Randall's wheelbarrow was filled to the brim with water yesterday. I asked him if it was all snowmelt and rain water and he said it was. This morning I went over there to take its picture and the water was gone, but there was ice on the ground.

I found a backpack tucked behind playground equipment at Eastman Park. LaVona dried the contents which were soaked from several days of rain, found social service and medical papers with enough information to start a search--police, detox, Salvation Army and other homeless shelters. No trace of him so far. We'll continue the search tomorrow when public agencies are open. Here's what's in the backpack:
Top left (from left to right): Soap, perfumed body lotion, tooth paste, tooth brush, 2 razors, pen, crackers, oatmeal bar
Second from top: 3 pairs socks, general assistance medical insurance and social service papers, prescription for high blood pressure, undershirt
Third row from top: Towel, cap, gloves, head band, 3 pants
Bottom: Scarf
He's 48, pants size 30 X 28.

In the waning years of WW II, we were living in Rockville Center, Long Island, I was about 12 and dad was dying of a brain tumor. Mom said NYC was no place for a widow to bring up a child, so she packed us up and we took a train to her childhood home in Detroit Lakes Minnesota. That's where she met and married this widower. He was a clothing salesman and outdoorsman.
