In 9120 Steps

I enjoyed several "pause and lean in" moments during my hike to and from BART today.

My outbound walk on this President's Day off took me past half a dozen men washing or polishing their rides in front of their homes. 90s Nissans, Volkswagons, Hondas, all with keys in the ignition to power their pumping stereos. An old Chinese man on a recycling (wage-earning) expedition fished out a plastic bag full of empty beer bottles from a trash can -- jackpot! -- before stepping aside for me to pass.

On my way home, three guys in hoodies lined a bench outside the darkened public library, hunched over their laptops. It was after hours, but they could still get wi-fi access. Every dog owner seemed to be out for their pre-dinner stroll. Said hello to a rottweiler, beagle, spotted mutt, and a couple of low-riders.

Pretty interesting 9120 steps, I'd say.
