where the sidewalk ends


desperate to capitalize on a warmish, sunnyish day, i went on a parka-clad bike ride in my hood and cut through the cul de sacs that outline the growing elida suburbs. these are only a few blocks behind my house and are presently still developing and inching into the country.

it was like 11 am on a thursday so no one was really out in this residential area. everyone was probably at work or school.

this little pup was the only other life i encountered while rolling through there. he was sitting on the front yard and when i cruised by he sprung up with the momentum of an attack dog and started yapping in my direction. i thought maybe he'd run beside me while i rode around, but as soon as he got to the edge of the sidewalk, he halted abruptly.

thats when i realized that he had this goofy electric collar on his little cotton-y neck. poor little guy.
