missed a couple runs this week w/ lower back issues, got out there today though. Overcast, breezeless, thick, muggy morning, beach covered w/ trash from the 4th, couple of homeless guys sleeping on the benches, sirens from police cars & ambulances, I’d loaded up the Allman Brothers 1st album. Was that kind of morning.

The garbage on the beach really gets to me, I can’t understand why people refuse to pick up after themselves. Mississippi has a considerable amount of its natural environment left but there is no interest in preserving it. Another thing I noticed this morning was that there were no birds. Usually I see lots, today I saw none. Run off by morons I guess. We really need to move.
