Cleanliness: the Sneetches come to Singapore
Here’s the man driving the combination golf-cart/vacuum cleaner this morning. There are two or three of these machines on campus, and they are driven by elderly men in sun hats. They get started before the traffic does, and their job is to clean the gutters of all the roads on campus. Too bad I didn’t happen across the one with the happy pinwheels in front. These machines remind me of Dr. Seuss – specifically of the Star-On and Star-Off-Again machines, run by Mr. Rory MacBean, in the story of the Sneetches.
