Comments: Having fun with the titles of these running journal posts, as (I hope) is apparent. Sort of in the vein of odd song names created by musicians. For example (these are real): "Evelyn, a Modified Dog" (Frank Zappa); "Barnacle Bill the sailor" (Bix Beiderbecke); "The Madrig Speaks, The Panter Walks" (Eric Dolphy). Like I said, weird names. Not that this blog even remotely approximates anything close to the genius of these people. So--really enjoyed running this evening. The temperature was pleasant, the streets were wet but not slick, smells of wet leaves filled the air. Overhead, stars were visible. To my sides, numerous holiday decorations of suburbia. It is a spectrum, really. One yard near our home nauseates me with the quantity of decorations--it really is as though someone filmed as part of the A&E television show "Hoarders" only hoarded holiday decorations and for six weeks a year dumps the contents of their home onto the yard. Most houses practice moderation and the results come out aesthetically better (in my opinion). I hit my stride at about the 20 minute mark. Efficient striding, minimal arm movement, and it seemed like I ran fairly quickly. The streets are so empty. As I passed soggy and faded flyers tacked to utility poles, the thought occurred to me (it happens, occasionally) why they remain despite being so close to people's homes--homeowners do not seem to be out walking around much. If they were, they would take more pride in the aesthetics of the environment beyond the prim nature of their yards. The site Walkability seems to back up this idea: http://www.walkscore.com/score/edison-and-becerra-way-sacramento-ca with a 35 out of 100 score. Anyway, everything went pretty well, tonight. Time for rest.
