Turns out, it’s really a nice day...an Autumnal day, just cool enuff to be glad of long sleeves...our little daily pilgramage seems t’be covering more ground lately what with circling the California House ‘n then wand’ring off to meander ‘round Plaza Park...evidently some sort of brand new scent wonderland for the Ol P-Dogger ‘n Willie as I seem t’be spending most of my time just holding onto the brand new retractible leashes ‘n only moving a few paces at a time...takes awhile t’get around the park like that, lemme tellya...also, I gotta remember to stuff some of those plastic baggies in my pocket....
’course, there wasn’t a lotta people in the park at that time of day...one lonely little boy checking out the construction of whatever you call the climbing monstrosity that normally is covered with children...Oh, ‘n one sleeping drunk....at least, I think he was sleeping...or passed out....or maybe dead...I dunno....not a usual sight at all in Plaza Park but the recession seems t’be worsening (prosperity is just around the corner, notwithstanding)....more ‘n more people out’a work ‘n more ‘n more homeless...prices going up ‘n income going down yet much of California seems t’be in denial about it...
Millyrose ‘n I stopped at Country Waffle yesti’day...waffles were just as good ‘n the coffee just as bad but a brand-new menu with higher prices....too high for me ‘n I guess we won’t be stopping there anymore...well heck, I ain’t s’pozed to eat that kind’a stuff anyways.....
It’s all over the news that the State of California is borrowing 40 millions dollars a day to pay their unemployment...you can’t do that for very long...I have a neighbor who has been drawing over $400 bucks a week ‘n ain’t looking for work...well, why should he when the only jobs available don’t pay that much...on that proverbial other hand, I have neighbors that are working several jobs just tryin’ t’get by cuz they ain’t eligible for gov’t assistance.....t’is a puzzlement....
