Today I wandered further away from home, hoping to find something different. I came across this metal siding painted in white. There were business phone numbers and messages on it, which now have been painted over. It’s almost as if they were being silenced, whatever the information or message used to be there.
I had a hard time coming up with the title for today’s choice of image. I try not to be presumptuous or pre-judgmental about what I saw at a nearby park this morning. It appeared to me that the caregiver was video chatting cheerfully with someone on her phone while the old woman whom she was supposed to take care of was left alone sitting in a wheelchair under the sun.
It’s very possible the caregiver was having a break while the old woman was getting her beneficial sun exposure. However, I couldn’t help but wondering what if the sun was too hot and the old woman couldn’t voice her discomfort? How long would it take till the caregiver pay attention and notice it?
The reality is that for many people it is a job that makes a living. But would it make a difference if they were caring for their own family?
Yet another high rise residential building in the neighborhood. Once the tallest building in the area, three decades later we are now basically the oldest and almost the shortest apartment building around here.
Random snapshot of the neighborhood this evening. I’m attracted by the colors, not by the business depicted. I never understand the allure of betel nuts. It’s the same with cigarettes. I’ve never tried them and have no intention to, ever.
