The next afternoon after Nik’s arrival …
[rDay Seventeen-Hundred-Seven]
Turns out that Nik had to take a later departing flight from Seattle, so he picked up a book at an airport bookstore to help him get through a few hours. He just happened to get Jia Tolentino’s “Trick Mirror”, after browsing the store’s staff picks. And it just happens that Tolentino is a New Yorker staff writer I happen to follow; I was going to try to get a Kindle version as soon as it became available. So, Nik finished it off, and I will start reading it as soon as I complete my current reading assignment, the nearly-1000-page “These Truths: A History of the United States.”
Arriving from Seattle in the darkness and rain …
[rDay Seventeen-Hundred-Six]
Fall on Maple Street …
Unabated fog (and cold) this morning …
Up early in the morning dark and fog. Mid-morning meeting with the car guys. Break for lunch and brief blue sky. Back to the work space and finally head home again at dark and renewed fog.
