April 10th arrived with sporadic rain clouds and passing squalls. A new guy, Buddy by name, Buddy Moore, joined in our walk. He is about our age, a graduate of Roosevelt H.S. We let him stay anyway. Houses along the route seemed upscale, and one small one was for sale: half a mill, which was kinda steep, considering the noise from the rail yards. A nice alleyway, filled with puddles, took us by some strange backyards, old cars and stuff lined the way. An hours' walk put us at Swan Island McDonalds where java and jabber gave us a rest before we backtracked to Overlook Park, where a softball game was in progress.

April 17 we will meet at Peets Coffee, NE Broadway at 15th, 9 a.m. for a stroll through inner southeast.
