I found out recently the High Museum here has a free Saturday for county residents, so I went yesterday and saw an exhibition of Monet waterlilies from MOMA . Very large panels, and quite peaceful to just sit and watch for a long while, as many people were doing on the numerous sofa seats.
Last Thursday I barely grazed a curb near the Marketplace area, and a wheel strut broke. It must have been ready to snap since I only just brushed the curb corner. Fortunately I made it to a nearby parking lot. And seems to have been a spot local police and law enforcement wait at between calls, so I had that protection while waiting for the tow truck. I seem to be lucky with car problems in life, so far, happening in safe or ok places near home or help.
I think when I get the car back I’m taking the bulk of my brothers cremains and releasing on my parents grave site. I’ll keep a small baggy, but I think it’s time to let it go.
Been doing various life re-evaluations last few days, and none of my conclusions are great. Hopefully I’ll get through the various changes well enough.
Been rainy, though mostly south of here.

sounds like a relaxing way to spend an afternoon to be sure. that’s always a scary proposition being stranded with a broken car – especially when you’re cheap like me and don’t have a cell phone to call for help. i’ll prolly regret that one of these days. i’ve always figured that if you’re cremated, the ashes should be let go someplace meaningful otherwise, they become a burden as they are handed down and that person becomes less and less significant to those to whom the ashes get left. but then again, i plan i being planted but i wonder what will happen to my grave some years into the future when i am no longer remembered and the plot i’m in becomes valuable for other uses – perhaps i’ll end up like those black guys in chicago.
as for my life, i’m just gonna let it happen! peace, Al
Sorry about the strut, but sounds like you had a good place for a bad thing to happen.
