What's the Hurry?

The view west toward San Mateo from Foster City at 8 a.m.

Without being able to go to the gym, I'm still trying to find my footing: walk, bike, or jog? morning or afternoon? trails or sidewalks? (The trails have more foot traffic.)

The answer seems to be to walk whenever the sun is out and to avoid the trails if there are more than a few people on them. Besides, it's easy to maintain social distancing on sidewalks by moving to the middle of the car-less roads.

One silver lining of the semi-lockdown is that it's forced me to become re-acquainted with the neighborhood. Homeowners have installed solar panels and drought-friendly landscaping.

There are more cars in driveways and parked on the streets because everyone's home. Though some vehicles haven't moved for a week there are no tags for going over the 72-hour limit, one of many rules that's been suspended during these unusual times.

I always yield the right of way to another car, shopping cart, or jogger. What's the hurry?

No baseball at Sea Cloud Park, just geese eyeing dogs warily.
