After a week that I feel could be definitive proof that all people are crazy all the time, I decided to take the time after escaping the office Friday to take Key to do a long exploration of Minto-Brown Park (one of the treasures of Salem.)

We saw a good variety of birds.

And Key had a grand ol’ time sniffing along and getting excited every time a squirrel or rabbit came out.

The problem arose when we came to a muddy little pond. As we went by a frog jumped. And Key jumped after him.

Umm… dude, you’re disgusting.

Oh, that’s a problem? I’ll just rub it off here in this delicious, stinky dead grass.
