On the death of one man

Bob Shimeld

I met Bob Shimeld only once, several years ago, on a bus. We chatted for all of 15 minutes, if that, but the conversation stuck with me. I never forgot him.

It was a summer morning in Longview, Texas, and the bus picked up Shimeld in front of a Walmart store on the north side. Boarding took longer than usual because the driver had to get up and help Shimeld with his electric wheelchair. The back of his chair, I noticed, had been decorated with a Massachusetts novelty license plate that read B-O-B, for Bob.

Shimeld said he moved from the Northeast about five years earlier to escape the winters in his home state. “If you stay still too long, your wheelchair will freeze to the ground,” he joked. “No snow tires for a wheelchair.”

He claimed to have thrown a dart at a map of Texas. The dart hit Longview, so that’s where he went. He liked the place. The people were friendly. He was a 72-year-old military veteran who described his days as “a lot of sitting around,” which was easy enough to do in a wheelchair.

I got off the bus a few stops after Shimeld boarded, and I never saw him again. After that day, I also never got back on the bus. When I am in East Texas and need to make a grocery run, or want to go to a restaurant or anywhere else, I hop in my Jeep or ride with someone else. Our cities are built for getting around with a car. My only reason for riding the bus on that day was to visit with the passengers of Longview Transit for a story that appeared in the newspaper.

The passengers I met included elderly retirees who could no longer drive safely. Other passengers worked the kinds of low-paying jobs that help keep the rest of our lives running smoothly: a grocery store cashier, for example, and a hairdresser with epilepsy. One man named John Solomon had just finished his shift scrubbing dishes at one of my favorite Mexican restaurants. His hands, wrists and forearms were peeling badly from the soapy water, but he hadn’t noticed. He was traveling home to spend the evening with his young son and daughter.

Most of the people I met that day were dealing with less-than-ideal circumstances, but they were upbeat and optimistic about their futures. They had jobs and homes, and they talked about their determination to better their lives. They seemed to make Longview a richer place. Somehow they managed to do it all without a vehicle, a complication that most of us would never consider.

That was in 2009. Shimeld died on Dec. 16. I read about his death in the newspaper. He was trying to cross McCann Road near a busy intersection not far from K-Mart when a pickup turned onto the road and struck him.

The News-Journal reported that Shimeld was the sixth pedestrian killed in the city in 2014. That’s three times the average death rate for pedestrians in Texas, the paper also reported. A subsequent editorial described the “grim realities of the danger while walking” and noted that municipal officials are aware of the problem and are planning to address it in the city’s next comprehensive plan. Well, good.

Where Shimeld died, the intersection does not have a crosswalk. Lots of the city’s intersections don’t, because so few people need them. But some do. People like Shimeld. I’ll try not to forget that.

  1. Another sweltering night here, the kind where the air itself feels like it’s
    weighing you down. I found myself logged into sportsbook again. It’s usually my evening
    ritual when the heat finally backs off a little.

    Honestly, lately, the wins have been few and far between.
    My balance is looking dangerously low, and I’m starting to sweat more about the wife finding out than the actual
    games. She’s been giving me that look, you know?

    My so-called ‘friend” – the one who’s always lurking around, practically
    shadowing me – he’s always on here too.
    And the infuriating thing? He’s constantly winning big.

    Slots like slot_game_1 and slot_game_2, even that
    crazy aviator_game where the plane leaves you
    empty-handed. He even brags about his wins on slot_game_3 and slot_game_4.

    It’s like this place is has a soft spot for him. Makes you wonder, doesn’t it?
    Especially with the way he looks at my wife when she’s not looking.
    Makes a man paranoid, this heat does.

    Despite all that, and maybe it’s just foolish hope, I still find myself drawn to favorite_slot_game.
    There’s something about those sugary treats that keeps me clicking,
    even when the numbers aren’t falling my way.

    Maybe tonight will be different. Maybe the gaming spirits will finally throw me
    a bone. Or maybe my wife will just throw me out.
    Either way, here I am, spinning again at casino.

    Pros:
    Available 24/7 (perfect for my late-night sessions)
    Wide variety of games (even if some seem to favor certain people)
    They do have favorite_slot_game, which I genuinely enjoy

    Cons:
    My personal luck here has been incredibly bad
    Seeing him win constantly is maddening
    Starting to seriously impact my finances at home and relationships

    Overall: Divided. It’s a handy option to pass the long, heated hours,
    but my recent experiences and observations are making
    me seriously question if it’s worth the risk. Especially
    with everything else going on.

  2. Another sweltering night here, the kind where the
    air itself feels like it’s placing bets against you. I found myself logged into sportsbook again. It’s usually my after-dark
    refuge when the heat finally subsides.

