Today’s Thursday Picture was taken in San Mateo County near the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District’s La Honda Creek Open Space.
I work in Engineering and Construction. In this world, straight lines represent order. Engineers love order. I know that I do. I know that we all seem to be pretty good with numbers, and most of us are common-sense types of people. But, sometimes, it drives me nuts.
For example, I will be out hiking, and catch myself observing that a trail dip isn’t at quite the right angle…or, I wonder why this cattle fence is angled the way it is…
Luckily, when I should be out enjoying myself in the wonders of the natural world, my “left brain” will kick in and shut down my “engineer brain.”
Most of the time. LOL
Get out on the trail! The Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District has some fantastic trails for you to go outside and breathe.
Where are you hiking this weekend?
If you’re looking for me, I’m over the hill.
And spreadsheets! We all love spreadsheets 🙂 I’ll bet you track your hikes and mileage in a spreadsheet, yes?
Ask the trail crew how many times they had to repair that fence from the roadside and that along with a seasonal pond may give you a well-calculated answer.
