Friday Night Delights

The afternoon creeps toward 5:00. I SIT IN MY “Window on the

West” watching the flow of traffic and wondering “where all these people are going? The same way I wonder what all these people are doing up late when I have had chance to cross a bridge, not far from my home, which spans an Interstate. 1,2,3 three in the morning and the Interstate is pretty well packed. “zoom, zoom, zoom” all day and all night people are hurrying to get where they are going and rarely, it looks, ever getting there. Like yesterday afternoon I had my monthly Housing Non-profit Corp meeting. I did not bring my van in because the driver’s seat is acting up and I do not wish to be trapped in the van. So all I had was my power chair and I took off for my meeting with a little less then seven power lights showing. I went to the wrong address at first eroding my power supply to five lights brown and red. By the time I backtracked and got to my meeting I was down into the red zone—just three lights. By the time I got done with the meeting and back to the train I was on two lights. I cross ed Interstate 15 on my way home from the train station. I stopped in the middle of the bridge and just watched cars pass beneath me for a minute or two wondering if I have enough “juice” to make it home and wished I had all these vehicles power.

Its Friday night and Anakah is over for the weekend, ALL weekend! We just came home from the obligatory dinner at KFC and Dianne and Anakah are sequestered out on the deck doing grandmother granddaughter stuff: Anakah setting up her make believe kitchen and grandmother letter Anakah do what ever Anakah wants. Keeps them busy and out of my hair. Its nice tonight, clear and still in the low eighties—I think I'll read.
