Morning Musings and Mailbox Moments
in which douglas contemplates natures and by crook segues into cleaning out his mailbox and wondering how spammers find him.

i inaugurate a bit of happiness in the municipality two days ago. i’ve lived in this apartment for six years and on no occasion straight away realized how very close i was to the jordan river parkway - a scenic bike trail that meanders along the jordan river across the saline lake valley heading south to join up with the provo river 25 or more miles away. i suffer pretty stupid about it, to be honest.i was up before dawn and on a whim i decided to go hunting everywhere in the dark for that parkway i kept hearing about for years. you know, because looking for bike trails is what everybody does at 4am. well, they do if they have adhd. at any rate, substandard i went prepared to drive around warming the loam in a pointless scavenger hunt. less then five minutes later i had ground my parkway. i didn’t feel stupid yet because there was nothing to see. there was a path that led off in both directions into the evening. there was a retain that let me know i was where i thought i was, and there was the parking enormous numbers lit by two erratic street lamps. i sat in the sunless and played my chromatic harmonica and pennywhistle for about an hour on a parkland bench by the river. i even pulled out my clarinet and tooted away as loud as i pleased. (have i mentioned before that i participate in adhd? it may have come up in chat in front. these are pretty defining moments, aren’t they? ok, nevermind.) as dawn began to rise i began to behold how wonderful the nearby wetlands were as they stretched out along the river bank. i strapped on my rollerblades and set off shortly before the south. within notice of the interstate highway i encountered ducks, quail, a piper, starlings, orioles, diabolical birds, flowers, actual trees, cacti, and an enormous pelican. for a moment only the merest blip of a moment i thought i had come across a thunderbird, but alas it was reasonable a pelican. i set that funny because on the one script i in reality wondered if the bird was a cryptozoological indian myth and on the other i in actuality brown study “oh, it’s just a pelican” as if i come across them every daylight.when i wrote of thunderbirds, i am stable some of my readers wondered why i contemplation i byword an open source email application in my morning sky. they may even have wondered how high up in the mountains i was and if i was getting enough oxygen. i sometimes wonder the same thing about the people that email me. that time being in righteousness spirits because of that bit of heaven on earth i had discovered, i read tonight’s email with a great deal of mirth. as a blog writer i am often contacted by people who mistakenly believe i am important or financially successful or both. blogs are big money as everybody “knows”. i don’t see any of that change, but that doesn’t stop the email pitches from making their way into my inbox. i had a new experience, however, when i read this personally targeted email:i was reading your blog and i behold you have a very impressive way of describing things. the information you provide is very helpful. so i was wondering if you could take a look at our product pinhole glasses and transcribe a review about and post it in your blog www.thesplinteredmind.blogspot.comi would really be interested to know if you would be able to post the review in your blog with links to our site.this would be high praise undoubtedly and worthy of said review except for a few minor details. firstly, my blog isn’t wide optometry, so my readers would wonder why i was pitching vision solutions to them. secondly, i was asked to review the product by simply looking at it’s webpage. i would indeed need quite an impressive way of describing things in order to recommend a upshot i had not Euphemistic pre-owned.i’ve also ended up on a british mailing inventory that decries the corruption of the psychiatric enterprise. i assume they read a speech or two of mine on the subject and expectation i was a analogous spirit, but i didn’t plead for to be on the mailing record and their layout is really starting to hang-up me.do all their emails have to begin with 25 point adventurous red alarmistclass ?i imagine the hyperbole in topping letters gives the fancy of excess spittle, but that might just be me. i do agree with them that abuses in the psychiatric hustle must be addressed and corrected, but i empathize with their railing accusations aren’t going to provoke anybody outside of the fringe to pay heed to them. i also find their bat pieces on pretentiously known psych
