flowers, cops and trains
June 6, 2009This time of year, flower sales go way up, thanks to graduations and other year-end events. Purple and white leis are in all the supermarkets, various bouquets and festive balloons to hand out to happy new grads.
On the way home from Palo Alto this morning, we passed the train crossing at E. Meadow and Alma, site of two recent suicides by high school students. Thursday night, there was an attempt at another. Fortunately, this was thwarted by the mother and a passer-by. A police presence was promised by the local cops, and there they were, two of Palo Alto’s finest on a brilliant spring day.
Between them, you could glimpse the bouquets of flowers piled up.
