Holy Crapola! Gas at $3.99 is a nice way of saying "Well, it's not $4.00! It cost me a little over $60 to gas up my Ford Explorer this morning. I'm trying to break the habit of hopping in my car just to go short distances.Odd, yesterday someone was telling me the cost of a 1-month dues at the gym cost $60. Did I misspend my $60? Maybe.
Last month I was exercising twice a day, doing stair climbs and then a 3 mile jog. But I was training for something. Now that the goal is accomplished, I've slacked off. Oh, I'll do an occasional evening walk.
It rains so much here - about 86 in/yr - we have to put on raincoats to go for walks, which makes it a little less enjoyable. You don't see that many pedestrians in Sitka. But you sure see more traffic than you would expect in a town that only has 16 miles of road, and they're all dead ends!
We have 2 traffic lights in Sitka!
Zoom! Zoom! Zoom!
The sound is amplified because of rain on pavement. Are people here really that busy? Or just adverse to walking?

Where are all the pedestrians? I'm getting a roll of flab around my belly. But I'm not going to document obesity problems in Sitka. I'll let you come here and check that out for yourself.
I don't overeat; I just eat generous portions.
