These people just don’t get it.
What’s a dog to do?
Far, far away…
What?
What do you mean, that’s not the way the song goes?
Of course it is.
And I bet if I wait for the people to come back to their car they’ll let me get in and they’ll take me there.
Then I can go swimming.
What do you mean, they wouldn’t want to put up with me in their car for that long?
It can’t be that far away?
It is?
I’d have to go where?
Swamis are all the way in India?
Where’s that? It can’t be that far. We have Indians living all over Arizona.
What do you mean, not the Native American kind of Indians?
There’s other kinds?
I’m totally confused.
What!?
The song I was singing is about the Suwannee River in Florida?
Now, that’s more like it.
Florida can’t be that far away.
It’s in the same country, after all.
I’ve been finding some strange things in the parking lot of my trails lately.
Take this vehicle for instance.
What in the world would anyone be bringing kayaks to my trails for?
There’s no water anywhere on my trails.
Well, sometimes my puddle is there but it’s been missing for a long time.
And sometimes the wash gets filled if it’s been raining a lot.
But even then, I don’t think I’d want to take a kayak down it.
Those kayaks would scrape bottom and probably get big holes in them – and then they’d sink.
Well no, I guess they wouldn’t sink.
The water isn’t deep enough.
.
I decided to give up on why those kayaks would be anywhere near my trails when I ran across another mystery.
This is even worse than kayaks.
There’s not a single window on my trails.
Well, I did see a piece of broken glass – but it didn’t need washing.
I think these two vehicles are in cohorts with each other.
But that might depend on if a man or a woman is driving that car.
I might have to wait to find out who shows up because I’m not sure if the driver is a Window Man or a Wind Woman.
If it’s a Wind Woman I might never find out.
She may have blown away.
***
While I was busy contemplating what had happened to the Wind Woman I saw something else.
And I’ve got a serious problem with the driver of this car.
I guess you can claim most of the earth for yourself…
But these trails are mine!
Got it?
Mine!
