I hosted a holiday party for my co-workers in my building’s community room and I took some of them on a brief tour of my place. I’ve lived here five years and I’ve grown habituated to my admittedly spectacular view. A sharp intake of breath usually accompanies a visitor’s first glance at the panorama beyond my windows and this serves as a reminder for me to never get to so accustomed to something that you stop seeing it.
One of my colleagues watched the big clouds of steam from the local energy plant blot out the silhouettes of the nearby buildings. He remarked that it looked like a scene out of Blade Runner.
