Awaken
Tuesday. To sleep at a decent time, I seem to recall, to awaken again at five-thirty and take my time getting up just before six to get ready to head out walking to breakfast at the usual time of a quarter to seven, arriving to find the restaurant open but with no other diners in place. Not unusual. Settled in with papers awash in lead if it bleeds coronavirus and financial news.
The plain waffle with sliced bananas and strawberries, fruit cup and coffee for breakfast because that's what appealed, finishing up not long after eight-thirty now with other diners around. Checking out I noticed the restaurant had a hand sanitizer in place by the register, perhaps due to warnings about paper money often covered with the virus if they'd been touched by an infected person. Yes, I've thought about my habit of paying in cash.
On home to take another series of pictures of flowers that sit in planters along Grand before arriving at the Grand Lake theater light, a picture of one of the flowers still blooming below the Lakeview school and a bicycle rider at the 580 Overpass light. Found some Lime scooters this time by the lake followed by the selfie in the apartment house lobby before settling in with yesterday's entry, adding the evening section and then posting. More of the same, in other words.
Later. More time on the tablet, the usual time listening to/watching the news, the primary results coming in later tonight. I suspect I'm not going to be happy about how Mr. Sanders does, but reality is like that: it makes its own rules and outcomes. Thus it goes.
Evening. Well, Sanders has pretty much been buried in today's primaries, not even close in Michigan which means Biden will take on Trump for the Democrats. Thus it goes. Which leaves climate change where? Biden is a “don't rock the boat” Democrat and “don't rock the boat” candidates, whatever is promised during an election, won't really take on climate change in any meaningful way. I hope I'm wrong.
Otherwise to bed after eight, lights and radio off by nine-thirty, we'll see what the news sites have to say about today's primary results tomorrow when we awaken.
