ONWARD

SUNDAY

JULY 5TH 2020

1 a.m.

Waited for the fireworks after the fireworks to die down

to have a lovely peaceful walk around Gramercy Park accompanied by a delightful breeze

So hot I'm shut in with fans and music all day.

Earlier
When I went out for a few necessities, a very angry man had an issue with my policewoman friend. Apparently he shows up almost daily and wants to go to the Precinct to demand a escort to his homeless shelter on 17th street, where, he states, everybody hates me. She refused him and he was super horrible with name calling insults. She and I stepped aside while her partner let him talk. She said "I'm so tired" and there were tears. Sexism is alive and well in the street and even at the precinct. She has a son and intends to raise him to respect others.

Close
I didn't dare shoot his face. He wore a threatening mask and had threatening symbols hanging from his neck.

I crossed the avenue and continued downtown.

Monday

July 6th

I was having an afternoon nap when

KABOOM

I shot out of bed. The storm outside my window was full of lightning and more thunder. I closed it.

Then hard rain for an hour or more, after which I went outside walking for a while.

After the storm
