Hopon Ping You take Ping's hand firmly in yours. Ping is carried away when a runaway sputnik rams into her. Ping has left. Ping takes you along with her, holding your hand. The Rose Garden(#304RLCJ) The water fountain stands at the center of the Rose Garden, a circular pond with cement funnels, water turned off for the fear of ice. From it, running in the cardinal directions, are twin avenues covered in about six centimeters of snow; and surprisingly deep straits of water that extend to the distance. A light fog rises from the warm water, condensation slowly eating away the snowfall. Bracketing the fountain and several curled benches the roses grow, with the larger flowers still poking out from the white blanket in concentric circles out to the trees. A vertical orange wall with notes sticking to it serves as the bulletin board, and a drinking fountain offers something to sip on. A light dusting of snow coats the benches and skims on the leaves of the rose bushes, and the bare branches of the oaks reach over the pathways, with the leaves heaped against their trunks. The sunless sky slowly turns orange and purple in the cool, still air. It's getting on 5 pm in a sense.
