Got home a little later tonight and chatted with the Boy. The Carl surprised me by asking me if I wanted to go for a walk. Of course I said yes. It was 7:30 ish (missing Jeopardy!) so it was a bit later than our other walks.

Back to Green Lake for a quick walk around. Now Carl is a counter, and he inquired as to what we should count. I decided that it was probably a bit late for strollers (the wheeled variety), and went with Cell Phones. Carl chose dogs. Amazingly, during the 3 mile walk we saw 10 dogs but only 3 Cell Phones in use. And 2 of the cell phones were really the same phone with the same talker as we passed her the second time. One cell phone a mile. I would never have guessed it would be such a small number. Now we did not count the total number of people passed in the three miles so can not report on the frequency of use per population. And certainly there were many fewer (figure that one out – it’s late) people than on our earlier walks, so while the cell phones per mile number would certainly be higher, perhaps the cell phones per person would be similar.

Anyway, that is probably a good thing (to not have so many cell phones). It’s not really a contest, but I would have had more to count if I had chosen I-pods.
