We have these summer visitors who come through town about this time of year.
They come from near San Diego, and are headed north through Oregon and Washington for a summer of fun and sightseeing. but they forgot their car, so they have to walk.
I give them a ride into town if I see them since they will be walking 18 to 20 miles a day for the next 4 to 5 months!!! I tell them they are crazy, but they do not listen. They have compulsive walking disease ( CWD) and the cure is letting them walk it off. I smile, I wave, I shake my head in disbelief. The walk toward the mountains and away from us, the normal, the sane, the trapped.
I hope they have a great time on the Pacific Crest Trail PCT

- I am a lover of God, and I am a lover of life. My three wonderful children help me be a better man, and I consider fatherhood my most important role. These kids have made my life meaningful and filled with beauty. Nothing compares to them or gets between us. My mom lived 91 years and as youngest I was privileged to make sure she was comfortable and safe in her own home, was never alone, had plenty of friends and family coming around. She knew, before she passed away, how much we kids appreciated all she did for us over the many years. I am the youngest of five. I have ADD and it makes me fun, or irritating, depending on who you ask. Most of all I am real, so this blog has fun aspects and then serious writings, too. You get both, for one click of the mouse.
