September 6


September 4 - 7.72 km
September 5 - 8.90 km
September 6 - 9.78 km

One of the pleasures of living in a compact urban neighborhood is the convenience of walking for a morning newspaper, especially if there are a variety of local, national and international newspapers to choose from. Having the papers delivered is pleasant but it means you don't have to leave the house till well on into the morning. The 1 km. walk before reading the papers is refreshing. Being able to conveniently and pleasurably walk for most of life's necessities is a remarkable change from a car oriented suburban life.
Papers - 1 km return.
Work - 6 km return.
Groceries - 1-7 km return.
Downtown - 1.5 - 6 km return.
Hardware - 3 km return.

September 1-3

Sept 1 - 10 km
Sept 2 - 8.44 km
Sept 3 - 8.48 km
Still mainly centered in the house, although I'm managing short walks into town. Weather is hot and humid.
Coincidentally, a short distance away by the Peterborough bus station is a mural painting of Ghost Mountain in Alberta, a connection with our western residence. A stimulating view if you can ignore the unnecessary and intrusive biblical quote.
