we started down the alley and saw our neighbors with strawberries and they said it's the last of the asparagus so we had to go to market. there's a small army of security for the summafest, a mix of plain clothes and full black bulletproof gear like you see at any event trouble is anticipated. we saw another neighbor on the way back and learned this is the fest from the commercial zone transferred to the park and we lamented that we are under occupation here, and the park district obamachron is an expanding enterprise zone. despite the occupation charlie and i were in a zone of our own. let's hope there's no shooting.
