And now they're coming to kill the plants today. Signs up all over Lookout Hill that the Parks Dept. will be spraying Roundup herbicide all over the hill, and we saw the trucks arriving. "If it's alive, kill it!!" seems to be the motto of the Parks Department. What is wrong with these people? Maybe my joke about building condos in the park wasn't such a joke after all?
Other than the threat of death and injury, it was a beautiful day. Lots of dogs, after several rainy days. A red cardinal swooping around a tree. Very few birds on the lake today, but we didn't walk all the way around. The whole lake feels way too empty.
No crack bags on Lookout Hill, but a single boot. Fodder for a short story, I think.
And there are now four truck tires in the Parade Grounds. Definitely looks like someone is using them for some athletic training.
