Weather: Mid 60’s with sun
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.
