doesn't everyone take their flags for a walk

My neice Lydia is staying with me again, so now I'm back on dog walking duty. It's okay, it motivates me to get out.

After walking the dog, I went for a walk today alone. I decided to do the Fountain Hill walk, it's been a while. A lot has changed. They are putting a new building up where the fire was a couple months ago. There is a trail from one park to the other, thru the compost center. And I saw a young man walking his flags. Doesn't everyone?

I was headed down Sioux and had passed St. Ursula's school.  Coming toward me I see flags but no parade. As we got closer to each other I saw it was a young man. Jokingly I asked if he was walking his flags. He said yes. I asked him if he was practicing for color guard. He said no. He just likes to go out with his flags and walk them around. I told him he should see my brother Dave's place. You don't know how much I wanted to take a picture of the young man and his flags. I didn't want him to think I was weird.

I went up the path thru the woods to Dotson and went out the alley parallel to Graham.  I heard a noice. It was about 6 deer including two bucks. They ran like hell when they saw me. It's hard to see them in the pic. They blend in.

It's Thanksgiving and there was not a single turkey in the cemetery. Normally there are a lot. Maybe they were all on someone's table. I was disappointed.

Coming down Graham I was almost hit by a car. I think the asshole was playing chicken. I was walking facing traffic and he was coming up the hill. I was as far over as possible. He came up the hill and was hugging the "curb". I was thinking about taking a dive into the forsythia but thankfully he swerved out into the road.

I didn't go to free yoga this morning. I was about to head out the door when my sister called. By the time I hung up it was too late.

Last night I went to the Sand's Outlet Mall with Lydia. This is their Christmas decorations. I think it's cool. It's in the front window. Oh, they have Santa land (at a casino!) and a big tree too.

Miles/Steps:   About 3 miles. Still no tracker  
Bathrooms:     At the Dotson Street park was locked. I really needed it.  
Weather:        Cold, breezy ... about 42, maybe
Wildlife:          4 doe, 2 buck
Extras:           I had pizza for Thanksgiving dinner. Lydia brought a lot of leftovers home. I'll be having something more traditional, probably on Saturday.
