It's just fun to see how TD developed in the beginning. Knot was in a miserable relationship, and then she was free...and now she's happy with Trek...Fish Dr. became Bee Dr....snapdragen was always handy with the quick reply....I was single and treating you all to my match.com adventures...and Nanci was forever getting a new turtle or snake and teaching us herpetological stuff. I'm remembering those days fondly.

Today I had another first. I have worked in the same place for 30 years and i've lived in 3 houses within a few miles of each other; so i've had the same commute for 30 years.
I've never walked. Today I walked the 4 miles home!
I discovered that this commute is even worse to walk than it is to bicycle.
For roughly 1/2 of the 4 miles, there was no sidewalk or the sidewalk that was there was so overgrown with weeds that i had to wrassle with blackberries and pull grass seeds out of my socks!
It was fun though. I found a 1/15 of a dollar bill. and a wrench

Wow- how adventurous, Mimi! I often alternate my walking and my biking- the walking really helps my hip joints and my spine in ways that biking simply cannot. Most of my usual walks are about 4 miles too. Good for you!

OK, I have to ask: 1/15 of a dollar bill? How did you quantify that? The wrench is cool.

I don't know how far my walk to work is. I'm guessing about 4 mi, too. Driving home, listening to the weather, I thought that I probably won't ride to work, as it will be rainy and 61 deg tomorrow. (Blech, when did we turn into a colder, wetter PNW?!?) I thought, "I could walk", but realized I really don't want to walk 4 mi home at night.

The foot said, "Thank you".
