Atlanta

• There is some graffiti which I see very often. Every time I see this particular graffiti, I am puzzled. It reads "Free Bids". I wonder, who is Bids? How shall I do my part to Free him? Alternatively, where might I obtain my free bid? What shall I have bid upon? Are bids not always free? See, confusing.
• Simply by going straight where I usually turn, I have discovered a new running path. This path goes through Rottenwood Creek park.
• I am pretty sure that the name of this park doesn't mean "go ahead and dump all your trash here", although clearly many passers-by disagree.
• Also sighted: dead rat.
  

Colorado, Turkey Trot

• Santa and a Santa-dog. Santa-dog was mean to the other dogs.
• A group of teens dressed in ridiculous neon. A pack of past me's! In the first half-mile, a neon dude sprinted past me, then had to stop to dramatically adjust a knee-sock. He did not pass me again.
• Unattended keg of free beer. WOOOO Turkey Trot!
