Station

Tuesday. Lights out by ten to awaken at six-fourteen after (cross our fingers) a pretty good night's rest. Up in the usual fashion to walk to breakfast on another overcast morning in contrast to yesterday's bright sun. Arrived just before seven to sit and have the two strips of bacon, eggs over medium, country potatoes, toast, fruit cup and coffee for breakfast. Why not was the thought, whatever the weight was on the scale earlier this morning?

Oh, oh.

Again, the usual walk home taking the usual walk home pictures, the day still overcast, the camera doing what it could to take a decent picture without my help. Well, not totally without my help, but we do think about these things, application to detail, effort. Still, at this age, we don't do but think about them a bit and decide at the most it might have been better to think about them decades past when it mattered.

Nothing on the schedule. Some thought of doing the laundry, but it can wait for a few days.

You need to go by an ATM.

Ah, right. Maybe take pictures at the apartment house construction site on Webster near Grand.

Later. No laundry, but took a bath and then a bus to the Broadway ATM, deciding to skip taking pictures at the apartment house construction site and catching a return bus that was due in minutes. The usual head in its bubble business.

Processed more photographs until two and, instead of listening to the news, as I usually do, headed for bed and listened to the BBC News on the radio for close to an hour, up again to continue on television, feeling better. Finished the How Weird pictures but for the thumbnails, and so we'll finish and post them tomorrow.

Evening. I've been watching a Netflix thing that's really dumb to dumber, but off the wall enough that it's kept me from bailing and trying to find something else. Not a good use of one's time, better to be sleeping. Or something.

Back to bed by nine, staying up long enough to hear the Warriors had won their game and the series. Can't say why, but it's something I've done now since these series started. Less odd, perhaps, for someone who otherwise doesn't follow the game, than taking pictures that includes a picture of the price of gas every morning at the same station.
