It's Been Awhile!

I seem to have migrated away from blogging. Why, I'm not sure. With the pandemic, I have been watching the news, but have backed away from that also. I was getting depressed. Why does nobody push good news? When I was in the paper making business, the joke was "Good news doesn't sell. I guess that today it is even more true. What have I been doing to keep myself going in this age of depression?

In September of 2019, I started serious walking with my dog, Daphne. To date we have walked a total of 1,257 miles, burnt up 152,338 kcal, and taken 2,549,600 steps. Daphne has done a lot more miles as a straight line is unknown to her. We have enjoyed a lot of wildlife and forest trails together.

My goal has been 5.1 miles per day.

My camera goes with us and here are a few of my pictures that I am happy with.
