Baller in the Morning, Hooping in the Court off Kosciusko Street

Bright and early, as seen through the screenish, fence-like thing between the boarded walls of the platform above street level, a lone grizzled old dude works on his shot at the basketball courts near the Kosciusko J stop. 

The Kosciusko and Gates J stops are just about the same distance from my apartment. I alternate the first stage, the walking part, of my morning commute between the two stops, for the modicum of variety it provides in the morning.
