Nothing new

Not that having nothing to say ever stopped me from not saying it.

A pleasant hike with the Wednesday Walkers yesterday. Until I walked smack dab into a low hanging roof eave. Saw stars but no serious damage other than a bruise on my forehead.

As seems to be a regular occurrence on these walks, there were the usual hiccups along the trail. Yesterday after getting about 3/4 of the way up the mountain we lost the trail. Repeated efforts to find our way to the top, including blazing our own trail, resulted in dead ends or terrain too steep to climb. So backtracking and going in circles were the order of the day. It gets a little frustrating, but that I guess is just part of the Wednesday adventure.

It’s good to be out and about regardless.
You can’t really tell from this photo, but that is a hell of a steep drop off, right from the edge of a broken sidewalk. I swear, I don’t know how kids in that neighborhood live to be 5 years old. I guess the parents just have to have faith in the Lord…
At least they built this shrine out in the middle of godforsaken nowhere. The damn thing probably cost more to construct than all the nearby houses combined.
One of those frequent “where do we go from here” moments on trail…

In other news, I continue to instruct Justin in the ways of life here.

…from beer drinking…
…to taking long morning walks…

He seems to be a quick learner!
