We'll Keep Soldiering On

Chipmunk/squirrel chased me yesterday for food. Beautiful beach trail, with a peaceful forest and the ocean view. People are still as friendly as ever - a casual "hi" or "good morning". Small-town atmosphere. Nostalagic atmosphere in the school - though the enormity of the place is scary. No sense of coziness or community.

Hacking cough has gotten worse, and it's not a good sign. Another sunny day in the big city.
