Previous - 27. Reprise + Lunch
Sk8tr girl again
I thought I had written about the woman who races around here backwards on roller-skates and who once fell and knocked herself silly, but now I can't find it. She's at it again. (I'm sitting in the window at the Bank Cafe again because I only have a short time today between when I have to let people into my building for inspections.) It's even the lunch hour so the sidewalks are even more crowded than usual. She does seem to have a better helmet than I remember her having before -- but no more sense.It is entertaining sitting here in the window. I just saw a very happy looking crazy person survive walking across the intersection against the light with cars nearly hitting him. I don't think the traffic really registered with him. Sk8ter girl has been by another couple times. She does see the pedestrians -- she has to to avoid them -- but I imagine she sees them as an audience she is performing for. Or maybe just as the things you avoid on a slalom course. Honestly I'm amazed she can do it as, in my experience, people move pretty unpredictably.
Potty again
Since I'm just rambling, I may as well report the disappearance of Potty from the alley this morning. He's gone from the site entirely. He will be missed. I can only hope he's gone on to a better place... someplace with more room and perhaps something he can be chained to so that life doesn't continue to tip him over and push him around.I can honestly say our alley is an emptier place without Potty. And today is also the first day our contractors are doing no work in the building, which makes a sort of God-has-a-demented-sense-of-humor kind of sense.
I really need to start a new book.
