You Wish Your Town Had This Park

Centennial Park is one of the local parks in my town. I often bike or walk there to enjoy its wildlife and scenery. I've seen snakes, deer, hawks, and tadpoles there. There's jewelweed, rhubarb, milkweed, and bittersweet vine too. At the back of the park, on top of a hill, there's a bench with a plastic container filled with journals. The container's lid reads, "A little book for your thoughts as you sit in this beautiful place." Regular townsfolk walking with their dogs, spouses, sweethearts, or simply by themselves will sit down and share their lives.

For a long time I've considered putting ads on this blog. Not because I think I'll make any significant amount of money. The traffic that goes through here is frankly quite pitiful. Maximum number of hits I've ever received in a day? 353. I had to write about a college student pissing in bottles to get that. I wanted to install ads to learn how they work. So I signed up for Google Adsense. Can someone please read their terms and conditions and translate it for me?
