Comments: Easy day today. Wore sunglasses, but forgot my sunblock. Beautiful, warm afternoon. I felt tired today. I was struck again today by how some people do not seem to enjoy the exercise and community, and some people do. A girl on a bicycle that I found attractive smiled and said hi to me today, and I wished I had a bicycle. ;) A mother and her young son were biking, and the son kept finding side trails along the path to explore. I passed the mother and said, "He disappeared." :) She laughed and replied, "Yes, I don't know where he's going to come out." :) Many people seem to choose the American River Parkway for holiday recreation. I picked up a can of Coors beer on my return across the bridge, and laughed at how silly I must look, a jogger with a can of beer. :) Saw a guy with a beard like Jerry Garcia's in the parking lot, and thought to myself how neat it looked. I frequently see a man as I park with a purple covering over his large amount of hair. He sometimes is there with his female companion, and they have a yellow symbol on the back of their pick-up which I do not recognize. They seem very non-mainstream.
