Night Perch Assessment
I moved along the zinc channel to the highest corner bracket overlooking the alley. Night had closed in completely below. Balanced on the narrow metal corner, I found a discarded copper wire tie twisted tight around an old antenna bolt. I gripped the thick wire loop with one gloved hand, planting my boots firm against the galvanized flange to test structural load. Zero flex. The vantage covers both sides of the corridor with absolute clarity. For tonight, this high post is secured.
