Notes on summer and McCarren Park.

I've started to take a lot of walks in the park now that it's summer. I take myself out daily like a dog. Here are some of my thoughts and observations.

The other day as I was walking on one of the park's paths, I smelled doodie and looked down to see some smeared dog diarrhea covered in flies. As I came closer the flies scattered a bit--as if they were slightly embarrassed to be devouring shit (even though they were like ALL doing it). So I started to wonder. Do they actually eat the shit? If not, what do they do with it? And why aren't flies bothered by the smell of shit and dead things?

I watched a brother and sister throw a frisbee up in a tree. The frisbee didn't come down. I wondered why they threw it up there at all, those idiots. They ran to their mom and pointed at the tree but she just sat in her lawn chair. I figured she would at least get up and try to shake the tree around. But she really liked sitting in that chair I guess.

I was sitting on a bench watching a little girl chasing a little dog that was not on a leash. She grabbed its behind but it was able to get away from her. I wondered if it was her dog. Then the dog's owner walked by with two other dogs on leashes. When she saw some random little girl chasing her dog she screamed at her angrily "Don't do that, don't do that!!!" The girl ran off, terrified. When I left the park I looked at the park rules. It said that all dogs must be on leashes. I felt sorry for that little girl because she got yelled at by some retard woman who didn't read the park rules.
