This Reminds Me

This weather reminds me of the summer of 2002 when I worked for the City Parks and Recreation department. I was a grounds-keeper seasonal with another seasonal and a grounds-keeper level 2. The three of us took care of 9 city parks. Toward the end of the summer the other seasonal was painting murals all over the city in areas that were usually tagged with graffiti. On rainy days like this in the late summer and early fall B and I would sit inside the office at our main park drinking coffee, reading books, eating doughnuts and smoking. Not much to do in a city park in the rain. I miss that job.
