I am thrilled by the news that the restored twins, Sinai and Olivet have been unmothballed and re-installed on their Angels Flight tracks (clickably thumbnailed below in a photo I took in the summer of 2007) to once more (at a date as yet to be determined) go up and down Bunker Hill. I paid …

To The Busman At Philippe’s Who Found My Wallet That I Left In The Booth We Sat In For Breakfast And Instead Of Keeping It Turned It In To The Lady At The Register By The Front Door Who Had It Waiting For Us When We Returned After Driving All The Way Back Home And Realizing I’d Forgotten It:

For the fifth October 31st in a row Susan and I have carved pumpkins and done up the front yard and the only place we’ll be going is out on the front porch in hopes of trick-or-treaters to come get some candy and enjoy our decorations.
