Western Canal 10/23/2012 Anyway, I walked to Alma School from the Dobson park there and back.
Western Canal 4/25/2013 bike ride Later today at ten at night, I crashed my bike and hurt myself.
Western Canal 5/15/2013 Coyote woke me up in Flagstaff early so I got back to Chandler early and took a ride on my bike.
Western Canal 4/21/2013 Coyotes howling. I rode my bike. Drank beer. Rested and snoozed.
Western Canal 11/27/2013 Found a cell phone in the drained canal. They're cementing it. Some had water later on. I was there on my bike because a realtor was coming over.
Western Canal 10/29/2012 From E&C Roads to Gilbert I walked. 50 minutes.
Western Canal 10/5/2012 Hot. Started at about 2:30. I left my phone at Whole Foods and had to get that. Walked to Alma School and back to the park.
Western Canal 6/1/2012 Hot. Walked down to Carriage lane and then took the streets to see the neighborhood.
Western Canal 4/29/2012 I didn't have any cheap cola or any cola, so I went to Albertson's and got one coke. Their cheap cola wasn't cheap. Then I bought some IVORY ALOE! WALKED WEST WEST WEST At the canal I WENT SWIMMING when no one was looking. Very refreshing. THE GREEK FESTIVAL IS TODAY, SO I WILL GO ALONE.
Western Canal 7/26/2012 I drove down past Price and the Freeway and got to the canal via back roads through contruction. I walked to McClintoc. Nice nice nice. Nice houses. Big carp. Nice breeze but it was very hot. I sat near some stairs into the water and almost dove in with a mallard there, but decided against it. Wish I could live in one of those big, beautiful houses on the canal.
Western Canal 11/15/2012 I got new tires in the front. They said my brakes needed 670 dollars worth of repair. I took the truck to Goodyear and they fixed it for 288! While I waited for my tires I walked clean to Dobson down the Western Canal.
Elliot and Cooper Roads 4/22/2013 I met Jan and his friend Andrea at Dobson and the Western Canal. We rode to Elliot and Cooper Roads. Then we drove back.
Western Canal 4/14/2013 I met Jan at Dobson and Western Canal and we road our bikes all the way to E&C Roads and then to Gilbert. Later I road my bike to Whole foods and came back at night. Jan gave me a bike!! Sally's expression at the superstitions: a dog's dinner. You made a dog's dinner out of this!
Elliot and Cooper Roads 4/14/2013 I met Jan at Dobson and Western Canal and we road our bikes all the way to E&C Roads and then to Gilbert. TWO BIG COYOTES at Elliot and Cooper when we rode up. They walked away. Later I road my bike to Whole foods and came back at night. Jan gave me a bike!!
Western Canal 10/28/2012 I parked west of price in that parking lot and then walked west and then back and it took 55 minutes. There were people on bikes and walking.
Western Canal 6/28/2013 I rode my bike to the canal and went south well past price up to McClintock and back. I didn't cross McClintock. Went swimming at that one area just west of Dobson and then again at the Pump site and then swam again at the pump site on the way back. I think you could get sucked in at the pump site. Very nice. I fed the mallards. Some were in the water fighting the current and weren't ravenous. Some came right out of the canal up onto the road and I fed them moldy sourdough. It was 118° Fahrenheit today.
Western Canal 5/2/2012 I walked down EAST of Gilbert. Down a ways was VILLAGE II PARK. Nice mini farms at Lindsay and the canal. Sheep, goats, peacocks, roosters and chickens, horses. Nice canal there too perfect for swimming but there would be lots of cars and people to see you. I went into a very quiet and rather rich neighborhood. A guy helped me find my way back to the canal. When I got home I learned that five people had been murdered on Cooper and Warner. A neo Nazi republican-type gun nut with ties to immigration republicans seems to have done it.
Elliot and Cooper Roads 11/18/2012 I walked for an hour and went over the that fair towards taht water tower. Funnel Cakes. Ring of Fire. Lots of rides. los despiadados indios salvajes Lark sparrow was on the western canal. Recorded him there.
