11 degrees warmer made a delightful difference for my second run in Spartanburg. A long lonely road, which occasionally paralleled the Interstate, provided my morning trek. Quiet and contemplative, the serene run really allowed for reflection on the previous day's adventures in upstate South Carolina. It had been grand.
Along the isolated access road I studied an abandoned building to my left. Somewhere in the past a large box business had enjoyed a highway front, but now the mainstream plaza span with hobby stores and super marts has absconded with the customers and revenues that once belonged to the frontage road companies. Back to the road, I don't where I expected this path to lead. I was surprised as it ended in a small subdivision.
With plenty of time to spare I toured the residential development. No one was out and about; it was much too early for Sunday School and most jobs. Two creatures were stirring, to my dismay, two pit bulls that is. A wave of panic flushed over me as I began considering exit strategies. Luckily the canines were inside an electric fence. I didn't want to test its reliability, so I did an about face and returned to the winding lonesome road that led back to our hotel.
I wonder what happens to electric fences when the power goes out. Yikes!
