The photo is from Hiroshima. It's the shadow of what was there before the bomb.
9/11/2022
Yesterday it was hot and muggy and sticky. Almost every day since May has been hot and muggy and sticky. We have a small house with air conditioning; utility bills are not prohibitive so I am a lucky that way. It’s usually cool enough in here.
The photo is from a trip to Arizona that Len and I took several years ago. His employer had said he had to take vacation time. We sat here in our office not knowing where to go or what to do; it came up that fast. We looked up cheap flights from Milwaukee,; Phoenix popped up for $150 round trip. That was how we decided.
I’ve been trying and trying to write but it hasn’t happened so this morning I looked at some of my old stuff and found this from ten days after 9/11. Made me remember who we are.
I think the miserable karma of Trump is happening. I hope we will be okay. I’m not sure how talk about the harm he has done and is doing now.
But we … we are still who we are.
