no matter. i don't care about wasting time anymore.
so, i did ride my bike twice this weekend on the trail, etc. the first day i encountered:
- three dead birds
- a pile of diarrhea of unknown origin alongside the funeral home
- tons of broken glass
- a dead bunny (mummified)
- several dozen walkers
- sun sparkling on the water
- the water rushing in a lovely way
i only rode a mile and a half in the park as s pointed out that it would be wet and therefore slippery (i know he worries, but he's always a party pooper.) so i did the quick mile and a half run that ends up at The Oldest Bridge in the United States of America (i'm not kidding, click the link) and then went up a one-way street along Yet More Property Owned By the Mighty Roman Catholic Church, which was a major hill in itself and i got so sweaty i practically had to wring out my clothes. altogether it was probably 10 miles, i usually do 12 or 15 but there's only so far you can go without having to cross the Giant Street with the Two Worst Intersections in the Nation.
if you don't stay in the park, that is.
that was saturday. sunday i did an hour, the same mile and a half, etc., later in the day; this time i encountered:
- eighty two little unleashed dogs
- their meandering, cooler-hoisting handlers
- various fisherman
- people swimming under the "NO SWIMMING" signs in the creek
- tons of other leisure bikers
- a dead bird
- a crazy squirrel
- little babies toddling along precariously
- several pointy wooden knobs that damn near popped my tires
- sun sparkling on the water
tonight i took a walk with p. we went to kmart. i got a shirt. she got some coconut marshmallows. apparently they're a seasonal item. interestingly, i've only ever found them at kmart.

Rose darling I encounter all of those things on a daily basis and that's only walking from my front door to the bus stop. I can deal with all of them except the sunlight, it's too brite and I don't trust it.
I'm curious about the wooden knobs that almost popped your tires. Tell it.
mags - hahahahaha! somehow i knew you'd understand.
kenju - they were little bits of tree, but random. i don't know if they came down in the rain? but they were all knobby and strangely, the same size!
