I took the Milwaukee Trail to explore the wild areas along the river across from downtown.
Nostalgia on my part No, sorrow.
While our skyline grows, these areas decay. Theres neglect, restrictive fencing popping up, & expanding homeless encampments.

On my walk yesterday in the rain, I solved a problem in a key chapter & came up with a handful of blogging ideas.
Ill draft one of those today.
The edit is 64% done. This was drafted 8-years ago with some light editing since. Its kinda rough. But not when Im done.
