exercise and burds

Whew! Not a lot less hot-and-sweaty making when I do the same route at 7 in the morning. Still what would be a lovely summer day if it where, not even that much cooler, but less bloody humid. I think my sandals may be better for walking than my running shoes, as they have a broader toe and don't squish my toes together where they rub. Also my Ex Officio boxer briefs may not be breathable enough for all-day wear, but they are *great* at reducing friction and chafing. Sorry, just sayin'.

Saw about the same density of people, which seemed right for a morning when only dog-walker and early risers are up but strange for midafternoon on a weekend. Saw several dogs and their people, but I'm not a dog-watcher, I'm a (novice) birdwatcher, so all that's new that I can report is confirming the presence of several grackles. Didn't see the mysterious woodpecker.
