tinydoctor<p>Yesterday I walked in Cherokee Park. Been a while. I left flat screen and doom scroll behind and entered the green world called June, smelling it, touching it, listening to it. The iParasite in my pocket kept track. </p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/dailywalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>dailywalk</span></a>, <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/pilgrimsprogress" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>pilgrimsprogress</span></a>: 8,316 steps, 2.8 miles</p><p>It was a one deer day.

tinydoctor<p>FYIFs Update:, I had surgery on May 5 to replace my left knee. 3 weeks and 5 days later, I can walk without assistance, cane, or walker, do stairs, pretty much have almost all my range of motion back. I get tired faster, and it still hurts (in different places as healing progresses). Haven’t tried a hiking trail yet. I feel positive enough about the outcome that Els and I are contemplating getting my right knee done in August.

It was a four deer day. Tens of thousands (millions?) of those little yellow flowers blooming in the bottoms by Beargrass Creek <a href="https://metapixl.com/discover/tags/iphonephotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#iphonephotography</a>

tinydoctor<p>I felt like one of David Lynch's old men. However, my food court Cuban cappuccino, inexplicably topped with several inches of spray can whipped cream dusted with cinnamon, did not taste of percolated fish.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/dailywalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>dailywalk</span></a>, <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/pilgrimsprogress" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>pilgrimsprogress</span></a>: 6,463 steps, 2.6 miles</p>
tinydoctor<p>On Thursday I walked at the Falls of the Ohio. I don't know how many times I've walked there. <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/dailywalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>dailywalk</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/pilgrimsprogress" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>pilgrimsprogress</span></a>: 6,204 steps, 2.3 miles.</p>
tinydoctor<p>I saw this owl on yesterday's walk, in the same tree on the same branch, as the owl I saw on my solstice walk. Presumably the same owl. I believe it is a great horned owl, but the branch it's perched on is high in the tree, so I could be wrong. I found it by the "who." I walked past the tree, looked up, and it was staring straight down at me. The deer seem to be doing well this year. I've seen a lot more bucks with antlers.

Bevan Thomas<p>Depending upon one's definition, either John Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Progress" (1678) or Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels" (1726) could be called the first English fantasy novel. They both provide numerous imaginary continents, along with maps for context.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/BookologyThursday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BookologyThursday</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/BookChatWeekly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BookChatWeekly</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/31DaysofHaunting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>31DaysofHaunting</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/literature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>literature</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/fantasy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fantasy</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/map" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>map</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/JonathanSwift" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JonathanSwift</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/GulliversTravels" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GulliversTravels</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/PilgrimsProgress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PilgrimsProgress</span></a></p>

tinydoctor<p>We have a lot of vultures in our neighborhood. Maybe due to the Ohio River a few miles away? They do clean up (with some help from crows) on flattened squirrels, dead cats, possums, the occasional tasty bunny, &etc. When I see them circling overhead, I tell them, "I'm not dead yet." Lately some of the local buzzards have looked rather scruffy (not the one pictured). Are they molting?<br />Saturday's <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/dailywalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>dailywalk</span></a>, <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/pilgrimsprogress" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>pilgrimsprogress</span></a>: 10,466 steps, 3.7 miles</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/vultures" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>vultures</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/OhioRiver" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>OhioRiver</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/FallsoftheOhio" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FallsoftheOhio</span></a></p>
