Shane Magee's chair

[Alliecat]

In my culture people don’t write things down. My grandmother said their birthdays were recorded by their uncle on the back of his Kuran . They don’t keep family heirlooms or old toys around.

It's hard to imagine a culture that doesn't keep heirlooms or a record of family history; I mean, as a "culture"... lots of individuals in many cultures probably don't. It is sad for those who come later when much information is missing.

Guy With Truck took the chair away Wednesday; it is now back in its spot in the city square. There was a second chair also placed with it, under a couple of trees beside the water. It appears some a.h. must have thought it would be funny to throw it over the fence. (I mean, who does that with a memorial thing?!? Maybe it was too dark and they were too drunk to see the plaque. There are bars in the area.)
Anyway, had a phone call with the girlfriend this afternoon for the background. She will leave it up to the friend who placed the chair, when she returns to Canada, to decide whether to replace the missing slats or leave it with the marks of its journey.
It all sounds like a good Irish lark
I will have to try to make time to go 'visit' it when I go away next.
