This walk in the Easthills neighborhood featured a tremendous amount of tension. There was quiet drama. I don’t know if it was impending storm clouds, the grass brown and dormant already in mid-June, the number of people out despite the heat. But it was unique, memorable, enjoyable even. There was just so much atmosphere…  It was dogs barking, planes flying overhead, a truck with a loud exhaust pipe. It was the smell of juniper and spruce trees. These things are everywhere, but there was something about how they came together here that was special.
