T and I went for a walk at Candlestick park it is a nice quiet park for the most part, and most importantly it is flat. It is one of those rare sunny days, but I only encountered three walkers and one dog even though the parking lot was 1/2 full. Probably out fishing - took T out that way (to the piers) once and she grab a fish (from some old man's bucket)- I made her drop it, but I wasn't going to pick it up. I didn't stick around to hear what the guy said - glad I don't speak Chinese.
Anyway every time we walk the park T gets very excited thinking she will get lucky twice. She probably would if I left her off leash, but I am a quick study. T got a squirrel or whatever those ground rodents are. She wasn't even trying for it, she was walking along off leash minding her own business and this stupid squirrel ran right under her feet. Can you imagine her delight!! Not a thing to do but step down and it is caught. Me - all I can think is that dirty diseased rodent and in it is in her mouth and her mouth touches me quite a bit - oh help I think I am going to die. So I am sitting their squealing like a pig, T is shaking with excitement and the squirrel is having a heart attack. I ran away left T there to do as she pleased, but being the insecure dog she is she dropped the squirrel and ran after me afraid I was going to leave her behind.
Today the sidewalks were covered with those pests. They have no fear, and even T got tired of them. I am going to bring in a couple of coyotes and let them take care of it. Even the hares are fearless.
Anyway I digress, today I am starting though I started Sunday. I already know what I am in for, and trying to find the easiest way to handle it. Usually for me it is the journey that I enjoy, but this time I think that I am looking forward to the destination just as much. I know over the years people have watched while I have tried to make this journey, in the beginning they were saying "oh that is not so bad, you don't have far to go". Now people are saying you have way to far to go - it just isn't possible. I have been hearing that for the last 10 years. Once you get to a certain point you can't ever go back. Is that like you can't go home again? I am all about beating the odds. It is what I do.
This is a great beginning and I can't wait to follow the journey that I know you are going to beat. Please keep me up on T&T's big adventure.
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm not saying you have too far to go. And I'm looking forward to taking the journey with you. It will be wonderful to watch as a new world unfolds before you, little by little. The blog will be fun, too. You'll see.
