lulu and i went to see about the apricot tree. nothing, the fruit still green and sparse, hard to see. the kid fountain is dry and may be cracked. it's getting hot falulu. i asked an officer parked by the midway if he heard anything about gunshots last night. nothing on the log. we had a pleasant conversation about the normalization of violence in our consciousness and agreed it shouldn't and didn't have to be this way and how dogs make us feel safer and more a part of things.

and another thing that's been normalized, the privatization of the park and everything.
