From: Jack •• ~.~~!!I!I!~"I!I!I" Sent: Wednesday, July 03, 2013 04:46 PM To: Chris Fonseca Subject: Lines on paths [ADDENDUM]
Hi again Chris:
With some trepidation of flogging a horse to death, © I've attached a photo of the trail just west of 10th line and 2
blocks south of Thomas St. As you can see (and are probably aware), this trail does have lines. Why I thought of taking
this picture is that some guy actually apologized to me for being on the "wrong" side of the line (my right, his left). To
me, this demonstrates the subtle influence the presence of lines engender.
Jack
