Dog and I just returned from roaming loose around the ‘Hood. Ye GAWDS, but it’s hot out there!!!
Prob’ly not really that hot…Wunderground claims it’s only 90 degrees, in fact rather mild for this time of year. Humidity: supposedly only 9%…..couldn’t prove that by me! Feels hot and damp outside just now, come 2:30 in the afternoon.
This is when I yearn to go back to the San Francisco Bay Area, where my relatives lived.
They’re all late relatives now — the ones who would have anything to do with us W.T. So there’s no one to call me back there, alas.
Actually, there’s still a cousin…she’s a nurse now. But she doesn’t live in the old neighborhood, and she never thought much of me, far’s I can tell. Dunno what I did to pi$$ her off, but she seems not to like me. My father — now long late — was exceptionally stupid about her: disapproved vocally of her conversion to Catholicism. As if that were any of his business, or anyone else’s business!
I hope he didn’t say anything to her…but given the unfriendly way she behaves, my guess is that he did. And you can be assured: whatever he said would have been passing nasty.
So, in reality: no one who would welcome me to the East Bay is still there. So there really would be no point in going back, even for a sight-seeing visit.
That notwithstanding…if I could get back there, I shoot back in an instant!
Ain’t a-gunna happen, though.
