Getting Regular Again

 


Has been a while. Stopped into Last Stop but owner not there and no familiars. It was a coffee klatsch of sorts years ago. Construction workers had their breakfast, being given tokens for after knocking off. I'm sure I have a photo in archive.

Here we go. T'is Zack. Retired FDNY and Motoguzzi enthusiast. Last I heard from him was before pandemic. He had gotten a lease from USDA to live in an old ranger shack in Yavapai NF.




The place really stinks. Not even a sour beer in the sawdust odor but more ripe. Good thing patio. Was curious to see old staff but - no way. People have moved on.

Out and about today. Went to Lux too, earlier. Different sort of stinkers. Got my work done in a fish bowl. Finished this off:




Sent  it to sister for her birthday. Despite the absurd neglect and profound stupidity she and her siblings manifest. Bad people.

Winding down. Long day. Found some items I was looking for. Hard to find some things. Out of stock supply line issues. Golly, I'd clear the coast of these provocateurs and start over.

Robobust


Activities of daily life. When doing nursing, that was the description of an invalid's milieu. How's about people watching? Slowing down in a dearth of societal activity, I've taken to parking at the gas pump in front of convenience stores for a little while after getting a pop or gassing up.


So it was this night. The bigger picture would show a motorcycle on the left. This fellow was alternately panhandling then going off like a psychotic, muttering and gesticulating. A very candid shot. Better cropped and fabulous!


The bot security guy on the case. Avant-garde. Not bad for an amateur. Fun processing. Here again, activities of my life. No, not the crazy guy!
