I'm noticing a pervasive exercise message in downtown Sacramento, that hadn't really been going on last time I worked here.
Yesterday at a fitness faire going on at the Capitol, they passed out little pedometers. Somebody else had encouraging little booklets at the ready. And the CA State Parks agency handed out brochures about short walking tours of area landmarks. I already know the landmarks very well - being able to visit them every day at lunch was one of the main perks of coming to work in the downtown again - but the information is useful.
Between all this and the ever-faithful Gmap pedometer, it's going to be easy to join the herd and walk for exercise.
Later: Now, hold on here. It's over 90 degrees today! And it's gotta be ten degrees warmer on the sidewalks than anyplace else.
I'd just like to say, nobody at the faire mentioned how to handle walking in the heat while wearing a polyester blouse and slacks ...
Gasp.
You. Wore. (I can't type it)Fabric made from p-word?
Who are you and what have you done to my daughter?

Not only that, but the blouse is ... a Liz! Remember how much I used to rail against her? I absolutely don't remember why now. Maybe it was how ugly everything used to be.

This sudden walkiness downtown is obviously a knock-off on the original
Transitarian diet.

I know that polyester has made great strides in looking better, but I still can't get the old joke out of my head, "Who are Polly and Ester, and where do they get those ugly clothes?"
