A dumpster jacked up to keep hands off; scrap.  The shiny silver glints, wreckage saved.

  I've been spending time each morning handing out business cards to do light-duty (not a contractor) landscaping and carpentry.  This morning's sunny start was also perfect for checking out plants at Lowe's.  It's that time of year for our vegetation friends to get out of their pots, too confining since they've grown, and into someone's TLC.

  Fourth of July preparations are being made all over the place.  Someone kindly even stood Our flag on a median.

  Listening to Delilah on the radio somewhat smoothed the not-so-great feelings about coming back to the city.  Could be any city; and I really mean, not-as-good, I don't feel quite as good about concrete as I feel when I'm in nature.  So that's good to know about myself.

  I'm reading Michener's Poland.

  Stay well wherever you live.  It was nice to reconnect with some lifelong friends.  Thank you.
