The best part about a good walk is the adventure. Heading off in a new direction or just stopping to take in the surroundings. We watched this hawk for quite a while yesterday. It was overlooking a valley and we were on a hill behind it. The hawk had his eye on a squirrel in a nearby tree and was waiting for that squirrel to make one false move. He decided to spare the squirrel and he took off for his next adventure.

Kodak used to make a “Hawk-Eye” camera and my dad worked at Kodak’s Hawk-Eye division on Driving Park overlooking the river. Most of what he did there involved government surveillance projects. He couldn’t talk about it then but it is all in the public domain now.

  1. I am so good with the typos. Peggi found four in yesterday’s post. It didn’t even make sense. Thanks. I’ll correct it now.

  2. My grandson uses the term “last day”, which is a hybrid of ‘last night’ and ‘yesterday.’ But he basically just uses it for anything related to the past. If he wants to remind you of something we did last week, he’ll say, “remember last day when we went to the orange playground?” I hope he never corrects himself out of this convention.
