Book hunting
Who knew Bukowski would be so hard to find. In one used bookstore, they keep the Beats, when they have any,behind the front desk; owing to their great value? There was a collection of Willa Cather's short stories, which my mom will enjoy. We have a growing selection of short story collections, and she likes to re-read some of them. The humorist Douglas Welch has been a favorite lately.
Odd to be in the University District around lunch time; so many kids milling around, including sorority girls who look like caricatures of themselves, make up piled on faces, sagging sweat pants, Greek logos rampant. They clog the drugstore, yacking on cell phones. One young dude saunters along, bragging on his cell phone about the amount of alcohol he soaked up last night.
The skies are split, half blue, half bruised.

You remind me of my days at the university. I was around that stuff all day long. Some students made me glad that we were entrusting the future to them. Others, not so much.
