Yellow painted lines on the black asphalt of a school playground have a special magic all their own. Not only did someone take the time to paint those lines.....but generations of children ran across the stenciled art. We really are all time travelers.

“Yes, Robin, there are quite a few holes in this roof. I surmised that our planes strayed off course when practicing a bombing run, but then I got this message from the Riddler. It says, ‘What sits and waits for those who can wait no longer?’”
“Holy tough riddle, Batman. However will we figure it out?”
“Luckily, Robin the answer is right in front of you!”
“Do you mean the linemen who service the power lines, Batman?”
“That is an idiotic answer, Robin. You are going to have to try harder if you want to remain my sidekick. What do you see on the roof, Robin?”
“Holy flapping wings! I see birds, Batman!”
“Finally, I mean that is correct, Robin. The answer to the riddle is Vultures. I am going to lower you into the hole so that you can check and see if anything is dead!”
“I am going to need the bear spray, Batman.”
“Sigh!”
Mostly off until Sunday! Have a great weekend, my friends!

I know that the cracks in this asphalt appeared before the plants poked their green stems up to the sunlight. However, I do appreciate how small plants will appear through concrete sidewalks and asphalt. The roots of the plant will take advantage of existing microscopic cracks. New cell growth takes place at the tips of plant roots. As the root system grows and develops, these tips act as feelers, seeking out the path of least resistance for expansion.
