A Grand Day Out-Walking, Part 2
We left off at Thunderbird and Singing Bird and Coral Tree… it wasn’t all beauty and sunshine, as the neighborhood is uneven (lots of old folks like us letting their houses go ‘downhill’ somewhat).
I’m sure the tidy Rivian owner is annoyed, but that’s the cycle of life... little old houses were scraped for these two. The neighborhood is pre-WWII according to the 1939 sidewalk stamp I saw on one corner.
Within this trailer is a VW Thing converted into a mobile Espresso machine.
Across a canyon is the University of San Diego.
Across the sidewalk is a beautiful rose.
And as you might know, they say “It’s Turtles All the Way Down.” I’m sure Filip can explain that saying, but here’s what Wikipedia suggests:
"Turtles all the way down" is an expression of the problem of infinite regress. The saying alludes to the mythological idea of a World Turtle that supports a flat Earth on its back. It suggests that this turtle rests on the back of an even larger turtle, which itself is part of a column of increasingly larger turtles that continues indefinitely. The exact origin of the phrase is uncertain. In the form "rocks all the way down", the saying appears as early as 1838.
So at least a century before these homes were built!

I say “It’s bees what make the world go round”
and flowers feed the bees.
And bees give us wax so we can see in the dark when the power’s out (Sorry Spain, Portugal and our house yesterday — though our outage was planned).
We stopped for a quick meeting to exchange some beeswax with a pal at church.
I have too much.
and a little red car that looked familiar.
and marveled over the tenacity of plant life fighting its way towards the sunlight:

And finally at home I remembered the watch of the day photo — I carried two watches today (three different displays)
I have forgotten how to synchronize the Ana & digital displays, sorry.
Thanks for walking with us today.

A Grand Day Out-Walking, Part 1
Apologies to Wallace & Gromit for using their title, but we had a very nice, though steep and short walk today. We started down this path and immediately stopped to answer a text, spot a hummingbird, and so on. My wife said excitedly “there’s a hummer...
I absolutely loved the journey 👍👌👌
The one I particularly liked is the lady willing to take revenge on her hairdresser 😂😂 maybe not only for the picture but for the caption 👍😂👌👌
I could come up with no other explanation
It took a few shots to catch the blade at a visible angle, but each time I cringed at the hair! ...
😂😂 I’m sure she is a great person but…
…her hairdresser should make a training session probably 😉😂😂

They all seemed to be saying that!🤣
I’m thinking Mike shouldn’t go back to that neighborhood again for a while.🫣

This is the kitty we really wanted but held off because I know the heartbreak when a pet is lost. Almost Did Some Cat Snatching Today
Lovely pictures and a great rendition of your travels for the day.
I also don't think that lady was training for revenge on her hairdresser at all and I think it is more likely she will be heading to her AD that made her buy and ton of jewellery and watches she didn't really want to get the one watch she did want and sti...
Thanks Tony
Sometimes writing up the report takes as long as the walk … but we see everything a second or third time by going through the pictures, especially the animals & birds, or things captured with the Zoom. And sharing makes it much more enjoyable … I wouldn’t...
