God, time passes so quickly that I can't even keep up with myself - and I'm barely moving.

I made an approach to the painted bridge last night, though I did not find a way onto the bridge. I probably could have, but I was too afraid to stick around - more on fear later. I learned some new things, though!

There's a third bridge below the Bridge of Art. A wooden footbridge in a "U" shape, and it too is a Path of Spiders. Unlike the upper bridge which had a single fine web between each bar of the rail, this bridge is absolutely filled with webs layered on themselves; silver in the moonlight, with multiple large brown spiders hanging fat and heavy from their strands. Fat from the nightly feasts of mosquitos that breed in the shallows by the shore.

I Feel Ya

"God, time passes so quickly that I can't even keep up with myself - and I'm barely moving."

Thank you for saying that - it's exactly how I feel! I work with the elderly and dying and often during visits, we discuss whether this is just a part of getting older. Seems I used to do five times as much in half the time, and with my chronic health problems, it doesn't seem that I was moving any faster then!

Have a wonderful day!
