Drippy day

It's a rainy day here at Oxford Park Towers.  Supposed to be showers all day and into the night. The Detroit area could have as much as 6.5 inches of rain. Some times days like this are ok because you can relax and find things to do inside at least until you become bored and disgusted with it all, pout and over eat on things you shouldn't.  I'm on my second cup of coffee and the flavor is still ringing in my mouth.  I did 5 Storyworth entries about my past and my emotions which was draining because some of the memories weren't the most positive.  Even though I don't get as many readers of this blog as before, I continue for myself not for others. 

We endured a laborious bu  necessary meeting about Shannon and her future needs at Lange House yesterday afternoon. We were asked pointless questions about her and her needs that could never apply to her life by a polite and patient young lady from MORC.  All of these need to be answered every three years to assure funding for her care in housing and learning programs.  Upon departure, the skies opened up and driving was tough seeing between the raindrops.  As we went south and west into Oakland County, the downpour ceased.  

It is perplexing that the sad truth is that if the missing and perished girl was an African American citizen there would be no coverage of the tragedy.  America's interest is only of pretty blondes with a social media presence.  There are many black girls and boys that go missing and are killed little or no press coverage.  Systemic racism  is quite pervasive.

The show "Only Killings in this Building" is getting better and more intriguing.  Thank you Rick Bradford for the encouragement  to continue watching. They keep introducing interesting characters, like Nathan Lane (my favorite) and Sting, both playing minor but pivotal roles, also the lovely but droll Jackie Hoffman.  We are viewing "Mr. Corman" on Apple+TV.  Judy is a bit more cerebral than I, and she really gets the show, me not so much.

We successfully passed our apartment inspection this morning. I know, really. big news.  Kind of a boring day.  Will trudge thru the rain to feed Apollo and let him out for a reluctant pee.  

all for now

stay safe
