Plastic Bag

Walking home some day last week, my attention was caught by the sight of a plastic bag above Watt Avenue. It was very high up, maybe 100 feet. As I walked south toward Auburn Boulevard, the bag slowly, gently, made its descent. It seemed to follow me as I walked along; it must have been several minutes. In front of me, a bus was parked as a driver took their break. The bag floated down and touched the driver's side window, resting finally on the asphalt. An amazing (and somewhat sad, given the amount of litter on the roadways) coincidence.

Sort of like this (except in reverse): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUzBMDWxFp8
