People and Faces

If you go down along the trails often enough, you start to see people and faces (and dogs) you recognize. For example, from yesterday and today:

  • Greek-looking, grandmotherly woman stretching by the bridge.
  • Groovy guy and his unleashed muppet-looking, bell-bottom-legged dog.
  • Pinky, the woman who always wears pinks as she walks around the lake.
  • Dog trainer lady, who entrances dogs into behaving well if for only a brief time.
  • Skinny woman, who is always running hard and alone.
  • Tall smirking man, who runs hard but doesn't run fast and whose smirk is mostly smile.
  • Big burly guy, who looks like a mayor of some large, midwestern city.
  • Old shuffling man, who always wears a bandana and moves slower than molasses but is out there almost every day.
  • Well-dressed smoking man, who sits with his bagged possessions on the benches along the trail.
  • And of course, the fair and industrious Trudy, without whom a run around those trails is far harder to do.
