Spring turmoil and hedge woes in a city paper office
The writer describes spring disruptions as a building near The Star dissolves under contractor work, and Hope Transfer clears the shop. He notes brick dust, top-floor removal, and a looming crisis as crews near taking off the entire roof.

He recalls fishing weather, a Narrows trip, and plans to escape to blue water and distant hills for a day.
