Sad fog

The prettier the weather gets, the darker my mood. Got out to get supplies, decided to go around the western edge of Green Lake to hit PCC. The weather's changing, there's a ring around the sun, and there were little white caps on the water. By the time I'd loaded my backpack and continued around the lake to my exit, it was clouding over. Two foursomes of brand new ducklings bobbed along with their parents, undeniably cute. Another set of four were piled up on the shore, poking and preening each other while their mother kept guard; a few big-bellied guys with pitbulls and other large dogs stomping along, letting go of the leashes and letting their animals run amok. I stopped to have some of a pink grapefruit drink for a little refreshment, and watched women in all stages of pregnancy and maternity go by. What a hopeful or perhaps oblivious bunch we are.
Watched a bit of a special on John Wayne; had to leave when it showed a clip of him waxing nostolgic for them thar good ole days of bloody yore. Sounded way too familiar...
