Along the route I normally take to lunch, I passed through an empty lot that I learned to love, to pay attention to. Something was always changing, growing. I watched the red scrubgrass take over the tracks left by construction equipment parking, it followed by a more delicate green grass, very recently growing numerous, tall and strong. I learned where to step when it had rained to avoid both the mud and damaging the plant life.

Last week, construction began in that lot. I was moderately curious to see what they were putting in; I imagined another overpriced restaraunt or fast food stand, but now the answer is clear; it's a parking lot. I've never felt an affinity for Joni Mitchell until today. Damn it, why can't I live in the land of phor, of Ding an Sich, at least for a little while?

I understand... I get the same feeling about that fool next door with his chainsaw. Why must people go and ruin things?

And of course, it seems so symbolic of my life out here...
