Tommy's car on Skyline photographed by an amateur photographer he met after they took this

My morning started early, for a Saturday. I met Comcast at Panorama at 7.30 am. I used the time to start collecting the wood scraps and assorted items into one place. The Comcast guy was pleasant and quickly worked around the fallen tree to reconnect the house cable.  Tommy and I had breakfast at LG Cafe. Linda's brother visited her with her sister this morning, and apparently, she would not wake up. So that didn't work out as expected. He waited too late and for selfish, ignorant, childish reasons that I'll never understand. He should be ashamed of himself for this and his similar treatment of his brother. This from the man who professes the value of family? Spare me, you infantile prick. Yeah, I'm pissed. Separately I was informed that a friend was having a tough time with an addiction, and I tried to reach out and initiate some contact and dinner but learned today that they'd had a seizure and landed in intensive care. One of Jen's friends came by and talked about a few sudden deaths in her circle (healthy people having a heart attack or an aneurysm and just dying, suddenly and with no forewarning. How sad and tragic that is. I'm glad I'm seemingly healthy for now and that I'm more conscious of mortality than before. Lauren went to Aqui with Kathy, but Tommy didn't go.
