best laid plans
Sep. 18th, 2006 08:28 pmI was all pysched up - as much as I could be - to do some laundry tonight. The satisfaction of a stack of fresh, hot, dry towels is all one really needs to make it to the next day. That, and nookie. But I digress.
Alas, it was not to be: on the way home, the bus had to make a detour past about four blocks of my street, as it was blockaded by a multitude of squad cars at either end. At least one ambulance was involved, and two paddy wagons. There were a great many people standing around on the sidewalks, which led many bus peeps to theorize that perhaps there had been a shooting.
Unfortunately for me, that stretch of city street is where my laundromat is located, and I just couldn't trust that the street would be free in time for me to make it there and back at a decent hour this evening.
As much as I love my inadvertant environmentalist hippietude that has blossomed forth upon the wreckage of my car like leetle flowers on a freshly-filled grave, the undergrowth tends to brambles and thistles.
My mobility is sufficient. My personality wants more than sufficient.
