Walking

my_window_seat and I have started a little walking regime. Every Tuesday and Thursday before work we walk for about 15-30 minutes. It's sad that I can get so tired out just from walking briskly for such a short period of time.

This morning was a wonderful 81 degrees with a thick slab of 70-freaking % humidity. It was like walking through a cool jello. Getting back home to the wonderful dry A/C rooms was heaven.

I only hope I'm able to keep up the regime after she's moved, although I'll probably convert it to riding my bike around on the streets. I'm also thinking about ways that I can start riding my bike to and from work. This is a bit trickier as I never know when I'll have to make a run to the bank which sadly can only be done by car. Pondering.

Actors Owen Wilson and Woody Harrelson enjoyed some horseplay while vacationing in Portofino, Italy, July 19, 2009. The friends kept their "bromance" lively as they wrestled on an inflatable tube and later tumbled into the water.

In the next 15 years, Jupiter might not be there (to save us, that is)

I hadn't seen anyone post about the recent meteor/comet attack that was thwarted by Jupiter, so I figured I'd add it.

This, for me, is one of those funky coincidences that pop up on a regular basis. I had just finished watching Sam Neill's Staying Alive (thanks to lolotehe) just last week, in which our intrepid space and time traveler tells all about how Jupiter saves millions of human lives every second.

I guess it's because we're just that damn lucky! Ka-ching! ;)
