My dad told me that he and his buddies would stand on a street corner in dahntahn Pittsburgh in the 1940s and stare up into the sky at nothing just to see how many passersby they could get to look.

Sounds like fun. If only they had TikTok back then. They could have gone viral. 🤣

Oh, man, one can riff on this. Looking for the Chinese balloon. Reading smoke signals. Waiting for the rapture. It’s fun to be a little crazy!

At least the sky isn't falling. If you want to get people outside at work, activate the fire alarm. You go, Mark.

That would probably get you in trouble. But you can't help it if people follow you outside. 🤓

YOU make me smile. ( and I don't even need to jump up and go outside ) I always appreciate your light heart, Mark. It is contagious. I need it.

I do do much jumping these days, will a leisurely walk outside do?

I doubt it. But if you walk rapidly with a surprised look on your face, it might. 😉

My co-worker Henrietta loves it when we jump up and run outside. 🐾
