Day 4,445—the Park Tour on Father’s Day 2026!—

  Start time: 9:06 a.m. Weather: Mid 70s, wind 10.5 mi/h, Humidity 74%   I went through the nice neighborhood first. I have watched this massive home get built through the years. It looks like they will be done sometime this year. It is amazing how much changes when you’re standing still. Almost every business within a one-mile radius of me has changed in the past five years. It is interesting to see a place like Fuzzy Taco’s close. When it opened six years ago, it was so popular, but then it was randomly announced that it was closed.   Next, I went through the trail around the retirement community. It is only about a mile, scenic, usually vacant, and I enjoy listening to the birds. After that, I go through the bird sanctuary in Blackburn Park. It is unusually busy today, and I see two people immediately as I run up the hill, making the most of the quarter-mile trail. Then I go back to Shrewsberry, stop, and take a picture of a flower in a tree, trying to get one in focus...
