Watch people?
No.
I would rather go in the woods or swamps and watch wildlife.
That is a lot more relaxing and interesting.

The best people watching is at the Villages FL. Just go down to one of the squares between 6pm to 9pm.

This is true. My husband paints and is obsessed with sky and sea as subjects recently. He pointed out that if you really take a beat and look at the sky…its an amazing backdrop. If someone had never seen it and suddenly did, the color and movement would be overwhelming.

Worth looking at for a minute.

I sit and watch the world burn.

My parents' house backs off to the tee box at hole 2 of a local golf course. Earlier this week there was a college girls golf tournament there so I spent plenty of time sitting on the back porch watching the world go by. Those skirts blow in the wind a lot more now that NIL is a thing.

Not often, but the other night I was driving back from the LSU game and drove past a town park somewhere in Oklahoma. There were a bunch of guys playing pickup basketball and then 3 or 4 high school aged kids just sitting on top of the skate ramp sitting and chatting. I thought to myself, I'm not sure I'll ever feel that amount of freedom and laissez faire attitude for life as I did at that age and that those kids were having then.

I try to. I don't have a swing or the like, so I'll take a fold up chair and sit usually in the driveway and read or just watch the birds

Not as much as I’d like to.

I always smile seeing that or kids playing in the yard. It brings me back to that age and an appreciation for life.

Every Saturday morning I take my 14 month daughter on adventures while my wife cleans the house and FaceTimes her Mom in San Diego and sister in Virginia. We usually go to the park and walk the trails on her bike and then hit up Rouses for the weekly grocery shopping before Football starts. Started this a year ago. My weeks goes by faster looking forward to my 4-5 hours of just me and my daughter. She can say Geaux Tigers and roar like a Tiger now.
