Day 27

Day 27

I thought I'd finish today but I give up around five in the afternon. I will be done if four hours tomorrow. Everyone seems extra suspicious of me today, like their White Person Sense is tingling. Two women and a rottweiler, sitting on the porch, smiling and asking me what's up—they seem friendly but you can sense a weird dislike for me behind their eyes. “We called the neighborhood watch,” they tell me, “just being careful.” Later I see a rat skeleton on a fresh green lawn. When I got to the end of the street, the last house of the day, the lady was super-nice, offering me soda or water. A nice break from the women with the rottweiler. Will be done tomorrow.
