Walking Through The Neighborhood

You miss a lot driving through the neighborhood. You miss the new plants. You miss stuff about who lives where. You never stop to talk.

Nearly everytime I am out walking, though, I see something new. Tonight, I saw a garage door painted in Happy Birthday colors for a neighborhood kid. The other day, I saw a bird cut into a swing set. It's looking forward to this stuff that makes these silly walks worth it.

So the stats: Yesterday, I walked 10,637 steps. As of this moment, 7:04 p.m. on Wednesday, July 7, 2009, I have walked 140,187 steps in 12 days.
