Due to complicated logistical proceedings I wound up with my bike on campus and my self off campus. And so I started off on this morning of no classes on the leisurely 25-minute walk toward school.

But before I got a full block away, lo and behold, there were ramekins! On the ground! In a deep, rich French blue glaze! Next to a sign that said "Free!"

Whereupon I picked up the five ramekins, turned around, deposited them at home, and drove to campus instead.
