Things I saw on the way to a meeting

1. On a country road in the middle of nowhere, a small white church with what looked like a For Sale sign out front, except it wasn't a For Sale Sign. Instead, it said "Minister Needed," followed by a phone number. If the pool of candidates is limited to those who happen to drive down that dusty country road, the congregation may be waiting a while.

2. In front of a vaguely Victorian-looking red house on Main Street in Granville, Ohio, a sign for the Granville Lifestyle Museum and a smaller sign announcing "Hubert's Porch (Adults Welcome)." What would happen if someone maliciously switched this sign with the one on the church?

3. High above Denison University, the prettiest campus in Ohio, a whole flock of turkey vultures swooping in slow, gentle circles. I never saw any of them dive for prey; they just kept circling as if for the sheer joy of it. I wonder what the prettiest campus in Ohio looks like to a turkey vulture?
