Mortal



Samuel Bear is charged with taking care of my glasses, in the midst of confusion. I'm very grateful he is willing to provide this service. 

I finished all the tasks necessary for Unemployment today. I need to do a bit of modernizing with my resume, a paragraph for Career Summary. Well, I can write. I will likely work out the style here. Likely write the negatives here, and then evert it. 


 There was a death at the corner, man on an electric scooter vs a car, and no other information. Street closed off, surveyors and cops for hours.  Usually I hear, but for some reason this time did not. There were plenty of responders, as is so often the case in this neighborhood. One neighbor, out with his dogs, witnessed it. The other heard it. 


This from the news site, I did not go out with a camera. 

Later, much later, after all this was cleared, the crew building the moved bus stop began work. 


Heard about a former co-worker, who's old friend and new fiancé, was shot to death yesterday. Not by police, I feel the need to add.

The world seems a sad and mortal place today.

It's beginning to seem like that *every* day to me.

Cat,
It really has been. But then I remember growing up in Detroit when it was murder capitol, and there were shootings daily, so many the news didn't cover them all. I lived in a fairly safe neighborhood, and I remember hearing gunshots, not to mention frequent house fires nearby.

I really want a lot of gun control happening, including disarming Police.

Some days. I don't know whether to wish you rest/recovery or a return to fighting form. I guess 1 and then 2.

Nimle,
I'm sticking with holding on.
