The Pedestrian
Anyone who loves this story should check out the New York Times (and wire services) report in today's (8/15/09) NYT:
http://www.nytimes.com/aponlin...eople-Bob-Dylan.html

Or just go to New York Times web site and search for "Bob Dylan." Mr. Dylan was out for a stroll in a suburban neighborhood at 5:00 p.m. He was taken to police station when he could not produce satisfactory ID for police. Just as Mr. Bradbury predicted: It seems to be a crime for walking in New Jersey--even if you are Bob Dylan.

love the Dylan angle.


She stood silently looking out into the great sallow distances of sea bottom, as if recalling something, her yellow eyes soft and moist...

My best snowball fights, marble matches, path findings, mudpuddle stomps, games of catch, cornerstore ice cream munches, best friend /dog talks, and pig-tail pulls occurred on those wonderful walks from home to school and back home again (in sun - rain - snow - and wind)!
