A 10K kinda day

It’s been hot so that today’s hike felt longer than it was. I know I was as tired as I was after Saturday’s [15K] hike, and that was 1/3 more than today’s today was 1/3 less than that. Still glad to be out and about doing something healthy. [Corrected for clarity and mathematical accuracy]

Our meetup place was at the mountain home of my new friends, JR and family. I lugged up some canned goods and rice to help tide them over through this difficult time. Didn’t want to be “that guy” who takes pics of the recipients, but I did sneak a photo of their open-air house.

Oh, popped into Gam Gam’s place and left some candies and cookies for her kids. My motivation is (mostly) pure. Promise.

On the trail with Scott and Jim…
Enjoyed some mountain views…
…as well as the obligatory bay view.
And here we have Jim holding up a tree.

Anyway, it was a fine and sweaty hike. Brought the guys by my house on their way home and shared some of my beer bounty with them.

Speaking of beer, here’s a shot from yesterday afternoon at “Gomans” where kids having footraces on the beach was the entertainment.

You know, Samuel Clemens called this one right:

I’m not sure what the end game is, but this whole lockdown charade has GOT to be about something else. It just does not make sense to starve folks to save them. Will the sheeple wake up in time?

After today’s hike, I moseyed over to the vet’s to purchase some canned dog food. I didn’t pay much attention to it last time other than it is pretty expensive at 140 pesos ($2.80) a can. Well, they are large and one can does feed both dogs. It’s my best option at the moment. And the dogs seem to like it. Anyway, today I took a closer look and I found this “interesting”:

I don’t think I’ve ever served kangaroo before. This ought to keep the dogs hoppin’!

And that’s about it for today…

  1. Lovely scenery. The PI truly is picturesque.

    We’re on the verge on entering the hot season here. That’ll start around the latter half of May. I’ll be pining for fall and winter soon enough.

    Enjoy the sun and fun!

    Oh, yeah: 15K isn’t a third more than 10K– it’s a half more. However, if you work it backward, 10K is a third less than 15K.

    150% of 10 = 15 (half more than 10)
    2/3 of 15 = 10 (third less than 15)

    % change is [new-old]/old × 100

    [(150-100)/100]*100 = 50% increase

  2. Sorry. That last line, while mathematically correct, should read:

    [(15-10)/10]*100 = 50% increase

    —since the question was the relationship between 10K and 15K, not 100K and 150K. Mea culpa.

  3. Yeah, I see what you are saying. Math was always my worst subject. Thanks for showing me how that works. So, what I was trying to say is is I hiked 1/3 less. A math and a phrasing error! I’m starting to feel like Joe Biden!