    Honestly, lately, the wins have been few and far between. My balance is looking precariously small,
    and I’m starting to sweat more about the wife
    finding out than the actual games. She’s been giving
    me that look, you know?

    My so-called ‘friend” – the one who’s always lurking around, practically shadowing me – he’s always on here too.
    And the infuriating thing? He’s constantly on a lucky streak.

    Slots like slot_game_1 and slot_game_2, even that crazy aviator_game where the plane flies off with all your
    hopes. He even brags about his wins on slot_game_3 and slot_game_4.

    Honestly, lately, the wins have been few and far between. My balance
    is looking precariously small, and I’m starting to sweat more about the wife finding out than the actual
    games. She’s been giving me that look, you know?

    My so-called ‘mate’ – the one who’s always hanging about, practically
    looking over my shoulder – he’s always on here
    too. And the infuriating thing? He’s constantly winning big.
    Slots like slot_game_1 and slot_game_2, even that
    crazy aviator_game where the plane flies off with all
    your hopes. He even brags about his wins on slot_game_3 and
    slot_game_4.

    It’s like this place is playing favorites. Makes you
    wonder, doesn’t it? Especially with the way he looks at my wife when she’s not looking.
    Makes a man suspicious, this heat does.

    Despite all that, and maybe it’s just foolish hope, I still find myself drawn to favorite_slot_game.
    There’s something about those sweet symbols that keeps me clicking, even when the numbers aren’t falling my
    way.

    Maybe tonight will be different. Maybe the gaming spirits will finally throw me a bone.

    Or maybe my wife will just throw me out. Either way,
    here I am, spinning again at casino.

    Pros:
    Available 24/7 (perfect for my late-night sessions)
    Wide variety of games (even if some seem to favor certain people)
    They do have favorite_slot_game, which I genuinely enjoy

    Cons:
    My personal luck here has been incredibly bad
    Seeing him win constantly is maddening
    Starting to seriously impact my real-life budget and relationships

    Overall: Torn. It’s a convenient way to pass the long, heated hours, but
    my recent experiences and observations are making me seriously question if it’s worth the risk.
    Especially with everything else going on.

  22. Another blistering night here, the kind where the air itself feels like it’s weighing you down. I found
    myself logged into casino again. It’s usually my evening
    ritual when the heat finally subsides.

    Honestly, lately, the wins have been like finding
    water in the desert. My balance is looking thinner than my patience, and I’m starting
    to sweat more about the wife finding out than the actual games.

    She’s been giving me that look, you know?

    My so-called ‘friend” – the one who’s always hanging
    about, practically shadowing me – he’s always on here too.
    And the infuriating thing? He’s constantly hitting it big.
    Slots like slot_game_1 and slot_game_2, even that crazy aviator_game where the plane flies off with all
    your hopes. He even brags about his wins on slot_game_3 and slot_game_4.

    It’s like this place is has a soft spot for him. Makes
    you wonder, doesn’t it? Especially with the way he looks at my wife when she’s not looking.
    Makes a man uneasy, this heat does.

    Despite all that, and maybe it’s just addiction, I still find myself drawn to

    Honestly, lately, the wins have been rarer than a cool breeze in the daytime.
    My balance is looking dangerously low, and I’m starting to sweat more about the wife finding out
    than the actual games. She’s been giving me that look, you know?

    My so-called ‘buddy’ – the one who’s always hanging about,
    practically looking over my shoulder – he’s always on here too.
    And the infuriating thing? He’s constantly winning big.
    Slots like slot_game_1 and slot_game_2, even that crazy aviator_game where the plane flies off with all your hopes.
    He even brags about his wins on slot_game_3 and slot_game_4.

    It’s like this place is playing favorites. Makes you wonder, doesn’t it?
    Especially with the way he looks at my wife when she’s not looking.
    Makes a man uneasy, this heat does.

    Despite all that, and maybe it’s just foolish hope, I still find
    myself drawn to favorite_slot_game. There’s something about those sugary treats
    that keeps me clicking, even when the numbers aren’t falling my way.

    Maybe tonight will be different. Maybe the desert gods
    will finally throw me a bone. Or maybe my wife will
    just throw me out. Either way, here I am, spinning again at sportsbook.

    Pros:
    Available 24/7 (perfect for my late-night sessions)
    Wide variety of games (even if some seem to favor certain people)
    They do have favorite_slot_game, which I genuinely enjoy

    Cons:
    My personal luck here has been incredibly bad
    Seeing him win constantly is maddening
    Starting to seriously impact my finances at home and relationships

    Overall: Divided. It’s a convenient way to pass the
    sweltering nights, but my recent experiences and
    observations are making me seriously question if it’s worth the risk.
    Especially with everything else going on.
