(Window grate for basement, near 10th and Walnut)
I didn't get to Dodson Park again today. At 7 am the phone rang. It was Sharon. Why didn't you remind me that we had a hair appointment today? Cause I didn't know. I open my planner and there you go. I was ready early because I was going to do the winter bedding at the laundromat and then head to the park.
Instead I walked in downtown Allentown. Sharon gets her hair cut first so I have a half-hour/45-minutes to wait. I took a mask in case I encountered people, then I put it on. I can't tell if you are vaccinated or not. I'm not taking chances.
It was a simple route. I started at 10th and Walnut and headed west toward 15th street.
Then I walked up to Linden, and came back to 9th . Near the exit to the Spiral Parking Deck (Hess's) I first saw a portion of this mural. Right before it I encountered a group of pro-lifers, complete with dead fetus posters. They were younger than the average crowd. As I approached I slipped on my mask. As I past the lady wanted to give me propaganda. They were all yelling about saving dead babies. BUT THEY DIDN"T HAVE MASKS ON. The irony wasn't wasted on me. (It probably was on them). Apparently the only lives they are pro-life about are fetuses, not their fellow citizens. I didn't engage in conversation because you know I would have asked them questions they don't want to hear.
I saw a lot of people out and about. It's odd because it was hotter than hades out there and there was little shade. I returned to the salon via 9th and headed west on Walnut. They were waiting for me when I got back.
