Today is the Democrat Congressional Primary. As I was entering my local polling place, a robust black elderly man who lives several blocks from me was leaving. He smiled broadly and greeted me as he often does.
I saw him again standing in his drive, on my way home. He told me that he was glad to see me voting. "Anything to keep that Trump out of there. He'll send us all back where we came from, and I ain't about to live in Florida again" he added.
We laughed and laughed.

911 Operator: 911, how may I direct your call?
Me: Yes, I was just walking up Adams St. and at the corner of Adams and Irving at the hospital parking garage, Adams Street side is a man lying next to the building. He looks to perhaps be homeless, isn't wearing shoes, and there appears to be a large quantity of blood near his mouth...
911 Operator: What color is he?
Me: Black, maybe.
911 Operator: What was he wearing?
Me: I am not sure.
911 Operator: *Inaudible
Me: I didn't understand you.
911 Operator: Was he breathing?
Me: He appeared to move slightly
911 Operator: Okay we'll have someone check on it.
Me: Thank you.
*There was a garage employee walking in front of me who ignored the man, and sat at the garage exit forty feet from the man.
*There are three hospitals and the university in this immediate area; all of whom have mobile security. In addition, it was lunch time and I imagine many others must have walked or driven by.
What is wrong with us?
