Another blurb of Leroy and me on a hike along the Rascal Bike Path here in Merced, a city of a bit more than 80,000 about an hour north of Fresno on the 99, heatedly-blistering in California’s Central Valley. This morning, however, our walk was really nice — we’d started early, missed the up-driving temperatures…
Breezy and not all-that-warm this late-afternoon Friday here in California’s Central Valley. Compared to yesterday (101-degrees), today has been a snap — it’s 77 right now and with cool gusts the ambiance is near-comfortable. Another irregular/regular post of Leroy and I strolling along Rascal Bike Path here in Merced. Although we walk every day, only…
Overcast and breezy, a cool-feeling supposedly 80-degrees this Sunday afternoon in California’s Central Valley. Sitting in my daughter’s small, cozy backyard, I catch occasional glimmers of sunshine, but the scene mostly emoting an ambiance of an old black-and-white movie with brief flashes of color. Another heat burst upcoming, maybe temps in triple digits by mid-week.…
Another buzz in California’s Central Valley this Wednesday afternoon, and once again a-walking Leroy along a portion of the Rascal Bike Path here in Merced, located in that self-same valley. Also another example of Leroy not really wanting to walk, especially maybe too early in the morning, but off we went anyway for a short…
Hot and still Saturday here in California’s Central Valley. Another adventure of walking my daughter’s dog, Leroy, along a small portion of the Rascal Bike Path here in Merced, which during the hike this morning was seemingly way-cooler and a bit overcast. An ambiance easily burned away upon our return leg, always quicker, and hotter.…
Dog walks again on the Rascal Bike Path here in Merced — now late-afternoon Sunday in California’s Central Valley, fairly-warm with not much wind. Every morning, if I can work it, I take my daughter’s basset hound/greyhound mix, Leroy, on walks via the Rascal, some longer than others, but our sorties have also become a…
Up early today, Leroy and I out to transverse our small portion of the Rascal Bike Path here in Merced, but it was already getting warm, thus, not a long walk. Enough for us, though. We’re both old, and we play it that way. Writing this now in late afternoon and it’s hot, reportedly 95-degrees,…
Dog-walking again today, Leroy and I on the Rascal Bike Path here in Merced. We’re getting up earlier, so the trips are much cooler, and for some reason, seemed to be a lot brighter. Pretty quiet this morning, not too many people, and only a couple of other dog walkers. Close to midday it seems…
Again this morning, Leroy and I on our venture via the Rascal Bike Path here in Merced. A quiet, earlier walk with few people and a certain cool to the air that would be absent in a short space. Still Sunny bright all along the path — this post is pix from three walks in…
Keeping in time with the age — Leroy and I toured Merced’s Rascal Bike Path this morning. Dog-walk turned-out to be the nicest we’ve had in a while — early enough to miss the heat and return without panting like a couple of dogs. And a decent-sized outing, too, more than an hour. Even with…
