I had a strong hunch that if I took time and looked analytically then a response strategy would emerge in the midst of chaos and stress. Heavy dock construction continues on the creek. I focused on a “go dark” strategy with regard to the ways I am monitored. Buy time, protect myself, and rebuild a life elsewhere.

On this day the Trump announced a sweep of undocumented residents, I thought about the past false accusations that I harbored Mexicans here at Terrapin Station. Wild asparagus. Maybe tomorrow I will plant some seeds to test new culture areas. Morning Glory on a dead stalk growing in front of my abin. A beer at sundown. The dogs love swimming. We walk twice on most days. Thanks to Amber for awesome signs. Diamondback terrapins everywhere.
