On Being Observant

We've always said that Mark was a very observant kid. He notices stuff. All. The. Time.

Thursday we were driving through downtown Noblesville to go get Adam's new glasses, and I pointed out the pretty hanging baskets that adorn the utility poles downtown. Mark asked why there were also microphones. Then I saw the speakers (that's what he was referring to) also installed on the poles. Hmmm, I thought, I hadn't noticed those before. Bet they've been there for some time.

This afternoon I read the following in a news release from the city of Noblesville in the Indianapolis Star's Ledger:

"Downtown Noblesville got a little more colorful last week when 38 hanging baskets...were installed.

"In addition, 12 new standing planters are being placed around the square, and a sound system that will play music year-round was installed recently."

Oh. So they're new. And Mark was the first in the family to notice them. Eeesh.
