Comments: I think a great super-power in real-life would be the power to have horses whinny when someone says "Blücher". The run tonight went smoothly and swiftly. Immediately noticed bright, silvery-lined cloud-banks to the east, where the night sky shone like twilight. To the south and west, between the cloud-cover, lay inky patches of midnight blue. It was only after a few minutes, after I reached a clearing in the tree canopy near my home, when I realized tonight's full moon represented the source of the illumination. It appeared to me only twice this evening, a shining disk with lots of clouds to light up. Really grand. At Mira Loma high school, two kids asked me where Norris Avenue was. I pointed it out and continued. Every time I go out, I think about the smell of sewage as I pass near the corner of Gibbons Park, Pasadena, and Cypress Avenue. I think a pipe has burst underground near that location. I attempted to run a bit further forward this evening, with my feet striking the ground under my torso. Not sure how successful this became. I have been fighting a bit of a cold these past two days, so I think I felt it a bit this evening, in terms of struggling. I wondered as I ran through Gibbons Park why the north half has low-pressure sodium vaporo security lighting, while the southern half, near the community center, has high-pressure sodium vapor security lighting. There really is not a lot to think about while running, obviously. I noticed a giant inflatable polar bear, which is awesome, but I still like the 20-foot inflatable snowman the best. One driver failed to stop at the intersection of Gibbons Drive and Edison Avenue this evening. As I returned home, a person flagged down a passing truck with "Hooooo!" noise. The driver of the truck circled back and stopped to chat. As I walked past, the driver pulled the truck into the street, then reversed it into the person's driveway, grinding heavily as they shifted the gear into reverse. "Hooooo!" the person exclaimed. Near Mira Loma high school again, at the end of my run, I think I passed the same two kids from the beginning of my run. Everything ended well. No pain. As I came in the driveway, Dawn greeted me as she looked into the sky for signs of a lunar eclipse, which is supposed to occur this evening. Unfortunately, conditions have degraded and the clouds completely cover the moon. I started thinking about signing up for 5K races in a few weeks; not sure which ones are available, but it is a good indicator of how fast the eventual marathon might go. Also thought about the first 5K race I ran, way back on Saturday, April 22, 2006, and the song, "Your Song," by Elton John, which I heard on the way home that morning. It reminded me of Dawn. :o)
