The Major’s Walk-A-Thon

Sky: Mostly Cloudy
Temperature: 68°F
Relative Humidity: 93%
Winds: Calm
Barometric Pressure: 29.99 Rising

My thoughts:

1.  If you like to eat turducken then my neighbourhood is a farm. We have hundreds of ducks and a few assorted chickens and turkeys wandering around amongst the humans, canines, and felines. Most of them are friendly, but I have been chased by an angry duck before.

2.  I encountered nice dogs (non-barking and non-growling) on my walk this morning. They were all being walked via their respective leashes by their nice owners. One lady who I shall refer to as ‘Nightgown Lady’ has become a recurring sight on my walk.

3.  Don’t you hate it when you walk right through an invisible-to-the-naked-eye spider web ?  While you’re pulling the web material off of you you’re also looking to ensure that there’s no spiders or any other bugs on you.

4.  I wonder what my neighbourhood looked like back in 1986 when it was brand new. For a 22-year-old neighbourhood that got destroyed by Hurricane Andrew everything still looks rather nice around here.

5.  I added another tenth-of-a-mile to my walk this morning and exceeded 1.4 miles in about 27 minutes. Maybe next week I’ll go for the gusto – 1.5 miles in 30 minutes.

New Year’s Eve Plans

I was officially off the road and out of my car at precisely 2:51 PM EST this afternoon, and that’s it for 2007. I drove just a little over 7,500 miles this year – 37.5% below the national average of 12,000 miles.

My New Year’s Eve plans for tonight consist of me enjoying a peaceful and quiet night of television and computer in the safety, sanity, and comfort of my living room. I will reflect back at 2007 – a year that was filled with the highest of highs and minimal lows. It was indeed the greatest year of my entire Life – thanks to this fantastic journey following Him.

Electricity For Less Than 8 Cents Per Hour

I just received and paid my monthly FPL bill electronically, and it was nearly $45 less than it was for the previous month. In fact it was my 2ND lowest bill over the past 33 months !

It should’ve been. I was away on vacation for about half of the month !

My $60.39 electric bill over the course of 33 days equates to exactly $1.83 per day – or 7.625 cents per hour.
