“On the way to breakfast, looking back at me with an almost unsettling regularity were the same Obama faces from the windows of six places.”

November 8th, done with work, I finally walk around and see a morning. Mornings on Saturday start at noon or so.
2 p.m., food in mind, I head out for some foul at Cafe Selam. I clear the week out of my body from the ground up. Feet, knees, hips, shoulders, then eyes. By about 3 p.m. I get to my head. But I wasn’t there yet; I was still at eyes.
On the way to breakfast, looking back at me with an almost unsettling regularity were the same Obama faces from the windows of six places. Only three survived for this posting. I’m sure everyone has seen these by now, but I hadn’t until that morning.
Not making a point here, but it sure was surreal on that calm brisk walk to have these Warhol-worthy big Obama faces looking back at me–that first weekend after the election.
