today's meanders

While walking again into the Tun'a Valley along Davis Street (where one rooftop holds thatch-type greenish-brown moss), the remains of a mammal (oops it's a deer, not a coyote described in locale media as trespasser within Oak Hill cemetery?) were found lying in the roadway near Hanley Park  --  sort of a half-pelt presentation with one ear and a few teeth  --  that had to be carefully rolled together with one foot and removed from a traffic lane.  [The remains match the description of a baby deer shown in a televised video, being defended by another deer as a black-and-white cat and a black-and-white dog circled the young creature.]

Further downslope, Springtime at a Tun'a Creek concrete access ramp no longer reveals a metal posts-and-chain barrier combination that in the past dissuaded nonnecessary access.  At the present time, an orange PVC roadway cone bobbing in the creek has hinted that perhaps some kind of square sliding-track set-up, set into tar, might anchor the newer, more flexible cones to further dissuade such access without harming any wheeled conveyances that just might roll into the creek anyway (while alleviating concerns about the temptation to place and watch shopping-cart movement into and within creek waters).

At the library (BAPL), the Bradford Journal and Miner dated 4-15-2010 presented a series of photographs taken in Callahan park, one of which claimed to show 'The Beach at Callahan', "...Bennett Brook Beach...", where a trio of young ladies actually sat on a pile of gravelly dirt at the foot-or-vehicle creek ford area of the brook where various vehicles can be driven through the creekbed water into/out from the high school parking lot.  The creekbed water is about six inches deep but holds flat rocks that cover a variety of aquatic creatures.  Weeks ago, a metal bullet-shell was found embedded in the waterline soil, where it was examined and ended up in the water among other parkgoers--an action corrected with evening TV journalism that described a robbery in Buffalo NY.

Return walk to this Pleasant Street address in Bradford PA showed yet another lengthy cigarette drop along Center St., across the street from the Choice service station.  Further upslope, yet another aged treestump alongside North Center Street seems perennial.  Not far from the corner of Pleasant St. and N Center St. is this visually impressive sewer-tunnel cover set into the sidewalk, lettered 'Jamestown Iron Works' from Jamestown NY.
