A Poignent Update - Dane Williams - Why?

Picture taken 25 January 2009

The first entry on this blog included mention of a makeshift shrine to the memory of Dane Williams. The above picture shows an appeal for information about about his death. It was taken right across the street from where the shrine was located. It is a year since his death. It is obvious that his love one's still want an answer. Some questions are haunting. What happened to Dane Williams, why him? But, in the end what does it matter. We all hang onto life by such a delicate string. He could have just as easily been hit by a drunk driver. Life is fragile. While I do hope that answers are found. I also hope that those who love Williams can let the mystery go and celebrate the years of his life whether than be tortured by the mystery of his last day's.

Brown Shoes

Pictures Taken 12 January 2009

The homeless are almost by definition travelers and as such warrant the courtesy of the Gods. And, as travelers they run through a lot of shoes. Therefore, it is fitting that shoes are a common gift to the gods at San Diego Altars. These particular shoes where left here, at the corner of 3rd and Island. There is a gentleman who sleeps behind this particular at&t utility box. These shoes may have been left for him in particular as they were there before he woke up. Maybe, they were not his size.
