Dec 18, 2021: Was a great walking, perfect weather, 50 degrees F, some Sun some clouds, a cool breeze. Just perfect. In Texas these combinations are rare. In Iran we had a whole season of that each year. It is not common that I don't end up carrying my jacket in my hands. Today, as soon as I got my body to the steady state a breeze began which made me quite comfortable to keep the jacket on. It was also very dry! No idea where all that water from last night's hard rain went. You could still see the telltale of what had happened overnight if you looked carefully, but the path was all dry. Air must've become suddenly extra dry to absorb all that and still stay dry. As cold as it was, some insects were out to enjoy the warm cement slabs. Much fewer of those gray-red bugs but as many large spiders as yesterday were out. I suspect they are daddy long-leg spiders but their bodies are more round than the usual ones you see in barn and in the house. Also slightly more dark brown or reddish color rather than light brown. I even saw a dung beetle but this one was different. His legs were red (body is always black) instead of black, and body was a bit narrower. Of the regulars I spotted the Beaner and two of the tall giant Cro-Magnon humans (CH). I cannot distinguish between the latter at all cause all three are same height and wear some form of hats and are masked. The only distinction between them that I can think of is that one of them must be even older because a few of the muscles involved in walking aren't working right anymore, making his walking a tiny bit strained and stick-like. Ok let me be straight, it looks as if a thick giant dildo is up his ass as he is walking. Now you get the picture. The other two walk normal, old as they are. I'm pretty sure they've been professionally in sports in their days, most probably basketball. I hope I keep seeing all of them. The Chink was missing which is odd. Very rarely that happens and even then I may have somehow been distracted while he was in the view. But today he was sure not there. Perhaps the store he possibly owns needed a helping hand now so close to Christmas. Black old woman was of course missing too, being holed up somewhere saying "Lord, Hallelooya!" Do people still observe Christmas? For what? Commemorating their grandmas and grandpas that Fauci and Trump killed to save government spending? Christmas is for good times in case you didn't notice. Grocery stores this time of the year, if it was not for the new situation, would've been fucking you up with constant Christmas songs while you shopped. None of that at all now! There's no music. Even Mexican grocery stores that always played Mexican songs are silent (the two that I shop at anyway). You don't hear Christmas songs in Walmart. It would piss some people off I'm sure. As soon as weather matched the season here geese appeared :-) Hehe :) I saw two flocks of the usual V-shaped arrangement on the sky one in the morning while driving and one when walking in the afternoon. Also during walking the part of the track that went through and along creeks I saw many chickadees for the first time this season! One day into normal winter weather and they appeared as if out of nowhere. They're always in some small group and you notice them in the bushes going from bush to bush, branch to branch, not in flight cause they're too small and too close to house sparrow size and looks to be identified in flight. House sparrows are of course always noisy, but these chickadees are silent. Occasionally making a quick tiny little sound. You see them as soon as they sit on a branch of a bush and as soon as that they fly to another branch a yard or so away. This way they move through all the bushy areas looking for food. And this "food" must've been plenty today for them! All these insects that are still alive and kicking. They may be feeding on fruits as well. I'm sure there are yellow hawthorn trees along these creeks (Mexican hawthorn) and right now is right in the middle of season for them. All Mexican grocery stores that I frequent carry them. These chickadees might be eating them as well. Plus I've noticed that as the wild persimmon seeds are disappearing in the droppings on the track, other seeds are fast showing in them. They may all be hawthorn. And yes I still don't know exactly which animal's droppings they are. Nobody was there today "outing". It was just me and those three other regulars I mentioned. But I also saw this woman, a CH about 45 or at most 50, rather tall, that I've been seeing everyday for the past two weeks or so. It is too early to add her to the list of regulars but she might be a candidate. I'll know for sure if I keep seeing her after the holidays. Women change chemistry when Christmas gets near and do and say and feel and behave differently from what they become after holidays are over. So we'll see about her later. I'm certain that those who walk every day long distances (about 10 or max 15 miles) do it mainly for therapy, not just exercise or entertainment. I can't see any other reason for doing it everyday. And it _is_ therapy big time!. Remember "Down and Out in Paris and London" (Orwell)? British government was doing that to the homeless in London as the best that could be done for them to get them out of the trap they had found themselves in. That was one heck of a bright idea and I have a hunch they learned it from the Indian leg of Britain. Like many other stuff they learned from India and they're so silent about them. This "therapy" makes you a whole human again :-) -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
