Oakland outtakes 04.10
Too tired to remember whatever it was I thought to post about today, as though it matters. It's been another long day. The apartment is finally emptied and done. It's really strange dismantling another person's life. We paid a guy to haul almost everything away, including nearly 30 bags of clothing that had been stuffed, jammed, crammed, packed, pressed, shoved, squeezed, forced, mashed, squished, squashed and rammed into the tiny closets and dresser set.
We asked him to take the clothes to a thrift store but they probably went directly to the dump. We'll never know. We'll never even see him again.
Charlita the Cat likes the new digs. She has a morning and afternoon sunbeam.
No one seems to care that the chair is too close to the fire.
Lunch at the Royale.I think I'd rather die but what the hell? It's not an either/or situation.
Rainy day Oakland
We had lunch at the Golden Lotus yesterday. It's a vegetarian restaurant in Oakland located across the street from the Oakland Tribune. Delicious. I highly recommend it. Currently, we are waiting for the guy with the truck. All the stuff in the apartment is bagged and tagged and ready to go.

Transitions
I'm in Concord tonight helping with a quasi-emergency kind of thing, nothing too serious (probably) but urgent. We have the weekend to close out the apartment of an incapacitated family member. I have to say, it puts things in a very peculiar light.
Anyway, here are a few photos from last week in Tonopah.
Karaoke goodness is pretty rich but if you're up for more, I posted the second video here.

Off to Tonganoxie
Chief Tonganoxie
When Kockatowha died as Chief of the Turkey Band in 1861, the Commissioner of Indian Affairs refused to recognize Tonganoxie as the chosen successor. Not to worry. Tonganoxie won. He has a city
in Kansas named after him. I'm sure that's more than the racist commissioner got for his trouble. Not only that, Tonganoxie's old lodge/tavern still stands. Of course, at this point it's a ghost bar but is more popular than ever now that the drinks are free.
