Ran into my neighbor on the trail this morning. She's been away for two weeks starring in a play up in Salt Lake.  The play is about one of the first black Mormon women "I Am Jane"  (about Jane Manning).  We had a really intense conversation about racism, American history, chuch history, Mormonism and feminists. I love that she's back. I missed her. She always tells me her truth, and can handle it when I tell her mine. Then I ran the rest of my miles and marvled at how precious and perfect my trail is on this second official day of summer.  I  say this all the time, I NEVER get tired of the river.  Just last Saturday, Cath said to me "Do you even KNOW how amazing it is that you have the river and this running trail right behind your house?" I told her that if she read my blog she'd know how I feel about the trail behind my house.  It's my portal to becoming one with the Universe.  So yeah, I know how lucky I am.

I know how you feel about your river. It's hard to really express it in words. I feel the same way about "my" lake. By the way, when does that movie come out?

I've been thinking about your love affair with the trail this week when ALL of my running partners decided that they can't feel safe on the trail anymore. Everyone I talk to is scared after this last violent trail incident. How do you handle the violent outbursts of your beloved trail?

MissMary-It was a live play than ran for 2 weeks in SLC. It will be at the Covey Arts Center in Provo next month. No movie...yet.

Fast Mommy--I tell my neighbors to get out there more, more often and in bigger groups. I go all out vigilante, I run armed, with loose dogs, and with other people when I can. I will not lose the freedom of the trail without a fight and asking others to fight back, keep their eyes open, and to continue being cautious. That said, I'd happily kill anyone who came between me and that freedom--and I won't complain if I go down fighting. You can't stop bad things from happening, but you can be prepared and aware. I am both...always.

Wow! Can I ask you to give a motivational speech to all these wimpos in my neighborhood? I figure if we stop using the trail then the bad guys win.

Have you heard of wasp spray..and if so do you know where to get it?

Never heard of wasp spray, but Bob's Army Navy has a whole bunch of gadgets.
