Temperature: 80*
Bush Park, Salem OR, the it feels like low 80s in temperature today. I call this observation “the other corner of Bush Park”. I’m facing east this time, sitting on a green picnic table. Theses tables seem to form a deformed circle, and in the middle are trees. Also within this deformed circle of tales there’s a man walking back and forth. This man looks like he’s in his late forty’s or earl fifty’s. He’s wearing a blue polo, with a red stripe cross his chest. He seems to be wondering around, he is moving his arms in front of this chest constantly while walking back and forth. Why is he doing this? I ask my self. As I look again he’s on the ground, and is doing some push-ups. I guess he must have been worming up his arms for some intense push-ups. Later he gets up and leaves the circle of tables. Looking further east there is a playground. Two little girls seem to enjoy playing with each other. As I look to the right I see the dad and grandparents watching their little girls play.
