About Linda Schaub

This is my first blog and I enjoy writing each post immensely. I started a walking regimen in 2011 and in 2013 I decided to create a blog as a means of memorializing the people, places and things seen on my daily walks. I have always enjoyed people watching, so my blog is peppered with folks I meet or reflections of characters I have known through the years. Often something piques my interest, or evokes a pleasant memory from my memory bank, so this becomes a “slice o’ life” blog post. I respect and appreciate nature and my interactions with Mother Nature’s gifts is also a common theme. Sometimes the most-ordinary items become fodder for points to ponder over and touch upon. I retired in March 2024 after a career in the legal field. I was a legal secretary for almost 45 years, primarily working in downtown Detroit, then working from my home. I graduated from Wayne State University with a degree in Mass Communications (print journalism) in 1978, though I’ve never worked in that field. I would like to think this blog is the writer in me finally emerging!! Walking and writing have met, shaken hands and the creative juices are flowing in Walkin’, Writin’, Wit & Whimsy. I hope you think so too. - Linda Schaub

      I remember taking tours and we would go on a train to get from one city to another, even one country to another and some people could not face a certain way or else they would get dizzy and some had to put an eye mask on (we knew the itinerary would have train travel) to avoid getting nauseous from being on the train – same for traveling by bus.

    I would never make a good sea bird. I’d be barfing all the time!

      He’s good at calling the shots from his buoy perch CD. I wish I’d had a close-up of him/her but it kept its back turned (same day as the groundhog turning its back on me).

    all our bouys have spikes on top to stop the birds from perching and making a mess

      That’s a good idea Wayne – some of those buoys are in pretty bad shape. This was one of the cleaner ones. It’s hard to tell how lopsided this buoy was from the wake from a big boat that passed by.

    I love this kind of view too, but give me a chaise lounger and solid ground instead.

    Nice shot, Linda. Perhaps the gull is mesmerized.

      Thanks Terri. That could be too – it was looking that way for a long time. A big boat had passed by and the wake left that buoy rocking back and forth; I was sure it would fly off, but it stayed put.

    I’m sure every gull must know that looking out to the horizon prevents sea sickness. 😉
