No 852 bus on Sunday! I had to make up 2 hours this weekend and walked from Northtown. I have seen interesting sights. There is a white pine behind a fence by Half-Price Books which is surrounded by weedy willows. The willows have pine cones. The pine cones are strung by yarn from the willows.  A mysterious gift from someone who climbed the fence.  Today a killdeer was running along the road between Aldi and Outback. She ran in front of me and feigned injury, flopping over to show a pink chest that looked like a nice piece of meat. I knew then there were chicks nearby and there they were, running on their tiny legs down the curb. Three of them. I walked around the killdeer so she could be nearer to her chicks, and she ran at them yelling "Run, run, run!" So cute. On the way back (still without an 852) I saw some older babies that were not too afraid of me.
