today's Zork walk Gru on me
I walked again today, a habit I hope I keep, and found some odd things on my trip. I found a caster (wheel) broken free from a wooden cart. It was lying in water. Elsewhere near the discarded wheel was a shovel. It was "unused". Apart from many other scraps of wind-blown trash, I found a yellow golf ball and saw, but did not move, a flower pot, a small basketball, large stones, van with four flat tires +, long oddly-shaped stick, car tire, empty water bottle, ...
While you couldn't, even in Zork, carry the van in your inventory, I am sure that putting all of these things in the right places would have yielded something like a gem that would be worth n points. I didn't meet the Wizard of Froboz or the Red Cloaked Figure, but I did see a mailbox. Oh, I forgot, matchbox with 3 matches. It was getting colder and darker. I didn't want to be eaten by a Gru, so I headed back.
+ Sadly, this was the only vehicle in the lot with a keyed side and four flat tires. It was clearly targeted. The only good news, is that the vandals didn't get every car there.

MR made me laugh
Did I find any Geo Metros, like the one I had once driven, slip through the grate holes into the stormwater/sewer? No, but that was very funny!

dark day
Fort Wayne experienced the death of at least five persons.+ It was a dark day. I hope Fort Wayne never again has such a dark day.
+ it will be argued that the fetus is a person, thereby making it six deaths.

lazy workers yields unmovable covers
Way to go workers! Yeah, that whole process would have taken minutes to pull up the cover and let it sit. Here's to laziness!
