Abandoned

.
There is a walking/biking/rollerblading trail along the Mississippi, starting a kilometer or so north of the Arch. Most of it is wedged onto the strip of land between the floodwall and the river. The area is scruffy, to say the least. The "posture" of this scooter along the path and the color of the grass reminds me of Andrew Wyeth's famous painting, Christina's World. Maybe there's a metaphor for Christina Olsen's paralysis in this broken toy.

WHAT SILLY THING I HAVE TO DO TODAY:
drive two hours each way for one lousey hearing. *#%@!&^ judge.


TOMORROW:
it's measured in joules.
