Park People

There is a weird trend happening at a park close to my work where I eat lunch sometimes. I have noticed this before, even at other parks but today I was extremely baffled by my fellow park people. The weird trend is that almost all of the people that go to this park during their lunch hour, choose to stay in their cars with the windows rolled up just staring at the nature that is very accessible just 2 feet in front of them. This baffles me to no end! I feel like I am the butt of these park people's joke and they know something I don't, like if I step too far into the luscious green grass with the beautiful colorful leaves falling, that the ground is going to swallow me whole. I really don't get it! Today I counted 13 cars with one person in each all holed up on this beautiful day. In fact, as I was sitting on the dare I say picnic table, I noticed a man looking at me in awe that I was actually going to do it. I was actually sitting OUTSIDE at a PARK eating a SANDWICH! What is wrong with me? What am I thinking, enjoying nature and the sights and sounds of it all for the mere moments I get during my hectic 9 hour day? Maybe they are too insecure to eat lunch alone or maybe what is playing on their radio is just too good to trade in for nature's song you hear in the park. Either way, all I know is these park people are missing out. They are missing the prettiness of Fall in Ohio and probably what will be the last nice days for months to come. I plan to enjoy it while it lasts.
