ETYMOLOGY OF PERAMBULARE


Originally the Latin perambulatus, a past participle of perambulare, came from per- through and ambulare- to walk in 1568.  

Now, we use the word perambulate, which means to walk or travel through or around an area, especially for pleasure or in a leisurely way.  Perambulare has also been known for distinguishing what historical walks are by officially asserting and recording boundaries.

"GO CUBS"

Towards the end of the baseball season, (specifically for the Cubs) I found this homage to that historic ball club.  The flag was facing Lake Michigan and there is a tiny sign that reads GO CUBS.  I am no sports fan, but I do really enjoy the idea of the pass-time, especially an "all american" one.  And what I think I really enjoy is the fact that this piece seems to have not been contrived, but was designed while passing time.  (I base this off of the little doggie prints in the sand.)  There was no mission planned, no preparation, no materials, no real presence or concern for structural integrity, just time.  This fan seemed to have mirrored the hopeful and enduring pride of this great ball club by casually constructing this sad intervention.  My hat goes off to you.
