Today we celebrate our hard-won and long defended rights and freedoms. Make no mistake, that freedom is currently under attack. You can submit and conform or you can stand up and say “bullshit, mother fuckers!” Easy choice for me.
Last Sunday I was incapacitated by whatever it is that’s wrong with my leg. A week of antibiotics has reduced the swelling considerably, but I’m still not healed. So, my helper/caregiver harvested some guava leaves growing in the backyard and put them in a pot of hot water.
My helper went back to the pharmacy today and the pharmacist said I needed a stronger antibiotic than the one I’ve been taking. Sold her some then and there, no prescription required. Is this a great country, or what?
Anyway, I’m mostly pain-free and much, much better than a week ago. To celebrate that fact I took a nice long (for me) 10K walkabout. I moved at an embarrassingly slow 14 minutes per kilometer, but that included photo ops and cookie stops.
I did that “photo every 1000 steps” or so thing to keep it a little more interesting. Wanna see?
I must have messed up and lost count somewhere along the way. 7000 steps are usually when I hit 5K, but anyway, it’s the thought that matters, right?
Here it is on Relive:
Kevin Kim, you want to cook up a batch of these to take to work?
Also wanted to give a shout out to one of the world’s greatest dickheads:
I reckon that’s enough of this nonsense for now. Thanks for dropping by!
A very phallic post (post!) indeed. I like the “every 1000 steps” thing when you do it. While I still don’t think I have the clearest idea as to what is where in relationship to each other, I do have some notion of what lies within your “neighborhood,” so to speak. Things like “every 1000 steps” help to flesh that out in my head.
Good to know! Everything around my neck of the woods is so familiar now it’s hard to find something new to photograph. The 1000 steps thing forces my hand. And with my new starting point, it mixes it up a little bit more. I will try to use this technique more often.
