Gee, how spoiled am I? The MUP I use a lot has a mix of fast and slow cyclists, runners, joggers, walkers, skaters and dogs. All of the dog owners are amazing. Some have very obedient dogs that are right next to them on the grass, others pull their dogs over and practice "sit" and, like gnat's, one or two have the right tone of whistle. One whistle and plop that doggie sits--very cool to watch.

Of course, this trail also has well-behaved bikes, too. Rarely do you get a pair that won't single file when passed or when there is oncoming traffic. Parents actually teach their kids to ride to the right.

I won't, however, get started on ipods with the volume cranked.....
