So I had walked to a much-loved village, uh, coffee house and had some coffee and some banana bread, and it's, you know, not too far from my house.
It's about a forty-five minute walk and it, uh, it goes alongside Six Mile Creek, which allow you to see glimpses of a waterfall along, uh, the walk.
And Valley Road, even though it has a lot of pedestrian activity, whether as people are jogging or walking their dog or even cycling, I saw like a group of cyclers yesterday morning as well while I was birding, it is not necessarily a main road.
And in Tompkins County, New York, uh, even though it's really pedestrian-friendly and nature friendly, Valley Road is, is... doesn't have like a dedicated pedestrian, uh, spot alongside the road.
So what I do is I follow the rule when I'm walking, and that is always face the traffic closest to me and, uh, always be alert to my surroundings.
And I took a little video of the dog, and he was just barking, and his tail was wagging and, um, and I was just like, "What a cute dog." But there was something-- Most dogs when they see me, they kinda just, you know, kinda just acknowledge me, but they don't like bark a whole lot.
