Room without a view

For the last couple years I was lucky enough to have a cubicle with a view – not just a window but a wall of five-foot windows on the fifth floor. In the winter when the trees where bare, we had a sliver of a view of the tops of the downtown skyline. But now the building going up across the street has reached five stories and my view of the skyline is gone. Now I am left with the Channel 4 tower and the BMA Building (now One Park Place), both on Signal Hill. And I almost forgot, a view of lovely “downtown” KCK. Oh well, could be much worse.

Tyler carried a mirror in the holster on the side of his painter’s pants. The mirror wasn’t a compact; it was about eight inches in diameter. He looked in that mirror more than someone who lived in a house of mirrors.
