Living on a Symbol
When we got back from our trip to Boston, we found a letter from the power company advising us that if our landlord doesn't pay the bills PDQ, we'll be without power in the common areas. Presumably that includes elevators, so while we're well-supplied with flashlights, it was a somewhat alarming notice.On top of that, our street is being dug up for whatever reason they dig up streets. I can't say for sure, but there are certainly pipes involved. Nothing unusual about it, I suppose - but when one's address is Wall Street, there is some irony to all this upheaval outside our door. Yes, Western finance is being torn apart and we common folks are being side-swiped in the process. But it sure looks like our address is not content with mere metaphor.
