The way I worded that is weird but I'm too tired to figure out how to make it better3

A soccer ball with a face drawn on and a knife in the top of it...6

I found a women's Discover card on a run.
No I did not use it. I cut it up.
Worst find was a pair of men's underware.1 -
I walk the same trail every Saturday and Sunday morning. I go over a bridge of that trail that I hook up to about 1/4 mile down, but I kept seeing people walking under the bridge, so I thought I would try it. It was last year. The day after Daylight Savings time. I walked down to the river that the bridge goes over. I turned the corner and was under the bridge. I walked right into about a dozen homeless people. Shooting up meth. Everyone stopped and looked up at me. I wasn't about to turn back. I just walked through the middle of them herfing on my cigar. Got about half way through when the alpha male looked up. I said, "Hey, did you guys remember to set your clocks ahead an hour?" and kept moving. I don't go under that bridge any more, but it is still occupied.4

LOL!!!!! OH dear. Good thing you reminded them about that pesky Daylight Savings Time!0 -
Nothing weird but I did find a baby turtle one time, it was so cute and I wanted to take it home but I let it go back to slowly crossing the trail.4

No picture, but last summer I found a sealed 11x17 magnetic wipe board w/marker on the side of the road. It's on my fridge. Now, if I could just find cash...1

I usually walk about sunrise on the weekend. About 10 years ago, some guy tried to jump me from behind as I was on a bridge going over Johnson Creek. I threw him into Johnson Creek. Came home and told my wife about it. She got all upset. Told me that I shouldn't be walking on this trail because of the homeless people taking over. I've been walking this trail since 1990. Not going to get run off. So, to placate my wife, I got my Carry Permit and started bringing a pistol with me. 8 years go by. No problem. Then, one day, I decide to go at sunset rather than sunrise. I pass some guy and I notice he's paying too much attention to me. Walked about a mile and looked back to see he was about 200 yards back. Went another 1/2 mile and looked back and noticed he was about 100 yards back. Came up over a hill and saw two other guys coming towards me about 100 yards away. Looked behind me and the other guy had closed the gap to about 20 yards behind me. I stopped. Everybody else stopped. One of the two guys in front of me, pulled a machete out and started swinging it at the bushes along the trail. I pulled my Remington out, jacked a round in the chamber. Everybody turned and ran. I didn't tell my wife about it. She'd probably ground me.12

Damn ... Can you imagine if you didn't have the pistol with you .
This is exally why I don't want to walk alone when I do my walks !
I have been walking that trail for over 30 years now. See a lot of the same people all the time. Over the last 10 years, because of the homeless problem, they have, at times, taken it over. I've only had a confrontation 4 times in that 30 years. What really bothers me though, and I know it is because of the way I look, sometimes I will come around a bend, or up over a hill and run into a gal, walking alone, coming towards me. I can tell, when she looks at me, that she is immediately fearful. Makes me feel like shlt. They are probably safer than any other time, when they are near me, but I can see that they are scared. They take out their cell phone or don't make eye contact. Can't help the way I look.

I was jogging and found a sterling silver bracelet on a dead end wooded road in Kentucky. I figure she was joy riding in the passenger seat with her hand out of the window and whoops!1

I'd walk with you in a second. In fact, in your area, I think that's the ONLY way I'd walk!0 -