Western Canal 11/20/2012 I walked from Dobson two miles to Arizona Avenue and back. Four miles.
Western Canal 4/30/2012 I walked from Elliot and Cooper to gilbert road and back so that was two miles. There was little water in the canal. The wonderful art fountains were dry too. There was a nice animal rescue house there between Neely and Gilbert. Fairly warm. I left a 79-cent 32-ounce Dr. Pepper in the car for when I got back.
Western Canal 10/17/2012 I walked from Rural westward. There was a golf course on the right with no one there and lots of irrigation spraying and nets to protect walkers. Big canal. Big water. Nice. I went to breakfast with Jan Kegelman. The chicken sammy I had was awful. I was late because I didn't take the freeway and the doggoned traffic held me up and College Avenue was closed.
Western Canal 5/6/2013 I was at Jan's last night. He said it would rain today. It was cooler, but it didn't rain and there was a blue sky. Rode my bike.
Elliot and Cooper Roads 4/30/2012 I went and put on my shorts up there and then walked clean to Gilbert Road. See Western Canal notes for this date for more.
Western Canal 10/15/2012 I went at 5:34 and walked to Alma School from Dobson or near there. You know, from the park. It was dark by the time I got back at 6:20. 46 minutes. Day 7 of Atkins and I think I'm quitting. It isn't natural.
Western Canal 10/16/2012 I went from McClintock to Rural. Really nice. I'm quitting Atkins today. Jan Kegelman called me while I was walking. We're meeting at I-Hop tomorrow at eight in the morning. Nice weather. I made my own calorie counting software and will do my own diet.
Western Canal 6/21/2012 I went swimming. It was very hot. Very hot. I walked for more than an hour.
Western Canal 10/13/2012 I went to the water tower in Gilbert from E&C roads. Nice.
Western Canal 4/19/2013 I went today but there's nothing for the twentieth because I GOT A FLAT. Steve picked me up at Gallagher's and I went and got it fixed right away. But that was THE NEXT DAY. Now is the day before.
Western Canal 4/6/2012 I went WEST this time to Price Road and then to McClintock. It was MUCH longer. I will have to check the mileage on line. I thought it seemed longer. MUCH more water and some of it racing. Wider canals and nicer neighborhoods. TURTLES! Yesterday I talked to Jeff Dorris and booked my trip to Ireland. Now I must get ready as it's less than a month away. Very exciting. Only 3633 dollars for everything except a few meals.
Western Canal 4/27/2012 I wore those darned shoes and got a blister on the pad of my foot. Walked west. WATER WATER EVERYWHERE.
Western Canal 7/22/2012 It wasn't too hot. I started walking at 9:49 and was gone a long time. Clean past the freeway I walked. Mexicans playing soccer. Four teams. I think they were from Mexico.
Western Canal 4/22/2013 Jan and his friend Andrea met me at Dobson and the Western Canal. We rode to E&C Roads.
Western Canal 5/23/2013 Jan and I met on the canal and rode to Elliot and Cooper Rds.
Western Canal 6/21/2013 Jan and I rode our bikes all down Western Canal and this is how it happened. Jan called at 8:30 and told me to call when I started, but I dallied and he called and said he was starting and I met him at about McClintock and then we went west clean into Tempe and had breakfast at some joint and then drove down lots of trails and canals. Really nice.
Western Canal 8/22/2012 Listened to telanovelas. I walked down from Alma School to the Park there on Dobson. I walked west this time. Not very hot. Big black clouds coming in.
Western Canal 8/23/2012 Muggy but not that hot. Pretty hot. Glumpy water with algae. Walked from Dobson Park there to Carriage Lane and back.
Western Canal 4/1/2012 My third walk. I started at Dobson and went to the tracks before McQueen. That made the hike about five miles. Nice. Carp in the canal. Listened to the Spanish recordings the whole time. Malachite in the gravel.
Western Canal 10/9/2012 Nice orange dragonfly. I started the Atkins diet yesterday. I drank a club soda at Whole Foods and had some vodka when I got home. Cheaper that way. No carbs in vodka.

