7 balls, 9 balls flashing, 3 heavy balls, 5 heavy balls, 225 minutes
(warm, humid, no wind, airless) 3b freestyle, misc - 15 min. Did some more than usual single behind back-s, clawed or penguin catch; got to get to consecutives. 5 heavy balls, 200 gr casc - 15 min. 9b flashing - 30 min. Six times 7 gathers, but partly pretty good patterns in the air. 7b casc - 50 min. So-so. 31, 31, 33, 33, 39, 41 throw runs.
3b freestyle, misc - 15 min. 5 heavy balls, 200 gr casc - 5 min. 7b casc - 95 min. 31 throws seemed to be a strange attractor. (great weather now, wind & cooler). Good runs, good juggling, yet no really long runs, maybe another 41 throws. [ dailyLongestRun7b: 41 ]
Total practice time: 225 minutes

New juggling spot today, loved it! I take a work break in this neighborhood, so I think I'll juggle here now: http://imgur.com/K2n0qRo. The sun is to my back and there is a nice flow of people. I don't like cement, so I may start bringing a pad/blanket.
This location is suitable for everything but numbers.
Today:
5b - high throws, siteswaps
6b - Fountain
7b - Lots of runs to collect. Short runs.
3c - One or two drops. Talked with people.
4c
6b multiplex
More information, not about juggling:
This park is near a 'low barrier homeless shelter'. Unlike most homeless shelters, this shelter basically allows residents to use drugs. The low barrier homeless shelter is a huge issue for the community, the city, and the local police department. Since opening a year ago, many transient drug addicts (heroine) have moved to the area. Used drug needles are a persistent problem at parks. When I juggle at parks in this area, I bring a plastic container and gloves to clean up needles. The police station is next to this park, so, no needles here!
Total practice time: 60 minutes
