I saw another Einstein today. Just peddling down Sycamore Avenue on a bicycle. As if we didn't have enough, and here was another one, large as life. I knew for sure it was another one, because ours doesn't ride a bike--he gets around in a chauffeured limo. Not that he comes around our town much, anyway, except for big corporate dos. I stood there, watching the Einstein whirr and clank past in no particular hurry, and I felt that sinking feeling grow inside me. I waited, hefting my rucksack on one shoulder, chewing at my bottom lip and I watched his old-guy form disappear into the distance. What on earth he was doing in our neck of the woods, I didn't know, but I could speculate. There had to be an opportunity there somewhere. Wherever there was opportunity, you'd find an Einstein. Briefly, I wondered what he might be looking for in our little town, but there was no way I could even really guess. Usually, we had some warning if another one was going to turn up. Still, we'd find out soon enough, Mary and me.

We just wanted to get on with our lives. We didn't need another Einstein. They were everywhere you looked anyway, without adding another one to the mix. It was hard enough for us common folk to make a mark as it was.
