Some temp work at a place illegally rewinding huge transformers with Vietnamese labor and a Soviet guy who wasn't really an engineer. Living on my mother's sofa. My brother more and more clearly brain-damaged and hostile. My mother dying of a blood cancer. When I finally got on with the City of Portland, I found it packed with unhinged managers. The downtown streets were "owned" by Hispanic drug peddlers, even in the daytime. All of it covered up and denied. <br /><br />Sometimes you're just grateful to survive.<br /><br />Prairie MaryMary Strachan Scriverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00538160009129822362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11838465.post-71149154401049640902010-01-20T17:47:57.832-07:002010-01-20T17:47:57.832-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Lance M.
