Comments: Ran past the 14-mile marker and heard the Bob Dylan's "The Times They Are A-Changin'" from his 1964 album of the same name on Columbia Records. Before I got to the 14-mile marker, along the fence, I stopped and said hello to two black-tailed deer sitting in the shade, three feet away. They seemed caught between fight and flight, and we watched each other, then I went on my way. Approaching the 15-mile marker, I noticed two squirrels sitting on top of the posts. A woman was digging with a shovel near the bridge in that same area. As I approached the mile 14-marker, a female biker exclaimed to her male companion, "You know what's funny about GPS -- I don't care." I hear lots of bits of conversations like this. As I returned, I greeted a runner who cheerfully said, "Hey guy." I haven't heard that greeting before. At the end I walked to dip my legs in the cold water of the American River, and watched two crows chase a hawk away from their territory. They dived at it in succession, and it finally left.
