticing things before anyone else does... which is how I came to be circling the far side of the pond when something landed in the Wildly Funny Animal T-Shirts collection.
Filed From Above the Pond
The one that made me circle back is the Animals Over People ~ Premium Tee. I did two laps to be sure. The name does the explaining, which is how I prefer my T-shirts and my fellow residents. It is not a complaint about people (I like several people, and one of them brings the fish bucket). It is a ranking, calmly filed, worn by somebody who has simply stopped pretending the ranking goes the other way.
The log keeps one question for moments like this >>> who walks up to the glass for it? You already know. The friend whose favorite animal takes six minutes to explain, and who keeps the six minutes ready. The put-together adult whose most alive hour of the week happens in front of animal videos, alone, with the door closed. The one who holds the same branch through every meeting and would like it noted that they are fine. Syd reviewed the wording from his branch. He sends his regards, slowly.
If you keep a mental list of exactly whose desk, whose closet, or whose birthday this belongs to (you know who you are, and so does the capybara), it has also been filed under Gift Ideas & Apparel. And it is sitting in New Tees Just In for the Animal Lovers who check that collection the way the hedgehog checks the apple pile: often, thoroughly, and without apology.
That is the report. A T-shirt worth taking home, the collections now holding it, and a parrot who was never asked to do the flyover doing it anyway ~ Micha can note it in the log. I will return the windsurfer when I am finished with it, which is not yet.
