The Aftermath
The company/management plumber, bless his heart, arrived about 10:15 pm Sunday night. I had spoken with him on the phone, about an hour earlier. [ Someone in one of the other buildings had his number .] Since the crisis was over, he said, and he lived ‘out-of-town he would deal with it ‘tomorrow’. I had …
Evidence
Two blocks from where I live is a police station. Every so often a wrecked car is parked along the street; disturbing and unsightly. This stretch limo was the most graphic. The sealed evidence was in the front passenger seat and the rear right side. The front of the car was badly ripped up. The …
Speechless!
Awoke last night at 4:28. Nothing startled me, just awoke and thought to get out of bed. I always note the time for various reasons. Outside it was quiet. Until. At 4:30 my outside door buzzer went. Not too long, not too short, just about right. First thought it was ‘kids’ or someone quietly walking …

The End
and indeed it is. Just delivered my favored car a 911 C4S to the new owner. It is akin to giving up something to which you are attached in the way one becomes attached to something outside oneself. Inexplicable but none the less, sad and sweet. The new owner sold me the previous 911 …

Portland!
The downtown place: Broadway, Fifth Avenue, and all those tree-named streets and alphabetically named streets [on the ‘other side’ of Burnside]. During the weekdays, it is a city. There are pedestrians, who wait for ‘walk’ and stop at ‘talk to the hand’. There is a ‘rapid transit- trolley’ system and a bus system, one way …
