Saturday

I walked the dog today.  Actually I was forced.   My goal was to walk along the old trolley path until I got to L.I.S. or some other fancy place.   The vans I bought back in May were still giving me blisters so I decided this would be another prefect chance to break them in.... consequently they would make this adventure take a turn for the worst later on.   As I walked down the street towards the day seemed not super hot and Silas seemed calm.  We walked past the ginger's house and I saw him on roller blades.  How typical.  Sneaking past his two mini white monsters I thought we were in the clear and would make it to the path without the monsters noticing.   I was deceived when they ran from their hiding spot and started their siren songs making Silas pull on the leash.  Pulling Silas to the safety of the path we almost ran into a tall young man.  He had brown hair and eyes, wore a white shirt with some kind of logo on it and army green cargo shorts.  His shoes were an ugly color and didn't go with his outfit.  Clueless.  With his headphones in I assumed he was listening to either dubstep or rap.  I didn't want to be a stalker so I let Silas sniff around.  The boy was actually on the chubby side I thought as he walk on.   When I got to the road I looked left, right and then left again.  A week of safety town is turning me into something bad.  Silas wouldn't stop smelling stuff so we missed many safe opportunities to cross.  Finally across we keep walking but the young man is gone.  Whatever.  Moving down the path I see a random building with a fence around it.  What the f*ck is that doing here.  Next to the building is a path into some random neighborhood.  I follow it to find myself near a friends house and I decided to run away from there because my dog would hurt their kitties.  There is another neighborhood along the side path but I was too lazy explore.    Behind the fenced in building there was a place that I was sure drugs and alcohol had been since the lighters and broken glass.   As I continued to walk I saw many tempting swing sets that I wanted to go on just to scare some people. When I reached the end of the path I was quite disappointed that it ended with a highway.   Not knowing what to do I walked back to go explore the other neighborhood on the side path.  Walking in the shade for awhile I saw an old man watering plants.  I wish it was a sprinkler so I could run in it.  When I passed by he yelled out to me, "Hey how are you!?!"  I replied good as a white van came into my vision just ahead in the street.  Even though it wasn't his I still started freaking out when he said, "It's quite a hot day." And then started shaking his hose in up and down movements.  Scary.  Turning around I headed in the other direction.   We crossed the street and made it down the street until I couldn't take the shoes anymore and started walking around in my socks.  Silas decided to chase a ghost and drag me into some grass and dirt.  Not graceful.  Stupid ginger was there to see everything go down.  Not a good thing.  This ghost haunted Silas until we got home and that's the last thing I remember before I passed out........