Western Canal 11/7/2012 OBAMA WAS RE-ELECTED LAST NIGHT IN A LANDSLIDE! YAY! At whole foods last night there was a lunatic who hated Obama, so he kind of spoiled the fun. I worked on the yard yesterday so I didn't walk. Jan came by today. Then I walked from Dobson to Alma School.

Western Canal 5/16/2012 One-hour walk to a bit beyond Price.
Western Canal 5/22/2012 Parked over at that McQueen Park and Walked to Elliot and Cooper Roads but I had already been there, so I just went back. It was really hot, so I put my shirt in the park lake and put it on. Then I was freezing. There was a couple lying under the tree in the grass.
Western Canal 10/11/2012 Rather cool and breezy. I started at Alma School and walked all the way to Dobson. I parked in that parking lot at Alma School and the Western Canal. I am doing Atkins. I drank vodka last night. It seemed to have no effect on me, so I drank some more and feel only just a little strange today. Working on Sibelius and I am making a rule that I can't touch the program until I've done my other projects because it's so addictive and time-consuming.
Western Canal 4/28/2013 Road my bike to Elliot and Cooper Roads.

Western Canal 4/3/2012 Sally and I went.
Western Canal 4/5/2012 Sally went back. Steve and she and I and Sonny ate at the taquería. I saw what appeared to be a SMALL MOUTH BASS IN THE CANAL.
Western Canal 6/13/2012 See E&C Roads for notes on this.
Western Canal 5/26/2012 Some schmuck pulled in next to me and stayed in his car. I think he was with a girl, but I walked back and left. I didn't trust him. I drove to the Marlboro area and at the park there there were three youngsters throwing rocks and clods at the slides and stuff. I was annoyed. I walked from there to AZ Avenue and back 45 minutes.
Western Canal 10/31/2012 Started at Alma School and walked east to Arizona Avenue and back. It's Halloween. I ruined today's diet because I ate candy. Snickers bars. Little ones. I could not help myself. I am throwing all that candy out.
Western Canal 4/2/2012 Steve and I went. He didn't have a sub job.
Western Canal 3/30/2012 The first walk here. I parked my car at the park and walked down the canal where there were lots of other people walking and I went clean to Arizona Avenue and I came back and it was four miles and it took an hour and ten minutes 8:40-9:50. It was nice. Some horribly ratty houses on the canal but mostly nice ones. Very pretty and I will now go every morning and listen to my spanish recordings and go even an extra mile maybe. Very nice indeed. Tilapia and tons of carp.
Western Canal 10/25/12 The neighbor put out her recyling, so I guess she's all right. She picked up the can too. Walked to Alma School Road from the Dobson park there. I went to the oral surgeon and he said my graft was better and it didn't need any more diddling.
Western Canal 11/5/2012 The security man at the canal and Price kicked me out of the parking lot. It's private property. I went a mile down and parked near McClintock and then walked to Rural and back. Rodrigo's having his roof fixed. Police had a ribbon cutting off Colt Road there on the left looking south. The fireman told me there was an incident but no crime.
Western Canal 3/31/2012 This is my second walk down the Western Canal. I started at Alma School and went to McQueen and then Elliot and Cooper Roads. Very nice. Good exer! Listened to the Spanish tapes.
Western Canal 8/2/2012 This was from McQueen Park to E&C Roads.
Western Canal 6/8/2012 This was when I first saw the HALE THEATRE and went to the show the same night. TO KILL A MOCKING BIRD. I went to the water tower too. Nice. Walked more than an hour. The Postino Restaurant was packed on a Friday noon.
Western Canal 5/3/2013 Too my bike. A little wind. Not too hot. I forgot my sunscreen.
Western Canal 1/8/2013 Took a walk before I went to my talk at the Gilbert Community Center. Some idiot was driving a tote goat motorcycle down the canal. A bunch of beefy jerks were out fixing their 'cycles out next door to the house that I thought might be nice to live in. At least I don't have those jerks living around here.
Western Canal 11/14/2012 Took an hour walk to Gilbert and back. I wore jeans. I wore sun screen because the sun was hot. There was a fair being set up with rides. Funnel Cakes. Ring of Fire was one ride. Another the somethingorother Faroah. I took pictures of the 1958 sidewalk.
Western Canal 11/2/2012 Walked 2 1/2 hours from McClintock to Rural and way beyond past the golf course.
Western Canal 5/1/2012 Walked a bit beyond price to the RUSHING WATERS. Then back. Not too hot today. Found a dead bird that looked like a vireo. I thought it might be a verdin, but I don't know.
Western Canal 5/20/2012 Walked about fifty minutes from Cooper to Gilbert Road. When I came back I was on the south side of E&C Roads when I saw a gopher sticking his head out of a gopher hole. Yesterday on the Western Canal between Dobson and Alma School I saw an antelope ground squirrel.
Western Canal 11/9/2012 Walked around the place. Yesterday I found that Gayle hadn't been talking about me in her post on FB. Thank goodness. I hung out last night with Milt. He is a navy man. We talked to a guy who went to catholic school and became an atheist. Cara and Kyle are moving to Nevada. I came to the bar very early but it was so packed I couldn't find a seat. Some guys let me sit with them. It was STOUT beer day.
Western Canal 6/22/2012 Walked down for forty minutes or so. Hot. Walked back and drove to Jan's. We hung out at his house.
Western Canal 10/4/2012 Walked down to Alma School Road and back. When I got back, Jan called and wanted me to help him move a pinball machine. We went to that old Fire House Restaurant now a dive bar and took it out. Then we drove to Thomas Road in Phoenix to the Long Wongs there (very weird place full of crazy junk) and we took one of Jan's machines out of there and put the one from Tempe in there.

I bought a big IPA, some sea weed, some blue cheese, and some crackers. Sally came down. We went to Rosita's. When we came back someone had smashed a big limestone rock on my sidewalk way inside. We couldn't figure it out. It seemed as if it had fallen from the sky. It was actually a rock from the Del Rio formation in Austin or it was from Wendy's house in Texas. It had a fossil on it. Rodrigo told me the next mourning that someone had smashed some tile of his and knocked over all the garbage bins. I found that someone had knocked my lizard off the gate.

Elliot and Cooper Roads 8/2/2012 Walked here from McQueen Park on the western canal. I was hot and drank all my ice water and Steve came and picked me up. I sat at the firemen's picnic table.
Western Canal 7/15/2012 Walked more than an hour down to Price from Dobson. Muggy and rather hot. Yesterday I went to Nancy's memorial party over at Jan's. I saw Rick and Jaime and Gayleen, and Brigham and Lou Dog and Jan's work mates and Julie and Artis Bradbury and Doc Greenley. It rained.

Western Canal 6/3/2012 Walked to Alma School, and it took forty minutes. Looked at houses. Slept at Steve's outside. Oh, it was great sleeping there except some shouting neighbors woke me up at one in the morning. Couldn't hear what they said. Still haven't got my bread from my annuity. I guess it was a Satruday/Sunday collision.
