Friday dusk in downtown Catonsville.  The main street, the heart of town,
is filled with people going about their business.  And all of them are
oblivious to a couple hundred chimney swifts swirling and calling
overhead.  I stop to watch.  People probably think I'm crazy, looking up
in the air, and they probably think I'm next; the police are arresting a
crazy  homeless guy just down the street.  Pretty soon the swifts start
entering the chimney of Plymouth Wallpaper, in the heart of town, one
block east of the firehouse.  Quite a show!   7:25 pm Friday September 18.
In a few minutes it's over, and I head home.
