The fact that the hallway at work is being painted AND somebody microwaved fish definitely violates some sort of international treaty on human rights or chemical weapons.

I walked through the Great American State Fair in DC and it is as pathetic as everyone is saying. It is extremely bare bones and what is there is just sad.
If you have a local county fair, go there instead.
I have a black eye from a recent medical procedure, but I have been telling people at work I got it at the UFC event. This is probably credible, even for spectators.

The metro train on the way back at least had scenic views of rowers on the Anacostia River and kids playing soccer at the Fields at RFK.
Somebody brought a FANCY CAT on a leash to Lincoln Park and the 5 National Guard troops are doing NOTHING. What is even the point, my dog would like to know.
Get excited, America. Your national state fair will be housed in a series of classically styled plywood mausoleums.

It's a beautiful, cool day. The Potomac River is on one side and the swampy remnants of the canal on the other. The path is smooth packed gravel. I can hear the birds and water now that the scrum of walkers has spread out. About 10k so far.

@nikkid@thepit.social @cshlan@dawdling.net I am sure they will figure it out. I could.have done Cash App, Venmo, or Paypal which were all needed for PTA activities over the years.
We gave checks to some kids who are graduating high school. Now I am wondering if they have any idea how to deposit or cash them. #OkGrandpa

20k completed. Stopped for a water refill and assorted snacks: string cheese, banana, orange slices, kettle corn. What we call the coroner's puzzle. I keep passing and leapfrogging a group that is talking about something new each time, beavers, bonsai. Apparently they are only up to the "B"s.
Woke up with a swollen eyelid. I think I got something in my eye when I was cleaning up the garden or pond. The backyard is fighting back and it's winning.
@callan@thepit.social One funnel cake vendor for each state.
I really wanted to like a bike helmet I got on sale from REI, but it made me look like The Great Gazoo. In retrospect, this could have been anticipated.
Calm down everybody. It's just a dry cleaning solvent.
My dog hates the World Cup because I make unpredictable noises, especially as during this Norway vs Senegal match. She got up off the couch and went upstairs.

Coming up on 30k. I was feeling sore the last 5k, but I revived at the rest stop. I had to double back to look for my cheap sunglasses, but I guess they are a sacrifice to the trail gods. Passed a guy with a tripod and telephoto lens set up to watch peregrine falcons at Point of Rocks, MD.
