Ran through Fruitdale (6 miles) and then to the HS to run barefoot on the football field. Managed to run 3 miles while watching all the Freshman be walked through high school orientation. The all looked thrilled to be back in school... Then I made my way home with a few detours in-between. A car nearly ran me off the road while I was crossing Savage St in the crosswalk. He called me 'names' so I changed course and followed him. He got way ahead of me but I guess correctly which street he turned on--turns out he was dropping his kid off at a church daycare while sucking back on cigarettes the entire time. Real winner, that one. I stopped and asked him if he wanted to say anything else to me. We exchanged a few ideas. I complimented him on being father of the year and a few things of that nature, then we went our separate ways. Probably shouldn't have but some mornings I can't help myself... |
