On our daily commute to day care, Ro consistently pointed out a blinking office at a certain point. Every time I tried to see which building he was looking at I failed to understand. The fact that I have to merge onto the free way in heavy traffic at that location didn’t make this much easier. So it took me more than two weeks of probing, asking, looking to finally see what he sees. There weren’t any blinking lights close by, only on the antennas far away. No lights in windows either, or neon letters on buildings – so I remained puzzled for many more days.

The bells are enclosed by wooden lattices arranged in a square. So when driving by, you can see light shining through the tower top and then it gets blocked by the opposite lattice, and then you can see light again – blinking, you know !?
