Sound

I continue to be surprised by the fruits of this blog. While I was updating facebook, search for me under Merrill Louise), I heard the sound of a tour bus idling on the street. I live above the Lucy museum. The buses aren't suppose to idle in the street but they often do.

This may sound strange, but I am a visual person. I would have been a photographer or videographer. Thinking in sound is an adaptation for me. I don't tend to write about sound, but the bus reminded me I can. Further, Star is a Pantheran and although Star maintains it is not a cat, Star does indeed exhibit many cat features. I've included hearing in them, the swiveling of ears, for example. If Star's vision is average to poor, especially where color is concerned and hearing is improved, sound landscapes would be of higher importance to Star. That works well for both of us.
