The Sparrow Community House

so the journey begins!

monday night, a strange car arrived at the albuquerque airport to shuttle me to my new home. veggie oil (which really does make the car smell like french fries) powered us back to trinity house.

tuesday morning we all headed to los alamos nuclear lab for a vigil to remember our japanese friends who suffered through the nagasaki nuclear atrocity on august 9th 1945. los alamos is a strange place. the town’s superficial serenity acts as a well-constructed distraction from the horrors the lab still creates and nurtures. at 20,000 employees, the lab is almost a town unto its self.

wednesday is the first day of service for the week. trinity house provides laundry service, showers, and breakfast for about a dozen folks a day, 4 times a week. the numbers were low today but i got a feel for the rhythm of things and met some regulars.

good times. good times.
