… Everyone else, get the heck out of the way!

*I changed the title of this post from "Exercising in the Park" to the one above after reading Bonnie Luria’s comments in my comment section.  I thought it was a more appropriate title.  LOL!  Thanks for the inspiration and the laugh, Bonnie.

This man shows up every morning and does some kind of martial arts exercise.  First he does it free style, slashing the air with his hands and doing kung fu/karate kick moves.   The second part of his exercise routine consists of using a long pole.  His stick seems to be at least 6 feet in length.  He raises his heavy-looking stick and thrusts it forward and twirls it.  He jabs at the air with vigor.  First forward, then to his left and then right.  He pauses for a second or so and starts all over again.  When I pass by him, I try to stay  out of his way as much as possible.  I don’t want to get hit.  It would probably be better if he chose a place where no one passes by.  He’s in the path of runners, joggers, bikers, people walking their dogs, people walking to work, etc…  I suppose he’s never hit anyone with his big stick.  Yet.
