Do you ever just sit and watch the world unfold in front of you?
Somedays when I sit in my office waiting for the words to come, I just stare out my window and silently observe what’s in front of me.
What kinds of things do I observe? Well, there’s the pavilion and public restroom, as seen above. Sometimes the restroom doors are open all night, lights on (my bedroom closet overlooks the same buildings) and somedays they are closed but I never see anyone approach the building, so I wonder who is opening it?
As for the pavilion, there is a silver car that regularly drives up to it, where the driver parks, gets out and takes a seat. Occasionally the driver Is joined by other people, and I’m curious, what is so significant about that space that the silver car visits it a couple of times a week? To be sure there are other cars that stop over there, but the silver one is the car I clock the most. Odd 🤔.
And while I was working yesterday, I saw what I thought was a stray dog running joyfully in the field and behind the pavilion. I got up to see if the owner was around when a man strolling and scrolling comes into view. I watched as he lost complete track of the dog, which at this point looked like it might dash into the woods. I watched as the dog took a dump while the man was still trying to get eyes on it (I had the better vantage point 🔭) and then I got pissed because how hard is it to leash your dog or at the very least control it with voice commands? It is not the first time I’ve observed irresponsible dog ownership from my window. And yes, he finally spotted the dog, but what happened next is anyone’s guess as I was distracted by my phone and when Iooked out again, they were gone (probably leaving the dog droppings behind 🙄) Children live around here, so be a responsible owner.
Then there are the drivers who also can’t seem to understand that children live in the neighborhood and speed by daily.
I have watched families walk/ride by, a pregnant woman who walking her dog (on a leash 👍) when it’s cool enough, the mailman that, at times, driving up and down the street making multiple passes/stops. And then there is the man who likes to hit golf balls in the field for hours though he’s been a bit absent lately, I think due to the heat and humidity.
This is just a piece of the world that unfolds in front of me 😊.
I think I should have been a sociologist 😁.
Note: Word flags pissed, yet has no problem with ass? So weird.
