End of Summer. Atonal kind of day. Chilly following a blast of summer. Lots of people without places to stay, wondering what will happen when the weather turns frosty. But, for today, and the last couple of days, just find a place to crash and try to relax.

Eric didn’t look like he would make it. But he has resolve. Won’t let anyone help him. It’s there when he wants it, but he doesn’t know he needs it. Not sure it will make any difference or that he will survive.

Probably want a Ben and Jerry’s, but they weren’t open.

Battery Park offers a view of the Lake and the sky. A favorite spot for Rudyard Kipling when he lived in VT.

Find a bench on the Battery. Protect your things and your skin.

Asleep in mid thought. Had a place to sleep. Dozed in public.

Near a bathroom facing the Lake. First time I felt threatened. Dogs running free. One kid said, “…, retard …, I love fucking up old men.” Not very Burlington of him, eh. I got scared and left.
