i think my underwater camera has experienced death by drowning and it is unlikely as we may imagine in human terms that the little buddy is transitioning. i removed the screws on the back in order to have a look inside and bring in some light and lilac air, but apparently the screws are just cosmetic, though they are actually screws and may be guilty of looseness and leakage. it sits on the windowsill in the light it cannot see. 
on the one hand i met some hideous haters in the park, and i really have gotten a flow going there, like i'm known, and generally liked, so it gets in my gut when assholes come, though i s'pose it's their park too and i will henceforward steer mister well around them. on the other hand i walked monkey, funky monkey, who's so cute he could charm the pants off anyone but the most hateful beast and even though he's stubborn only inspires my own adoration. he kept flattening out in the shade when he got too hot or i went the wrong way, and trying to go in places for air conditioning, and he tooke me to the cleaners for treats. and because i was walking the monkey at that particular moment i passed the free book box and a gent came up with a good clean copy of the 2nd edition150th anniversary edition of moby dick because the 3rd just came out and i was already thinking of moby dick after reading philip hoare's the whale and so on the one hand and even the other really it was a goodly balanced day and i still have one more funky monkey walk though i am under no illusions about my camera being dead.
