Driving back to the house after a walk by the Fraser River, I passed a bus parked off to one side of the road.
I stopped, turned around, and went back.
This is why.

Let Ithaka be always in your thoughts.To get there is your goal and destiny.But do not hasten to your journeyâs end:itâs better if it lasts for many yearsso that you'll reach the island when youâre old,wealthy with all youâve gained along the way,not hoping Ithaka will make you rich.Your marvellous journey is Ithakaâs gift.Without her you would not have started out.But she has nothing more to give you now.And if you find she's poor, youâve not been fooled.So wise have you become, so much youâve learned,that you will know what Ithakas must be.Source: Seen in passing on X-Twitter.

Very cool! I’m impressed!
Alison – Thanks! You can see why I had to stop and drive back.
đ !!
Barbara – Yeah, that about covers it. đ
Windshield?
Jim T – Yes, a big windshield. Sorry – I put that note in the description but not in the text.
Well, I tried rotating the picture to see if I could find the line where the reflection (presumably in water) met the reality, and it didn’t work. So then I tried to think about what could create that kind of distortion…. Yes, you did refer to a bus, but I didn’t immediately clue in.

Jim – Captioning would seem to be in order.
