“We took an oath long ago to protect against all enemies foreign and domestic, and I don’t think(we) either ever imagined that we would have to kick in on the domestic piece of our oath, but we have, we are, and we will.”

orange night

I used to have a job (and I thought it was a career, but I was wrong) at the local transit system. This orange building was just across the street from where I worked but I was so caught up in the excitement* of my job that I hardly noticed that it was there.

So maybe it was an apology to the place when I went downtown the other night and made some photos of it.

*When I say “excitement” I actually mean abject boredom and rampant sexism. So you know, practically the very same thing.

number 8, on the move

Number eight, over there on the right is in the fifth grade. She’s been playing soccer since she was in pre-Kindergarten. She’s also played volleyball, basketball, and softball. She plays golf with her dad and can’t wait until she’s old enough to run track at school.

This season, she’s also playing flag football so there are two games almost every Saturday.

And she’s my granddaughter Bennett.
