Walk up to the office. Organize my files for next week. Pack up and walk back home. It is rainy. Work around the house. At night watch the Wisconsin Badgers demolish the Michigan Wolverines in College Football.
It is all so very peaceful
In the morning walk to the office. Get very little done. Drive to Farm and Fleet. Buy some more duck pellets and cracked corn. Get a new pair of winter gloves. Drive home. Do a Zoom court hearing on the couch. Ride my bike west on the Hank Aaron trail. It is a cold ride. Ride back downtown along Lincoln Avenue. At night walk out to the lagoon. It is dark. I can see the geese sitting out on the water. They are very quiet. I put out piles of seed for them. One by one they quietly come ashore to eat. I walk among them putting out more piles as they eat. They are quiet. No fighting. They don’t mind me coming right up to them. It is all so very peaceful.

Walk to the lagoon twice in a row

Aggressive geese

They are agressive and don’t give a fuck. I am becoming too popular. Drive to the Safety Building. My client is on COVID quarantine at the House of Correction. Case adjourned. This looks like the last summer like day of the year. Take advantage of it. Ride my bike around the northern half of the Oak Leaf trail. Ride back downtown along the Hank Aaron trail. In the afternoon walk back down to the lakefront. The geese all run at me again. They poke at the bag to get the seed out. They terrorize everyone and everything around the area. Wild!

The President-Elect
In the morning go down to the lagoon to put out seed for the ducks and the geese. There are many more geese out here. This causes more mayhem when put down the good tasting food. Go to Orangetheory.

He is declared the winner of the Presidential election. He is being called the President-Elect. It took longer than I wanted but in the end it worked out. Feel fantastic.
