It was laundry time today, so I drove over to a laundromat not far from here, washed clothes for the further journey to Panama City and the train ride home, then went to the Plantation Cafe for a true country breakfast.\u00a0 All the while I marveled at the transformation created by the sun.\u00a0 It is no wonder so many societies have worshipped that flaming presence in our sky.<\/p>\n
