shadowkatSo, as related in a previous post, I decided to take a really long walk around Greenwood Cemetery today. Wasn't planning on taking photos, but I did. Some day, I'll walk about it and not take one. But hey, this round I did not get lost or need a map to figure my way out - even though I brought one. I'm beginning to think I've walked so much around the place that I am figuring it out?
It's lovely because it is the only spot that I've found in New York City where I can walk for over thirty minutes without seeing a soul. And when I do, they tend to stay over ten feet away. In a city like New York, where I am basically living with over three million people, this is a rarity. Also, it's among the few places that has lots and lots of grass, trees, flowers, etc and no debris. I don't see disposed gloves, disposed masks, etc. Honestly people if you want to wear gloves? Do not throw them out in the streets. It's disgusting, unsanitary, and goes against the whole point of wearing the stupid gloves. I saw people wearing gloves in Greenwood Cemetery which kind of boggled my mind - and no they didn't drive into the cemetery with them - I can sort of see wanting to wear gloves while driving a car.
You're touching a hard surface. But when you are walking around Greenwood Cemetery - you aren't touching anything. Sure I touch my phone and purse - but I haven't touched anything else - so they are fine. (Plus gloves do not keep me from touching my face - so the whole point of gloves is completely lost on me. It's kind of like the idea that if you brush your teeth, you won't eat? I can get around that. )
People bewilder me. Anyhow, there were people sunbathing, tending graves, walking with a friend or partner, playing with their kids, sitting on the grass talking on their cell phones, here and there. But for the most part, I didn't see anyone. I'd say I saw maybe twenty people in the Cemetery, if that during my three mile hike. Most of the people I saw and had to avoid were outside the cemetery.
As an aside and before I attempt to post pictures...I think I figured out the source of the shoulder pain - ergonomics. Which are kind of impossible to fix without spending a lot of money and I may end up back at work place by the time I get the stuff. I used my back brace - that appeared to help.
