went on a long bike ride yesterday afternoon. it had rained, but was still cloudy, meaning that the city was actually cool. it made me long for fall, and crisp cold air and falling leaves, but this is southern louisiana, and i have a long wait for that.
but the bike ride was nice, and i went bumping along these broken streets, and smiled at neighbors, and forgot for a little bit how scared and depressed i am these days.
