Sophie and I went to brunch on Sunday at a restaurant that is located along Lawrence's "Church Row." This area is really like the church district; any flavor of religion you could possibly want*.
As we walked past one of these churches, we saw these 3 old ladies just lounging against the retaining wall of the wheelchair access ramp, watching the traffic go by. They had that gangster nonchalance, but it might have just been that they were tired. Sophie remembered details of their outfits but I only remember thinking of the three vultures in the Jungle Book.
BERTHA Hey Gertie, so what we were going to do?
GERTIE I don't know, what'cha wanna do?
BERTHA Look Gertrude, first I say "what were going to do?" then you say "I don't know, what'cha wanna do?" then I say "what we're going to do" then you say what'cha wanna do" let's do something.
GERTIE Ok. What'cha wanna do?
In this drawing, I wonder what they're talking about? Any ideas?

I agree with the judge's assertion that this information should be available in theis format for every city as a public service. It'd be really cool if they were able to bring the records back even further. I'd love to know the real story of what happened to my former landlady's late husband.
