Sarah and I went for a walk tonight.
Cheap entertainment.
Forecast was for snow. It's been two years since
it snowed
in Seattle. We got a little sleet instead.
Windy, too.
Leaves blew down the street like a teargassed
mob. Some
swirled up in columns like miniature tornadoes.
The streets
were dark and quiet, with hardly any holiday
lights. But
when we did find some, they came in
bunches--"keeping up with the
Joneses."
We walked by a house the RE
Store
recently salvaged. It was now reduced to a pile
of
debris, just about the ugliest
demolition job I've seen.
It was dark, cold, and well after 8 o'clock, but
a worker
was still there, either scavenging the remains
or trying to
finish some final task. It looked bad and we
moved on,
ready for some hot food in our favorite conversation bar.
