It was midday now and Stetson was growing restless to move on so he decided to get up off the bench and stretch in preparation for a walk that would take him past the computer city café. He was really enjoying the outdoors now. After he stretching he was off and walking as opposed to off and running.

There were still know people around witch suited Stetson just fine. He wondered what they could be doing and then he realised that the final game of the CBA(Comedian Basketball league was on and everyone was probably watching that. He read in the newspaper that the CBA finals was projected to have the biggest viewing audience of the year. Almost everyone in computer city would have their televisions tuned to the game. Except Stetson who did not watch Basketball. Weightlifting was his favorite sport to watch. He also liked watching Bodybuilding competitions. He could not imagine lifting all those heavy weights himself but, he did imagine what it would be like sometimes though he knew that he would never be able to become a bodybuilder because he could not stand being around so many people all the time. But, who knows he thought someday he might enjoy being around people and become a bodybuilder. Stranger things have happened.

The sidewalks were still bad down by the waterfront but, still walkable barely. The sun was now starting to get a little cooler and the breeze was picking up He walked past the computer city bakery and could smell the fresh bread and pastries the were baking and set out in the display cases. He wished he could go in and buy one but there were people in the baker so he did not want to go in and she he just had to walk by.

The bakery on the outside was just as beautiful as the pastries on the inside. It was a turn of the century building. The twentieth century not the twenty-first century. It had beautiful molding and the paint job was pink and white and every window had flower boxes with flowers that had spectacular blooms. The flowers were replaces as soon as they stopped blooming so that people walking by would always have fresh flowers to view as the walked by the bakery.

Stetson kept on walking with dreams of pastries and cakes in his head. He heard planes flying overhead again and he wondered again where the plane came from and what airline it was from. He kept waking for about a block until he walked by the computer city ice cream parlor. It was an old time ice cream parlor with furniture and waiters and waitresses in fifties uniforms. He had been in the ice cream parlor once and even had a cup of chocolate chip ice cream.
