Blues skies again. Hurrah! We could get used to this....
Well, this morning I tried the "new" oatmeal at Starbucks. It was ok--but not outstanding. At least no better than I make at home. Which probably speaks to just how much (or how little) steel-cut oats are in it. Apparently the new blueberry topping isn't available in this area as I was unceremoniously handed a bag with the traditional brown sugar, mixed nuts, and dried fruit. It was an ok breakfast sandwiched between a workout at the gym and a meeting at church. Frankly, my usual quick breakfast of yogurt and cereal would have been just fine.
A group of people (?!) apparently had a swell time in the parking lot last night. Garbage (fast food, mostly) was strewn over a wide area and a half-rack of empty beer bottles was close by. As I pumped away on the stair stepper I decided that I would pick the crap up if I had an appropriate bag in the car. So, armed with a paper shopping bag and some "doggy do" bags to put over my hand (almost as good as rubber gloves) I got what I could (some was under parked cars) and put it in a trash can. And, a young gentleman headed for the gym stopped to help along the way. Which I thought was really cool. :) The world is full of all types--those who don't give a rats behind about their impact on the environment being one type that really gets my goat. So I've decided to keep materials in the car to "fight" pollution one mess at a time as the opportunity arises. I'll be more intentional about having bags with me on walks. It doesn't do any good to gripe about it if I'm not willing to be part of the solution. So, perhaps there will be a little less litter as
life goes on.
