Walk in the Quarry Park on a Monday evening: Many sights.

So, the other Monday I went for a walk in the quarry park.

On the way there, on the street right before the quarry park, I saw a(n old) (Chinese) woman out in her front yard hoeing and making the entire thing a garden, and it was all turned over except for this big tall tiger lily just standing up in the middle of the yard among the earth mounds.

As she hoed, she was also talking to a friend who was leaning against the fence.

At the park, as I was picking up trash in an old potato bag, I was walking down the main path, and there was this (young) (Asian[-American?]) couple, and as they passed by, the girl was like, “Thank youuuuuuu,” with no discernible accent, but perhaps pitches and length to her words (is she a recent immigrant with good language skills, or did she largely grow up here?).

Afterwards, as I strolled back down the main drag, there was a bunch of people out by the two ballfields, and a white dog was leaning out of the window of an SUV and sticking its head into this circle of a young (Mexican-American) ballteam and their (female) coach who were gathered on the sidewalk next to one of the ballfields, probably for a post-game debrief before everyone's parents came to pick them up.

At that point, I was getting hungry and still had to cook that night, too, so I popped into the minimall McDonald’s for a cone and then decided to get a burger, too.

As I was seated by the window counter, two (short) (fat) (Mexican) women next to me were pointing up to a two-sided “2 for $3” poster hanging in the front window, and the one was explaining to the other all the difference combinations of food you could get, medium fries and a jalapeno Chicken sandwich, or a jalapeno chicken sandwich and a double hamburger, etc. etc. etc.
