Walkscape Now!

Sitting out on the Oval with the Walkscape Scroll--across from me is Preacher Tom ("I never thought I could be going to hell"); to my left, Students for a Sustainable Campus in veggie costumes, accompanied by a fiddle-and-banjo duo; to my right, a Greek group quarter-pitching for cancer research ("win a beer mug"); somebody selling paintball tickets; an Obama insignia. Meanwhile, all around, it's carnival--bare flesh, frisbee, flirting and high spirits of various kinds.

It's an ironic coincidence that our day here began, just after 10 am, with a collision between two bicycles that left one young man with a concussion. Walking is safer, for sure.
