PUBLIC OCCURRENCES

All hurricane, all the time. I walked out my door this morning, the condo association president is talking to two older women residents. "Are you evacuating?" After court I went to a restaurant to get pick-up, a lawyer friend of mine was there. "How you doin' Pat?" "Ugh. Just watching this thing trying to decide what to do." It's the only thing on people's minds, the only thing we talk about, and it's going to be that way for a full week. All hurricane, all the time: tedious, numbing, draining.
