Observations/Thoughts

• Traffic cop II:  Today’s walk was similar to yesterdays.  I reversed my modified walk.  The walk ended up feeling more like my old walk–the views were the same and I was on the same side of the road.  The darn construction!!  As I came to the source of my contempt, 2 surprised bicyclists came up behind me.  They were rather dismayed by the closed path.  I tried to reassure them how they could “find” their path from there.  Another bicyclist came along as I was explaining.  I believe he led them along to where my abbreviated directions tried to get them.  As I went East and they went West, I didn’t know if our paths with cross again.  Our paths did not truly cross.  They crossed the street at the light a couple of minutes ahead of me.  They either got briefly lost or they rode slowly.  Alternatively, I may just walk fast…
• The fence is down:  While I honored the orange safety fence today, some other(s) did not.  During my walk, I saw an older woman walking very resolutely along a path that easily could have made her the guilty party.  For her sake, I hope the older gentlemen was taking a nap today and incapable of giving her the double evil eye.  Given her stride, I don’t think she would have paused for anyone.
• Free-range grubs: The armadillo has been quite active lately.  Today, he was searching the grass again attempting to find the grubs with just the right flavor.  Never having eaten any grubs, I don’t know what makes for a more satisfying grub.  If eating them outside of the drip zone of a tree makes them tastier to the average armadillo, then may he dine well…just maybe more often at night where he won’t scare the children or startle the adults.
