no, trespassing.

when we were kids, we'd walk through neighborhood yards all the time. we'd cut through to get to a friend's house or to get to the 7-11 for icees or to get to the lake or to get to school. we were on foot or on bikes, looking for the shortest route. we never even gave it a second thought.

the past couple days, i've run a loop here in the neighborhood that puts me at "done" in terms of mileage before i'm back to the main drag. so, the easiest, quickest, simplest, plainest, most straightforward way to get home is to cut through the yards.

it's the same concept now as it was then, so why does it feel like trespassing?
