Wanted something easy, flat and nearby. Parked at ice rink and started walking toward locked gate road in Los Alamos Canyon but lab employees told me I couldn't walk on it and there was a no trespassing sign so I gave up. I just now emailed the lab asking why the public can't walk on that road now because the public has been walking on it for a while now. I didn't notice the no trespassing sign before this and maybe it's new.
Drove up to Dome Road FR 289 and parked off NM4 across from Cerro Grande parking lot. I did jogging intervals out to Graduation Flats and back.
I carried my golf umbrella and had to use it twice but no hail, thunder or lightning - my kind of rain!
Mists hung over Rabbit Ridge, Scooter Peak and Cerro Grande - very pretty!
Admired iris clumps and golden banner (golden pea). Golden banner reminds me of Easter. With my near-sighted eyes, the round portion of the blossoms on the flower spike look like tiny, yellow Easter eggs or even like yellow, marshmallow chicks.
Drivers go very fast on Dome Road. Only saw two but they could slow down when they pass a pedestrian! Also, one of them didn't move over at all but took the middle of the road, going through some small puddles. I got way over as soon as I heard any vehicle coming. I invented a new word that will be parental-control friendly to describe such drivers: anal-orifices!
Lawyer joke: Why bury a lawyer six feet under? Because deep down, they're nice!
