Here is the last building before the dead end  at the canal, so it's a secluded walk for me  as I COME around to the front of her building again. It's sticky-hot outside in August. The capital was built on swampland and our humanity is unbearable this time of year. I don't blame Congress for staying away.

Two Younger guys  are standing outsuse the loft building across the street,smoking cigarettes and checking out my bike "Sweet Ride", one of them says.
