WITH - Without

'Tis a pity I left home without Nik, last evening, as our walk in the hood provided quite a few Kodak moments. There was the bunny, grazing in front of Robert Green's. Such has become a rare sight, due to an increasing coyote population. You know - the food chain. Mambo calmly remained in heal position, ignoring the dude. I couldn't help but imagine had Ike been along... he'd have charged Peter Rabbit, dragging me right along with him. There was nothing like a chase, for old Ikester.

In addition, there was an influx of huge box trucks, confusedly meandering onto our service road. It seems as though the state is doing fine job in rebuilding Bridgeville, but they are ignoring resulting traffic woes. This for locals... I saw numerous cars stuck on the road-no-longer by our own new exit, heading straight for Cimarron Pond. Drive using extra caution. They're back.

Last, but clearly not least, was the incredibly huge orange-ball-a-sun, setting behind our mountains. 

You see, we're trying to step up (no pun intended) our hike; stopping every few minutes to shoot looks too much like an excuse to rest. Still... 'tis a pity.
