"Sorry!" Large woman with larger e-bike, subtly but not egregiously invades my space. We're fine. I have feet which move.

Old Town. The teens with colored hair, and a remarkably odd recruiting poster for the Navy Reserve. A woman with a camera steps from a blue-outlined spacetime portal in the shape of a crucifix. The portal, not the woman. Either way: Huh?
