He had been the family "rock" until he began suffering from dementia two years ago. Interesting that this thread was posted on Friday. Somber indeed, he was a wonderful guy; he was the only person I ever met who personally saw the aftermath of a nuked city (Hiroshima) after the bombing and could describe it from a first person point of view. He was a young US serviceman then.

More seriousness in my little world, our neighborhood is fighting against a proposal by a developer to build a tall apartment and parking garage that is completely out of character with the entire area, and will literally block the sunlight from many of our neighbors. We had a neighborhood meeting with the Mayor about it last night. (The Mayor is a cool guy and instructed our representatives about how to bring this to the planning commission, so there is hope).

Interesting, but not surprising, what I found in this thread, considering what's up.
