they did a slap-up paint job last year and i noted poor spider bridge's stone was crumbling and they said it was scheduled for removal. but now they're fixing it and keeping it open meanwhile. yay. the bridge workers are friendly and they like mister. evan asked me what's my nationality, and i said mutt, ukrainian and scottish and who knows, there was a native in there somewhere. he said, reason i ask is you look kind of like me. i told him my mail carrier friend said i was getting my negro on, and that made me happy. i think there is a little blackness in me, but i hope the po-po don't see.
