Smooth Ride


It was Friday evening on campus.


As you can see, the scene is virtually moon-like, inanimate and sparse.



Just a minute ago, I was all the way on the 9th floor.


Normally, it would take several minutes for the elevators, stopping by every floor along the way, to reach most people's destinations (janitorial staff might need to go further down), 1st floor.

Today was different. It went STRAIGHT down without changing gear, like a hot knife through soft butter. I didn't even have time to roll up my sleeve to check out the time on my watch!
