After a quarter century as a publican followed by a decade+ as a staff writer/cheerleader for the local school district, a rookie retiree hits the streets he ran as a boy, walking them back and forth in time with his dog. A formerly weekend routine becomes a daily one with unexpected payoffs besides good exercise. Walking in his late father's footsteps as well as his own boyhood ones, he rediscovers himself and the hometown he thought he already knew. His first "season" of retirement becomes the best summer since little league as he chases home runs at the local ballpark, and a volunteering assignment at a municipal cemetery restores some of his waning faith in America by reminding him to salute the old soldiers he meets there. Not to mention the cross-pollination of the area's Little Free Libraries that's accomplished over the course of flight-of-the-bumblebee walking routes. To top it all off, the territory's cleaner of litter, and there's a jingle in the old guy's pocket to go along with the renewed bounce in his step thanks to his policing of the grounds. Passersby who wondered how a dog of such apparently high breeding ended up with a vagrant will find proof in A Scavenger's Digest that the pair was actually busy doing field research for a chronicle of daily pilgrimage.
