That would be fitting because Flint critiques a lot.

for the last ?16 summers I have spent the penultimate week of July volunteering at the county summer swim championships, marshaling approx 2000 swimmers aged 4-18. For the last ?6 I have been the head marshal and am known for my duck/duct tape on the ground to direct flow and help get swimmers lined up into heats and into the pool, on the blocks, on time for the right race and in the right lane. I'm pretty damn good at it.

This year, championships aren't happening.

Tonight, someone in my neighborhood organized food trucks to come in lieu of their usual block party which can't happen. She mentioned she'd be there setting up and putting Xs on the ground to help people socially distance while waiting to order from the trucks, so at the last minute I decided to grab all the left over duck tape I had from last year's swim championships and head on over just in case I could help. Found them just starting to try and tape Xs made out of wooden paint sticks to the ground with decorator's tape and realizing it wouldn't work....

....so I ended up spending a little of my summer duck-taping the ground in bright colors to tell people where to stand anyway

Ann Arbor has a very famous Art Fair (well several of them running concurrently) in the third week of July. Cancelled this year, obviously) So I suggested to my Parkrun group (who are quite into using Strava to create "art") that we could have a StravArt Fair. Tonight -whilst looking for a double curve to make the Parkrun logo- I spotted this route possibility....

(When I told Pologirl I had a juvenile moment during this activity, she immediately asked if I had drawn a dick. So I'm double-amused )
