Meant to post this last night but fell into a black slumber e’en as I reached for keyboard.

What was formerly the Capitol Hill reservoir is about to become Cal Anderson Park. A late night stroll revealed a suspiciously climbable – but still dry – fountain.

A field of cobblestones will accept the outbound flow from the fountain’s hill.

The sluice toward the cobblestones includes some interesting details, including this dark and mysterious entrance to what must be considered a sort of barrow.

The fountain’s cobblestone-clad hill is too easy to climb, but, I must say, deceptively difficult to descend.

Especially if one has consumed one or two products of the brewer’s art.

This is my pal Tenuki, who has been helping me to do some writing this weekend. He is bossy, but very affectionate. His family comes home late tonight and there will be a touching reunion scene. He’s been mostly good, but he did let me know I had to scoop his necessaries by peeing on the bathmat. I washed it and scooped and now everything is hunky-dory.

This morning we put another bid in on a house. This one is looking pretty promising. We should know by tomorrow morning.
