"Great blue heron!" Danger Man & Roadkill stop to watch the magnificent bird launch itself into flight at our approach, wingtips almost touching the water's surface. A flock of ducks occupy the far shore of the pond. We meander north, taking cut-throughs at every opportunity, pausing for slow-motion leaps on playground equipment at an elementary school. Slower-mo running continues when a toy poodle passes us along Sligo Creek Trail. Grrrrrr!

"Puppy butt!" A new lawn sculpture poses by a driveway, head apparently buried in the earth. The line at the bagel bakery stretches almost out the door, too long to permit a stop for bialys. Another day!
