Walkabout

It didn't get sunny until close to sunset but then it was beautiful. No rain today. Here's where I waited for the bus, on this comfortable bench.



I was early so I had some time to look around and the first thing I discovered was Home Depot's new advertising technique...
I don't think it will be very successful as most people just walked right past it. I picked it up and used it to hold the rest of the trash I picked up today. There was a trash can nearby and I put it all in there.



What do you think this is for. I wonder if some poor trucker is going around and around looking for a spot to unload.

Or maybe it just got torn up and thrown out the window. I thought it was interesting because the date is my daughter's birthday.





I meant to take a picture of the bus as it came but did get the sign. The driver said if there's no sign the bus doesn't stop. In the distance you can see the city garbage truck and the station where I used to buy gas for my car.
I took this picture from the open window on the bus because I want a dog and the phone number is right there. With my luck, though, it's probably a rottweiler.

This was my destination today and why I call it a walkabout. It's kind of a big horseshoe shaped strip mall. I ended up going to only three of the stores CVS...got a skeleton, Michaels...got some yarn, and the Dollar Tree...this and that. Didn't stop for lunch at Taco Bell like I planned cause wasn't hungry. Waited for the bus at the correct stop but got on the wrong bus. I didn't know more that one came that way so I didn't look. Met a couple people on the bus. I remembered that bus people like to talk a lot. Ended up at home like I planned. I'm happy to have been able to get some exercise today. I want to get some better walking shoes though.
