For the bleary-eyed people who come out here every morning, there is a sort of mysticism in their extracurricular plans, and a deeply—held belief in the efficacy of their eight-and-a-half-by-eleven” icons. And so, when I left the Yard that morning, head full of field notes, I had already began to miss these people and their rituals. May they prosper and be well in their exotic paradise...
