Linky!

dslartoo has a couple good links about depression from fairgoldberry: Part 1, Part 2. Worth reading.

(Yes, a few items on that first list sound pretty familiar - both in my case and in someone else's. Dunno what I'll do about it.)

On a more cheerful note - I hope you enjoyed my Rabbit Hole Day entry this year; here are the ones I bookmarked of those I read, in no particular order:

• Shipday 641056 from crisper.

Walking Man

It was a gorgeous day today - ~15 °C, clear, calm - so this afternoon I went on a walk! The general idea was to scout out the potential bike-to-school path, which is south on Sligo Creek Trail, then north on Northwest Branch, so I walked to and about a mile down the former before I turned around.

On the way back, I timed myself over the "1.0 mile" between the two road crossings. From which, I calculated that xkcd was right about the velocity of a walking pace (except that 1.5 m/s is 6 kph - but I walk briskly). And also determined that 1 km ≅ 0.622 miles, which is almost correct.

Go me!
