Remember the skateboard park that is just outside my window? There was a small version when I moved in and then last year they renovated the skateboard park into this huge beautiful skating facility even with after hours lighting- - no it's never really used thank goodness. I guess I should preface this hole posting as I don't want to sound like one of those senior senile oldies that doesn't like anything that young people do. That's kind of perverse to put a skateboard park next to a senior housing project if you ask me. The new facility is bigger and much better than the other of course which means that anybody any kid in the right mind would go nuts over the facility. It's a free facility it's ran by the county so no charge and it's on the bus route all the elements for abroad constituency. And I don't really have a problem with the skateboard park or the skateboard park people/kids but I do have an issue with using the facilities after hours and what I'm considering after hours anytime after 10:00 p.m. I know that sounds ridiculously early especially for kids standards and especially for teenage standards but come on everybody's got to sleep. I'll bring this up primarily because last night around 2:30 a.m. I heard for the first time loudspeakers saying something like “ you are being warned you are not to skate after hours. If you persist law enforcement will be a notified and you will be fined…”. There was more than announcement of course but you get the gist. Cease and desist Go Away Little skater all that kind of stuff. Of course, law enforcement was not called and nobody showed up and the skater skated on. Took a while to get back to sleep but eventually I did kind of but it was an uneventful sleep because I had to be up at 5:30 to make sure that I was dressed in time to meet the kids for breakfast. So I really didn't get back to sleep. And I felt quite ragged all day long but it's Sunday so I didn't have a whole lot to do but lay back, take the weight off my butt and either read or enjoy my Netflix subscription.
I did not mean to but I started reading Lisey’s Story by Stephen King. I know I've rattled on before about this particular volume I read it twice before I know that maybe even more. Like I said I did not mean to read it again but I started it because I ran out of books to read and I started this to tide me over but I've gotten sucked into book once again. I don't know what I like about Mr King's riding it's just so easy to read, the people seem so normal just like me I guess that I identify with that. I just really like his word craft. I envy his ability to put so many thoughts out together in such a way that push you, the reader, from one thought to the next till you finish the whole book. I think I've read three Stephen King's this year. I'm still looking for a new book I haven't read to read until that time I'll just keep turning pages of this book and be glad that I have access to it…
