the spill

the jock's horse
the 7 horse
clipped the heels
of the horse
in front of
him

stumbled and
fell
throwing the
jock
over its
head
and onto the
track before
some
oncoming
horses

most of
which
avoided the
jock's
still
form

except for
the 9
horse
who gave him
one step
in the middle
of his
back

you could
see
the hoof
dig
in

then the
field was
past
and the
ambulance was
on its
way

the jock wore
Kelly green
silks,
black
sleeves.

3 or 4
people were now
gathered around
the
still
jock.
as the ambulance
moved in

the man behind
me
said to his
companion
"let's go get'
a
beer."

Five Points Cat chews catnip chaise, wigs out







The two girls hang out
KD on her 'Close -to-Mom' catnip chaise-lounge
which she chews on.  It is catnip-laced
and when she consumes the cardboardy material
  she has paroxysms.

OTHER DOWNTOWN SHOTS

Amidst the rain
a downtown peace dove
coming out of mourning

digital camera focuses clearly on the rain drops
part of the downtown syndrome



The sun goes down





Downtown sky change eve following heavy rain
sun sets gloriously



Downtown tree trimmer hums
"While my saw gently plays..."




Holes dug here
Cheap (not)
  



A tree grows in Brooklyn (Waukesha)



Metropolitan bike rack outside Dady-Oh's




Sleepy (no), Grumpy (no), Sneezy (no), BASHFUL 
(Chef Krueger, Dady-Oh's)

Final note to my soon to be reunionized
classmates from Waukesha High
class of 1954:

A group of men, all in their 70s took it upon themselves
to rebuild a WW II PT boat.





This rebuild feat puts the lie to those who would have septuagenarians put to calm and small use, a-sea.
