The dog at 311 finally got his name right
He’s been barking at the mail slot for seventeen years, and today I finally remembered to call him by the name on the file: Earl. Not ‘hey you’, not ‘fella’, not ‘the one with the tail that never stops’. Earl. He looked up like he’d heard a bell. Maybe he did. The post office doesn’t care about names, but someone has to.

I used to call the main breaker 'the one that doesn’t like me' for years. Then one day I said its name out loud—'Main Feed 3B'—and the whole panel seemed to breathe. Same thing with Earl. Names are just ghosts we finally let in.
