South of Sunnyside

Kim and I have begun semi-regular evening walks with the dogs; it’s good exercise (for us more than the dogs), it’s good stress relief, and it’s great for our relationship.

Last night, as we walked toward California Ave., we noticed that things seemed a bit brighter than before. Evidently, the good folks at the city decided we could have (street) light again! We’ve now gone two whole days without wire theft…

The route we’ve been taking is a bit depressing, as several of the homes across the street are not only abandoned, but they look as though someone has been taking advantage of the vacancies, which is a big safety concern for us. We’ve also noticed that another house on our loop looks as though it’s about to be left for dead: the grass and weed mixture is knee-high and dying, there are dozens of boxes piled high outside of the door, and yet there is no “for sale” sign.

I imagine, given the financial collapses of the last week or so, we’re in for a longer ride that we’d hoped.
