Adventures In The Park

And other misadventure previously omitted...

I have seen too many sci-fi movies (thanks Dad!)...

Me: I think there's aliens...
Collin: Why?
Me: 'Cause the dogs won't stop barking.
Collin: Okay...
Me: It's a sure fire sign of cyborgs and aliens. (***after thought: not an indicator of zombies, zombies would eat the dogs one by one....)

Yesterday I went to the park bright and early to walk a couple miles. While I was driving through the park to the parking lot I like I saw a dude jogging/running (this shouldn't be big news considering that's what most people do at the park...). What made this instance particular and different was how the dude was running... This may sound weird but it looked like he was moving in fast forward... And it disturbed me slightly. Your guess is as good as mine.

Today when I went to the park for my walk I got a little startled. I was just past the halfway point, focused on finishing so I could go home and pee (no way will I use the port-a-potties at a city park) when something popped out of the bushes and onto the path in front of me. At first my brain was a wee bit slow to catch on and I thought it was just a dog, then the gears kicked in. It was a freakin' coyote. They have signs warning that there had been some sightings but I never gave it much thought since coyotes are typically skittish creatures. I think I startled it as much as it startled me. (I almost peed my pants... Remember I really needed to pee though.) I managed to get to my cell and snap a couple of shitty pics of it. They are on MySpace.

There are also new pictures of me and of the flowerbed before and after on MySpace.

Now I am going to veg out for the rest of the day... Today is my day to do nothing (even though by typing this I am doing something... And going to the park equated to "doing something"... Basically I only have to do what I want, no errands or cleaning or laundry.)

Yay me!
