We spent all morning Saturday cleaning up the junk on the side of our house.  Then to make my neighbor happy, we trimmed some of the trees along the wall.  The City of Mesa had brought out a bunch of large trash bins and placed them throughout the neighborhood.  It was a lot of hard work, and I was quite sore for a few days.  However, I've also been lazy and busy with work.  I finally decided to get out and run this morning.  The front door was open.  At least the screen door was closed.  It was a little cold in the house, but not too bad.  I saw the Schumacher's again with their headlamps on.  I think their batteries are going a bit low.  They were halfway across University when I turned to go to the other side of the Floodway.  When I got home I decided to cool off outside.  Sometimes I just sit on the side of the bathtub to cool off.  But we don't have a bathtub anymore.  It didn't seem like I was waiting too long when the Schumacher's came passing by.  I had left them behind with 3/4 of a mile to go.  I must've been sitting there longer than I thought.

Today is Feb. 15th.  I realized I didn't blog so I'm going off of memory.  The trouble is, I don't remember too much.  However, as I was running this morning I remembered that I forgot to mention one thing.  Now I know why I forgot.  Because I completely forgot to blog!  I will now mention that one thing.

I did my usual two loops around the Floodway/RWCD Canal.  As I was about to hit the last leg of the second loop I saw someone walking toward the gate.  I thought it might be Jeff, the hobo, and it was.  He went over to his little corner.  Then I saw someone else walking down the path.  He had on a backpack and what looked like Army camo.  Another hobo.  So I ran a little and stopped to see if he was going to interact with Jeff, which he did.  I trust Jeff, but I don't trust anyone else I haven't met.  Then I realized there was another hobo walking along the top of the bank of the Floodway.  He probably saw me watching them.  So I ran away and there behind an umbrella on the ground was another hobo.  This place is becoming skid row.
