Walk #54: Packer

Walk Duration: Thirty minutes...


I got off work at 3 pm, hopped in the car and drove back to the Solar Compound. Along the way, I stopped by a Wildlife Refuge for a walk.

The warning sign said not to walk alone, or at dusk; I ignored it and did both. Everyone needs a sense of danger in their life now and then. People are driven to hysterics by mountain lion sightings. Nothing in our lives seems to stir up such primordial and irrational angst. We have more to fear from domestic dogs, bees, rattlesnakes, bugs, spiders and deer: all of whom actually kill more people every year in California than the beleaguered mountain lion.
