You want some blow?
A couple of 12-year-olds offered to sell me cocaine a couple of weeks ago while Val and I were in Washington D.C., and I am having trouble getting it out of my head.
Val and I had been to the National Arboretum, on the east side of D.C., just south of New York Ave., and we got a little lost on our way back to our U Street lodgings. We wound our way through some neighborhoods that reminded me a lot of Detroit's. Old houses, not bad, kept as well as they could be, but in need of some work. A beautiful cemetery named Mt. Olivet. Industrial buildings that were still in use, but looked like they could use some work, too.
After about 10 minutes of driving around, we finally righted ourselves and pulled up to two kids standing next to a stop light where we waited to turn and head back toward downtown.
"Hey!" one yelled. "Hey!" I didn't think they were talking to me, but I turned to look. "Hey! You want some blow?"
