Wonders #3 and #4
3. The Dog Park at Tom Brown Park.
This Wonder is the place to go when you are feeling jaded and tired and disgusted with the world for various reasons. Here you can let your dog run free, if you have a dog, and imagine that it is you, running through a field of tall grass, tongue lolling out to the side, landing in the mud pit at the corner and wallowing in deep unadulturated pleasure. If you don't have a dog, you can watch them just the same. I realize this might sound kind of creepy, but it isn't bad research. If you are considering getting a dog (like I am), you can observe different breeds, and different individuals of the same breed.
All the dog parents lean against the fence and watch, like teary-eyed mothers on the first day of kindergarten, as their little furry kids run around and make new friends. I like to watch them (the dogs, not the people) form packs and trot around the enclosure. I also really like it when a tiny dog from the little dogs area (they have a separate pen from the big dogs), who has the size and toughness quotient of a jelly doughnut, starts barking and growling at a Rottweiler or something. The big dog stares back, confused. (Why is that gopher barking at me?) The little dog, not to be put off, redoubled his efforts. It's better than the three stooges.
This Wonder is wonderfully free of charge.
Comments:
I like Tally ok, too. It is not too far away from more interesting places, if you do get bored, and they have the basics you need: movie theater, museums, parks, etc. My biggest complaint is that the size lends to lack of employment diversity, and the restaurants are starting to suck. Every time I really like a place that is different, it closes. More food diversity would make it difficult for me to leave!
Alas, there is about an 80% chance we'll have to move when I graduate. :-(
We'll try not to go too far.
