Chet Childress #12.



Ludacrooks all up in the air at either a DIY spot or an unfinished park. It might even be an unfinished DIY spot. I dug the random enthusiasm that Chet brought to skateboarding. I wonder what he's doing these days. One would assume he is still skating, making art, riding bikes, and whatever else he's been doing all along.

We had a decent blast of summer for the weekend before we plunge into early sunsets* for a month. I set up a new board and skated a bunch. I was on the tired side so everything was a chore. I more or less understand the reasoning behind the clock change, but it seems like it would be better to put it off for two weeks or only turn the clocks back 30 minutes instead of an hour. November weather is generally good so we're wasting quality outdoor time because the man says so. Time isn't real anyway.

* Sunsets begin to get later again in very small increments starting on December 10th. Sunrises don't get earlier until January 5th. Times may vary upon location.
