Observations/Thoughts

  • I like to walk clockwise.  With all of the construction, this has been difficult to do in a satisfactory way.  Today, I was grateful for the fragments of my original walk I was able to assemble.  Besides the noted blocked sidewalk and closed sidewalk that wraps around the park, the alternate path (that happened to be a road)  had some additional construction challenges.  Somebody had AT&T in front of their house with 2 vehicles parked on the street taking up one lane.  The road travel was also hampered as a construction crew was burrowing around with equipment.  As a walker, it was just another hazard.  The distance between the road and the fence (donkeys and Longhorns were on the other side of the fence) gave me a few yards to play with as the equipment infringed on my space.
  • This walk was really not very exciting today.  No golfer or friendly walkers.  Do I even need to mention how un-friendly most bicyclists are?  Was I to walk with headphones on, I might not look around and see things others had dropped.   Today, I think someone was studying for some sort of math test.  I would assume they were walking while they were studying, but they may have been in the back of a pickup when the wind wanted the study card more than they did.  Their note was on a washed out green 3′ x 5′ notecard.  The answer was “additive inverse” the other side had,  “the opposite of a number, a + (-a) = 0 “.  My wife was a math major.  She can’t remember what field of math this is in.  Hopefully, the person who lost their card realized it and didn’t miss it on the test.

I was disappointed there was not more to see or experience today.  I can just control being physically present.  The randomness of others peoples lives will not always be there when I am ready to view it.
