Lifeforce

The other day, when I was dropping Eamon off at school, I noticed these three round holes in the middle of the white lines of the road which runs in front of his school. Rte 1. gets lots of traffic. And these lines must get run over hundreds, if not thousands, of times a day. But inside each of the three little round holes in the pavement was a little cup of dirt, and growing in each little cup of dirt was a tiny green plant, less than an inch high. Just small enough so that when a car tire runs over the hole, the plant is protected in its little cup in the pavement. Amazing.
