What's new

Reverse Pet Peeves

I took an Uber to the Food Truck and Brewery Challenge tonight at the Gateway Center. When I'd had enough I decided to walk from the Gateway to the house I grew up in on 1135W (Glendale St) 255S. It was a 15 min walk, but it took me past the shelter on 2nd W, over the 4th S viaduct, and through my old neighborhood.

It was absolutely beautiful!

I mean on the 4th S viaduct I did walk past a woman who was huddled up against a lamppost support covered in a blanket and lighting something with a lighter. On the same bridge there was human feces. But on the other side, the place I grew up, there was a carnival going on at a Catholic church, with music, kids, food, this is less than 2 blocks from my childhood home. There was also a celebration at someone's house with music, bouncy houses, BBQ, kids. There were people playing in the playground of my elementary school, Franklin Elementary. I honestly had to fight back tears. It was a neighborhood. It was a community. People think it's the ghetto but it's one of the most wonderful places in the valley.

I'm happy I grew up there. I'm happy it is still mostly what I remember (better, actually). I'm happy I took the walk.
 
Went to bed last night thinking there was a chance we might have a new government, the PM survived but is a dead man walking. Libs have got no chance come the next election. Superb news.
 
So the Tories have had another purge and we have a new Prime Minister some Tory bastard came out and said to the press, "Well at least we're not North Korea" The political editor of the ABC thanked him for pointing that out. Gold!!

I mean, if the game offers difficulty settings, which one do you go with? Standards-shmandards.
