This was a perfect morning for a walk, and before 9 am I had logged over 5,000 steps and done 2 good deeds. First, I came upon a cigarette lighter on the sidewalk – walked by it – but went back to pick it up so some little kid wouldn’t find it and get hurt. Then I got a little nervous when a car slowed down and opened the passenger side window. Turned out all he wanted was directions to Blue Heron Country Club, but I might have gone with him if he had offered me circus peanuts. I’ve had circus peanuts on my mind lately. For those of you who don’t know what they are, circus peanuts are this marshmallowy, orangish candy in the shape of a peanut. Either you love them or you hate them. But I digress…  As I was saying, I gave the man directions, and he went on his way and I went on mine, getting back to the house energized for the day.
