Still off the morning runs. Has led to a more civilian rising hour. Just going with it for the nonce. Inauspicious place for the early run (the city has many interesting things about it, but I think even its partisans would concede that it's not California in that respect), and resting the ligatures a bit after a month of lengthening the morning course in the last city. (Up to six or seven miles, I think. Incentivized by the fact that I had to run out of the urban areas to the idyllic forested parts by the rivers.)
Separately -- my route took me past the museum of contemporary art there, which apparently has a practice of playing exotic and threatening bird calls in the mornings to keep the flocks of crows away. Strange how an organization's purpose can be reflected in all of its works. Hegel: the cunning is more than the conscious.
I'm a very big fan of that city. Much more civilized than comparable cities within world powers. Non-aligned. Big military parade next week, though. I spent many evenings at the sbux across from the redesigned space in front of the parliament, and the redesign of the street really does give a Red Square vibe.
But as for today, no run. When I return to it, I will return to it. Now that I am not doing it, I am not doing it.
