Running on July 5th is always a little amusing. The morning smells of sulfur and alcohol. People have stayed up late and leave things out that they normally wouldn't. On my run I saw:
1. 4 car doors left open - interior lights dim or off
2. 7 houses with lawn furniture left on the front lawn with various cups, plates and several watches
3. 2 front doors left open (I ran past both houses twice on my run about 40 minutes apart and they were still open...)
4. Numerous flags of varying sizes planted in; the ground, truck side, lawn chairs, planters, bushes, etc..
5. One poor cat wearing a flag as a cape
Do people really think that no one is going to mess with their stuff if it is left where it can be messed with? Next time I'm messing with stuff; moving furniture, planting flags on other lawns, changing the time on those watches, just to amuse myself and cause people to think they are losing their minds. ;-)
The sulfur smell is interesting to run through. I can tell which houses had illegal fireworks and who had sparklers. I suppose if there was any wind I wouldn't be able to tell this or would attribute it to the wrong house but there wasn't a breath for the last two days. Smells are a big part of my run but that's another blog.
