The “Universe” provides! I was on my way to Manhattan for an assignment and well ahead of schedule so I stopped by our local lake to see what the sunrise had to offer. This is what I found. A man was delivering puppies to a new home and stopped to let his dogs run at the boat ramp. The sun had just come up into a dense fog over the lake and he was calling them in for a snack before traveling on. Here is the press release letter:
