Morning Walk

While in my pajamas this morning I debated whole heartedly on the value of more sleep. Once my tires hit the dirt road I rolled down the windows, heard the songbirds, felt the cool air and saw the sunrise through the tree tops. The debate ended.

On the way in I passed three hunters shooting at (and missing) two Canadian Geese in the general direction of the Air Force Base. These guys are the reason rednecks should not breed.

I got a late Christmas present the other day (I bought it myself, love that after the holiday shopping) a new pair of binoculars with a digital camera attached. No otter will ever go un-photographed again! As soon as I figure out how to work it I'll post some pictures.

I'm sitting on an animal's den by the edge of the water hoping the animal isn't inside being crushed and wondering what piece of knowledge I would glean from today's walk. I got nothing. As much as I try to grow and change I still see myself as the teenage girl carrying the giant sketch pad and wanting so much to see the world through rose colored glasses.

Then I realized that I have a job and have to be at work in the morning early. I have to go wash the mud off the car, do laundry, iron blouses and buy lunchmeat.

1 - Hi Brenda,

I ran across your trip down the Ocmulgee below Macon and was wanting to ask you some questions about your trip.
We canoe down the upper part of the river and I always wondered how long it would take to go from Spring street to Hwy 96. I believe you put in at Bullards landing, right? Can you go from Bullards landing to Hwy 96 in one day? How long of a trip was the Popes Ferry to Spring Street?

These are some questions and I will probably think of a few more, but these will do for now.

Thanks,

Keith
