A social distancing bench for looking at their fake TV. There are two narrow places to sit on either side of the 6 FEET measure.

As I said in my other post, the clay box on Division still had clay in it. I have a baggie of clay and ... no idea what to do with it.

I had a good ramble last night. Salt & Straw is now open until 11. I was their last customer. I didn't expect them to be open, but since they were I got some meyer lemon and blueberry non-dairy frozen desert. I asked for two scoops and got roughly 3x as much as I actually wanted to eat, but I haven't been there since January and got carried away. I carried it for a while until I found a place I could eat it.

That is is ungodly amount of non-dairy frozen desert.

It was a great walk, but a few hiccups. Current events has lead to the homeless being more aggressive and more territorial than usual. Due to camps, the only way down Hawthorne was the middle of the street and I wasn't up for that. I wound up needing to cut through Ladd's Addition to get home. Ladds was pretty. I stopped to rest in the rose gardens, drink some water and listen to the booms from downtown. It's weird to be sitting on a bench, air filled with the scent of roses and hear that in the distance. It's weird how the flash-bangs echo across SE, but I've confirmed via livestreams that is what the booms are.

Speaking of which, Portland graffiti:

I really like that picture of the crocheted flower for some reason.

I walked at least 6.5 miles per google maps. I wandered a bit, so it was likely at least 7.
