The view from the Tenderloin

The View from the Tenderloin:
By noon today I had walked five point eight miles, and learned the hard way that the pot clubs are only doing orders placed online for pick up at the curb. I waited a full hour in line to get two money orders, then walked to the new apartment to get the keys. By the time I had signed a few things, and the manager gave me the tour, I was shot. It was an incredible relief to sit for a few minutes in the comfy leather rocker the previous tenant had left. The good news is that I love the place, though it's half the size of the Hyde St. Apartment, the building is much newer. Everybody wore masks, it is a senior housing. I can have helpers to move in, as long as they are masked, but then absolutely no guests for the time being. Since the last four years have been, um, interesting, I can't help thinking what a blessing in disguise this enforced peace is going to be.
I will make a serious attempt to get my stuff over there over the weekend, both large and small. It will be a labor of love. My old business partner is helping, and since my little buddy stopped by, he may help as well. Masked, of course.
Hold those dear to you close.
God save the Republic
