#189 - Don't Like Neighborhood Worries

Real Concerns

Mostly I ignore the chatter on my Neighborhood Facebook Group. Lots of bored people whining about stupid things. But this sad image caught my eye. This was worth fretting over.

How can this be? Why would someone be wise enough to wear a disposable mask and stupid enough to let it become litter? Thoughts of this poor duck haunted me.

Discoveries

I've taken some different routes on my walks and runs. I hoped to find the duck, but I found other things. I saw the middle school with it's flag at half-mast for Justice Ginsberg. I saw the marquee, with words for the students, who are still doing school from home.

I saw stuffed animals in trees. That was funny. Someone is trying to amuse the kids, I guess.

Signs

And I saw signs at Pecan Park, that made me think a bit.

It was sad to see the red sign near the playground, reminding folks about Covid-19. "Use at your own risk" I was a little amused by the sign that reminded us that we will be fined if we use sticks against the pecan trees. 

I haven't spotted the duck yet, but I did see a few people gathering pecans... without using sticks.
