The weather was mild that evening in the neighborhood but there were no other people outside, everyone was inside watching the following on television: the Tony Awards, a rerun of Sanford and Son, a news program with a bookish looking woman, and a show she did not recognize that featured a cop standing in front of an open refrigerator. She was on a walk so she did not stop to watch any shows for long, only caught glimpses of the action. She was like a human remote, changing channels each house she passed. She considered stopping and taking in a full episode of something but it was too hard to choose what to watch so she just kept walking.
