A man waving a white cane before him and wearing a backapck was walking across the park, and I could see him from my window. In the background I could hear a rhythmical "beep... beep... beep...", so I naturally rolleyes: )assumed the cane and backpack were a metal detector and the beeping was the sound it was what was guiding him to the presence of metal. I stood and watched for the better part of a minute, with fuzzy thoughts like "but metal detectors aren't usually slender and white..." and "but why is he treasure-hunting in the middle of a very busy park?" trying to penetrate the fog of sleeplessness in my brain.
Then a big white shape passes in front of my window, and I realise that the rhythmical beeping was not a metal detector sound at all, but the siren of a reversing pick-up truck, and the man was blind and holding a white cane...
Could some kind soul mail me some coffee please?
