It looks homey, doesn't it. This wall faces a park, and a neighbor. It's right neighborly.
How,why when and where of , buildings that honor our existence and those that facilitate the industry of helplessness. Of place and of nowhere? Buildings are telling the naked story of brutal exceptionalism.

I'm watching out for you
I eye skyin sky for IDP
I was walking to my car, parked a fair distance away, when I came up next to a person who works here. I tried to get them to cross the street against the light. They refused to do it. Said they would get reprimanded if someone saw them on the security cams.
This is what surveillance society is all about. Not that it is necesarily a bad thing to protect people from themselves. This is how small towns work, where people who you know and know you are likely to be watching. This is a controlling aspect of humanity.
It can be a good thing. But, I felt a little strange about this. There was no-one coming on either street, no-one around. There was no harm in crossing.
But, the person waiting felt compelled to behave. I still can't decide if that matters.
