The Mandelbear's Musings

Yesterday I still had some residual aches from my flu shot on Monday and didn't feel quite up to an exercise walk, so I just walked down to the Safeway and back. Even that may have been overdoing it: I had some odd muscle cramps in the evening.

So today I only walked down to the pond and back, at my old (strolling) pace. May still have been too much, but if I don't get my walkies I go rapidly crazy. (Some people would say that it's a really short trip.) They were painting new stripes on the road and dusting them with tiny reflective glass beads, which the wind promptly scattered all over the road. Since the sun was behind me, I got a lovely glory following me down the hill. (One might say sun dogging my steps, but...) (For some reason Wikipedia doesn't have it on their disambiguation page for glory, but points to the Wiktionary entry for it).
