Observations/Thoughts

• Animal Sighting:  There really was not much to see today.  When that happens, I have to gather what contributions I can.  Today, I saw cows trying to warm themselves.  They were on the west side of the barn.  I was paying close attention, but that would lead me to believe they were avoiding wind from the east.  Three of them were able to shelter; three were not.  I am guessing there is some sort of bovine hierarchy.  They didn’t look like they were sharing.
• Jogger and the glut:  Along the whole walk I saw only one jogger…until I got to the very end.  While on the home stretch, I saw everyone else.  I saw a dog walker.  A couple was doing their walk together.  And, my gold buddies weren’t golfing today.  They didn’t have their clubs.  it was good I didn’t “loan” them the golf balls.  They were theirs to lose.
• Tree tags: I have noticed the one yard right off the sidewalk.  Their trees along the path have lots of tags.  The leaves are still on many of the trees; they are oaks.  I found where I can buy the tags on Amazon.  No comfort I found a reason for the other tags.  I thought it maybe meant they were “special”.  It is likely the residents are just trying to keep track of them.  Two trees in very close proximity were over 100 numbers apart.  Maybe they just like playing games with people walking by their property.
