Eksempel:

On a Tuesday morning Lois, who is still...

On a Tuesday morning Lois, who was still…

On a Tuesday morning Lois, who is still my favorite of the folks that I look in on, asks if I have time to sign a petition with her. She suffers from early Parkinson’s, and is stoic. […] I bring her a box of Girl Scout cookies, and am happy to help. I open her computer and find the petition site she wants […] me to sign. Hell, yeah − it’s a petition directed at Mariah Carey; the goal is to persuade her not to have live baby elephants and tigers “perform” at her wedding to the billionaire. […] I sign my name, and write a message in the message box “for extra impact”. “Dear Mariah Carey,” I write. “Please do not use baby elephants and tigers in your wedding.” I click on Submit.
The moment I click on Submit, another petition pops up. […] The petition is about an alleged rapist who is about to be given a civic honor. I know nothing about the case, but sign it given the odds. Then sign one to stop helicopter shooting of fenced-in wolves […] and one for convincing a roadside attraction to donate its lonely elephant to a sanctuary where it can be among its kind. […]
All the next day I receive thanks […], not from the organizations […], but from individual elephants and wolves. “Thank you from Toshi.” “Thank you from Eisha.”
