Sequin Spill

We have been tracking (double meaning) with interest the progress of a spill of sequins. "A spill of sequins?" you say, with an upward intonation.

Yes, at the Jefferson Avenue entrance to an alley between 4th and 5th, someone spilled a package of sequins of mixed colors and sizes, and since we go downtown fairly often, and pass this corner most times that we go down, we have been able to observe the sequins spreading gradually up and down Jefferson, and north and south along 4th and 5th Streets.

[Update 1: Yesterday, we saw someone bending over the site of the sequin spill, apparently about to take a photograph of it. We'd have stopped to compare notes with her, but we were pressed for time.]

[Update 2: Today, we observed our first sequins west of the railroad tracks -- they are getting around, like animal-borne seeds.]
