    Mouse introduced me to their friend and a guard at a local pet store last night. ๐Ÿ“ท I’ve walked these streets a hundred times, but I don’t see the things they do. It’s like discovering a hidden world in the world I know each time.

    Man Iโ€™d love some beer from this truckโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ“ท

    The problem with having an espresso machine at home is getting spoiled.

    Instant coffee tastes horrible. Starbucks coffee is either too watered down or too bitter.

    On my walk, I passed by a local firehouse, where they cleaned and prepared one of their fire trucks.

    A fire station with an American flag and two fire trucks parked inside is visible behind a blue and white star-spangled bollard.

    Nat’s dad’s surgery went fine, and everything turned out OK. I find myself sitting on a sofa I haven’t set on for over 5 years since Nat moved in with us.

    The father is originally from Ukraine, and there’s food that reminds me of my childhood. The best part is the homemade pickled tomatoes. He knows how to make them just with the right amount of garlic, sugar, and vinegar. I had to stop eating more of them or risk stomach pain.

    I walked the dog, a passive-aggressive mix of a Corgi and a Jack Russell. She had to be carried downstairs, and I could tell she was holding herself back from snapping at me when I grabbed her. She understood that if she wanted to go outside, I was the only option she had today. I understood that if I wanted to go somewhere, I needed to forget about it because she was in charge. It worked out OK.

    What’s left at this point is to grab a good cup of coffee somewhere, as instant coffee doesn’t' agree with me (that’s OK - I don’t agree with it either).

    A pleasant surprise: a community garden at a local school on my evening walk. ๐Ÿ“ท

    A little coffee shop comic ๐Ÿ“ท anyone?

    Lets go to the movies ๐Ÿฟ ๐Ÿ“ท

    On my way back, I always enjoy crossing east to west through Central Park. How can you not? ๐Ÿ“ท

    My morning sandwich is one slide of bread cut in half with vegan pesto, one slice of vegan Gouda cheese, one sliced cherry tomato, and Dijon mustard (Grey Poupon). ๐Ÿ“ท ๐Ÿฅ—

    Today was a good day for a walk. I stopped for a sandwich from one of my local favorite stops, sat in the park to enjoy it with some water and cake, and continued to cross over the newly dubbed “we love you” bridge. ๐Ÿ“ท

    a paved bridged with a tall fence on both sides; there are hearts made of metal hanging on the fence with a sign saying our community and the shadow from the sign casts the words we love you on the pavement

    Love me some hot sauce ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ“ท

    What a beautiful day today. It was the first real spring day for me: walking around in a t-shirt, smelling flowers everywhere (and sneezing), I captured a photo of these small buds:

    The foliage of April is not exactly that of October, but there were many of these

    A tall building, trapozoid shape. its sharp corner faces the viewer, with a single column of windows going up. There are city streets on both sides of the building, with a yellow cab in front of the building.
