ada and lulu got lucky and saw each other across blackstone street. they right off started doing the chest bump and lulu was bonkers so we skedaddled to the corner lot and let em rip but soon ada had to split. anyway lulu was delerious with joy. 

when i got back i found a card from elizabeth and john, the fellow that was assaulted on his bike on the bike trail. it turned out he had a severely broken collar bone, 5 broken ribs and an injured lung and was a week in hospital, 5 days in the intensive care unit. he's on the mend now. it was worse than i thought but it could have been worse, i wish it could have been better, i wish i had been there when the assailant appeared. me and little bear might have scared him off. 

here's to john and elizabeth healing from trauma and violent injury. peace.
